Name: Aquarius Hydroelectric Project
Location : Itiquira, Brazil
Type: Run-of-River Hydropower Plant
Credit Type : Certified Emission Reduction (CER)
The Aquarius Hydroelectric Project is a small-scale, renewable energy project in Brazil.
The project is a grid connected run-of-river hydropower plant (with no dam or flooding) at Itiquira, Mato Grosso State, Brazil and is registered registered under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
The project has an installed capacity of 4.2 MW and utilises the water of the Correntes river. It partly replaces fossil fuel-based electricity generation and is expected to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by approximately 15,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent per year.
The independent verification report confirmed that, in the period between 15 December 2006 and 31 December 2007, the project reduced emissions by 19,024 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
