Turning agricultural waste
into clean electricity.

The Jilin Gongzhuling Biomass Generation Project is a renewable energy initiative located in Jilin Province, China. It generates electricity from organic agricultural residues — material that would otherwise decompose or be burned in open fields, releasing CO₂ with no energy benefit.

By capturing the energy value in these residues through controlled biomass combustion, the project produces clean electricity that displaces coal-based power from the regional grid. The result is a measurable, documented reduction in greenhouse gas emissions — verified to international standards.

Biomass energy:
closing the carbon cycle.

Biomass power generation uses organic material — in this case, agricultural residues from the surrounding farming region — as fuel. When burned in a controlled facility, these residues release energy that drives turbines to generate electricity.

Unlike fossil fuels, the carbon released during biomass combustion was recently absorbed from the atmosphere by the growing plants. When managed responsibly, the carbon cycle remains balanced — making verified biomass generation a recognised pathway to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector.

The Jilin project is grid-connected, meaning its clean output directly displaces electricity that would otherwise be generated from coal-fired plants — one of the most carbon-intensive energy sources in China's energy mix.

Measured, verified,
and additional.

The project delivers real climate benefits — not estimates or projections. Emission reductions are calculated using internationally recognised baselines that reflect the carbon intensity of the regional electricity grid. Every tonne of CO₂ equivalent avoided is monitored against this baseline and independently verified.

The reductions are "additional" — meaning they would not have occurred without the carbon finance that supports the project's operation. This is a core requirement of credible carbon accounting and a non-negotiable criterion for UN CDM certification.

Verified under the
UN Clean Development Mechanism.

The Jilin Gongzhuling Biomass Generation Project is registered under the Clean Development Mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change — the most rigorous international framework for verifying carbon reductions in developing economies.

All emission reductions are independently audited by accredited Designated Operational Entities. This third-party verification ensures that every claimed reduction is real, measurable, permanent, and additional — providing the foundation for credible climate communication by any company that supports the project.

How your company
connects to this project.

Green Circle does not develop or operate climate projects directly. We consolidate contributions from participating companies and direct them towards certified, high-integrity projects like the Jilin Gongzhuling Biomass Generation Project — ensuring scale, efficiency, and verified impact.

When your company joins a Green Circle program, your annual contribution supports this and other certified projects in the portfolio. You receive a Certificate of Carbon Neutrality, all communication assets, and the ability to make an honest, documented climate claim — backed by UN-verified emission reductions.
