SINGAPORE, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ACEN Corporation and The Rockefeller Foundation announced today that the first Coal to Clean Credit Initiative (CCCI) pilot project under consideration in the Philippines could avoid up to 19 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. An RMI-led assessment supported by The Rockefeller Foundation explored the climate impact of leveraging carbon finance to close South Luzon Thermal Energy Corporation (SLTEC) coal plant in 2030 – ten years ahead of its scheduled retirement – and replacing it with clean power and battery storage, while supporting the livelihoods of workers affected by the plant's early transition.

Key Points:

Announced during Financing Asia's Transition Conference, the analysis applied CCCI's draft methodology, currently under review by Verra, to assess SLTEC's eligibility for carbon financing.
Eric Francia, President & CEO of ACEN Corporation, said: "We are delighted to accomplish this important milestone of confirming the project's eligibility under CCCI's draft methodology.
This paves the way to fully develop the just transition plan and engage with potential buyers of carbon credits.
By 2025, ACEN hopes to finalize buyer discussions and reach a financial close for this world's first coal-to-clean carbon credit transaction.
