Saving more than the environment:
Mini-Taxi Engine Retrofits in the Philippines
•Size: 100K tCO2e
•Providing support to a local business that converts
two-stroke mini-taxi engines to modern fuel-injection
technology. More efficient engines reduce carbon
emissions and ambient air pollution.

will be submitted to the CDM Executive Board with independent verification by a
UN Designated Operational Entity.
•Why we like it:
– High climate change reduction potential
