The Problem

Over 21 million people in Uganda are without access to clean water. Communities often rely on unsafe wells, lakes and other open water sources that are highly susceptible to contamination. Community groups own many existing boreholes across Uganda that have fallen into disrepair because maintenance programmes have been poorly managed or have proven too expensive.

The Solution

The Lango Safe Water project aims to resolve this issue by restoring existing boreholes and providing training for their continued maintenance. In addition to improved access to clean water, this will serve to reduce the emissions associated with boiling water to sanitise it. The initiative also addresses gender inequality and has become the first ever Gold Standard Gender Responsive certification project.

The Problem

The construction of the Titas natural gas distribution system in Greater Dhaka began in the 1960s. Over the years, the system has not been adequately maintained. As a result, a significant percentage of the natural gas (predominately methane, CH4) now leaks and releases components into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Leaks in the distribution system are caused by normal component wear, thermal and vibrational stresses as well as seasonal expansion/contraction. The company operators lack the advanced leak detection equipment, repair materials and trained workers to identify chronically leaking components and make reliable repairs.

The Solution

The project aims to reduce gas leakages in the gas distribution system, using various advanced leak detection equipment. Leaks are identified throughout the above ground infrastructure, including flanges, valves, insulating joints. The main leak detection and quantification technology used in the project is the “Hi-Flow Sampler” (HFS), a machine designed to detect and measure leaks in gas infrastructure. Once a leak is found and measured, quality repair materials is used to seal it indefinitely. The project has an ongoing monitoring program to ensure leak repairs remain intact.

The Problem

In Scotland, large areas that were once covered in trees have been replaced by other ecosystems, like heathlands, often resulting in less carbon sequestration, and lower biodiversity. Now, ancient woodlands - those that have existed since at least AD 1600 and have developed irreplaceable, complex ecosystems - cover only 1% of the country. Native woodlands are not doing much better, covering just 4%.

The Solution

The project will increase carbon capture and biodiversity near Loch Ness and Loch Mhor, through the creation of 63 hectares of new native woodland. The woodland will serve as an expansion of nearby ancient native woodlands. Since herbivores like deer, with no natural predators left, can harm forest ecosystems and prevent natural forest regeneration, both the new trees and the existing forest will be fenced.
