Overview
Hydropower comprises 30% of all carbon offsets projects registered under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Over 1,000 hydropower projects are already registered under the CDM and another 700 are applying for registration, more than any other project type.[1]
Selected Small Hydro Power Carbon Finance Projects
