Presentation to companies held at the headquarters of Grupo Torrent, a world leader in bottle caps, which has been manufacturing in Jerez de la Frontera for over 100 years and now has factories on three continents.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n

Companies response<\/h3>\n\n

LIFE CO2RK est\u00e1 manteniendo encuentros formales con empresas que operan en Andaluc\u00eda para exponerles los objetivos del proyecto, la forma en que pueden apoyarlo, y las ventajas que para ellas y para toda la sociedad tendr\u00eda su adhesi\u00f3n a Proyectos de Compensaci\u00f3n de Emisiones de CO2 <\/strong><\/a>que se traduzcan, adem\u00e1s de en compensaci\u00f3n, en recuperaci\u00f3n del Alcornocal como ecosistema de una gran riqueza ambiental y que es fuente de riqueza y empleo en muchas comarcas de la Pen\u00ednsula Ib\u00e9rica.<\/p>\n\n

The response is exceeding expectations, even though the LIFE CO2RK project is still in its initial stages, developing scientific methodologies to rigorously measure how much CO2 each hectare of cork oak forest sequesters, as a basis for later certifying offsets and fostering the creation of a carbon credit market.<\/p>\n\n

Presentation events<\/a><\/h4>\n\n

In addition to the individual contacts maintained by CO2RK Director Juan Manuel Fornell with large companies (“national\/European champions”) such as AIRBUS, ENEL, MAERSK… the project is developing formal events with large and medium-sized companies whose headquarters are in the province of C\u00e1diz.
They develop activity at a global level but are very familiar with the Los Alcornocales Natural Park and are highly motivated to support its regeneration.<\/p>\n\n

CO2 Emissions Offsetting and Climate Change<\/h3>\n\n

Emissions offsetting is the latest step in Climate Change Mitigation measures, which seek to slow climate change and prevent the planet from warming by 1.5\u00b0C by 2050, with the resulting impact on the environment, agriculture, natural disasters, and human health.<\/p>\n\n

El primer paso es la reducci\u00f3n de emisiones, que requiere una auditor\u00eda previa para determinar cu\u00e1nto emite cada empresa y cu\u00e1les son las actividades m\u00e1s perniciosas en este sentido. El Sistema Andaluz de Compensaci\u00f3n de Emisiones (SACE) ayuda a las empresas del sector difuso a auditar, reducir y, a trav\u00e9s de LIFE CO2RK<\/a><\/strong>, a compensar sus emisiones.<\/p>\n\n

Expectation<\/a><\/h4>\n\n

Companies that participated in the presentation meetings expressed great excitement, even though CO2RK is still in the deployment phase. <\/p>\n\n

  • 20% of the UDAs (units of Carbon absorption) will be financed in advance (UDAS EX-ANTE) to help the owner in the execution of the initial tasks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 70% UDAS in EX-POST payments after each verification, but this issue is not yet defined: if 10-year agreements are chosen instead of SACE’s 30-year claim, a verification would give the right to approximately 20% UDAs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 10% UDAs will be held in a GUARANTEE FUND with which the Administration (Regional Ministry) can compensate an owner in the event of a force majeure event, such as a fire during the period in which it has been executing a compensation agreement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
