127 000 carbon credits worth $130 000 donated

22nd October 2010

  

Font size: - +

In support of South Africa hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup, petrochemicals giant Sasol donated over 127 925 carbon credits, worth about $130 000, to the 2010 FIFA World Cup Local Organising Committee (LOC) South Africa to help offset the soccer tournament’s carbon footprint.

These credits represent a reduction in greenhouse gases, and are equivalent to 127 925 t of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The carbon footprint of the 2010 FIFA World Cup had been estimated to be at about 900 000 t of CO2, excluding the emissions resulting from international travel to and from South Africa, said Sasol.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup presented an opportunity to enhance environmental sus- tainability for South Africa. Over the past few years, event greening had become a significant focus of the FIFA event; however, owing to South Africa’s geography and infrastructure, the carbon footprint was expected to be much larger than that of the 2006 tournament.

The carbon credits allowed the tournament’s local carbon footprint to be reduced by about 14% and went a long way towards augmenting other initiatives in place to help offset the tournament’s carbon footprint, Sasol reports.

Meeting the global demand for energy will accelerate greenhouse-gas emissions unless effective technological solutions and management interventions are developed and implemented. “It is through such solutions that Sasol earned the carbon credits that were donated to the 2010 LOC to offset the soccer tournament’s footprint,” said Sasol executive director Nolitha Fakude. “Sasol was proud to show its support for the 2010 FIFA World Cup through this donation.”

The 2010 LOC environmental project coordinator, Ike Ndlovu, said: “Carbon offset programmes are one of the ways we hoped to reduce the impact of the soccer tournament on the environment. Throughout the planning of the tournament, we looked at oppor- tunities to offset our carbon footprint. We believe this donation went a long way towards helping reduce that footprint.”
