CO2 Tech has been awarded a contract by the government of Romania to outline a national Kyoto Protocol and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) compliance program to reduce specific greenhouse gas emission, the company said on Monday.
CO2 will specifically provide guidance to the Romanian government regarding the reduction of the following pollutants: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). CO2 Tech will focus in Romania’s chemical, metal and mineral production industries.
Romania, which was defined by the Kyoto Protocol as an Annex 1 country, submitted a report of its activities under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol in late 2006, including a review of the country’s national strategy on climate control. In this report, Romania which is currently undergoing the process of transition to a market economy, declared its national priority to promote its national activities to meet UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol commitments and to develop and implement activities on adaptation to climate change impacts and reduction of carbon intensity, CO2 Tech said.
CO2 Tech is a UK-based company which provides anti-global-warming technologies.
