In addition, since 2010 Colbún has been measuring and verifying its Carbon Footprint in scopes 1, 2 y 3 and we were the first to participate in international carbon markets. At present, six of our power plants are registered before the United Nations’ Clean Development Mechanism, which have meant an annual reduction of approximately 300,000 tons of CO2 , equivalent to removing from circulation 75,000 cars.
