Our Planet
The climate emergency is one of the most pressing issues we face as a planet, it is all of our responsibilities to do our part.
Buckingham Coatings are taking steps to minimise the effect that our business has on planet Earth, we are proud to be working towards a climate positive workforce, we have taken steps to offset the carbon caused by our business travel and are actively supporting efforts to plant trees to capture carbon from the atmosphere in the future.
We will continue to investigate further ways to minimise our impact on the environment and aim to be carbon neutral by 2025. To date we have supported projects to: Improve stoves in Eritrea reducing the amount of wood and charcoal being burnt; Build a wind farm in Indonesia generating renewable energy and Reforest Madagascar. Read More about these projects below.

Mangrove planting in Madagascar
Supporting the non-profit Eden Reforestation Projects to continue reforesting the island. Eden are world leaders in responsible reforestation, having already planted 265 million trees and created 2.6 million work days for local communities.
Sidrap Wind Farm, Indonesia
The power generated by this project will be supplied to the public electricity grid where it will be transformed to 150 kV. The expected net annual power supply to the grid is 253,000 MWh. The project employs 709 people, 95% of which are Indonesian.
Cleaner & Safer Stoves, Malawi
Biomass energy conservation project operating in Malawi, responsible for avoiding 157,816 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Wind Energy in Hatay, Turkey
Installing 16 wind turbines (3 megawatts each) in the southern Turkish province on the Mediterranean coast, Hatay.
Improved stoves in Eritrea
Distribution of approx. 8,000 domestic fuel-efficient cook stoves to households within the Anseba district in Eritrea.
Wind farm project, Turkey
Installing 16 wind turbines (2.5 megawatts each) in the north western Turkish province, Bilecik.
Bio-digesters for rural Vietnamese farmers
This multi-award winning Gold Standard project provides farmers with a way of producing their own renewable fuels from animal manure.
Santa Marta landfill gas capture in Chile
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by capturing, flaring and generating electricity from the methane gas (LFG) produced at the landfill.
Thailand landfill gas capture
Capturing the methane produced by the landfill site which is then used to generate 16MW of clean energy and fed in to Thailand’s grid.
Solar power in Maharashtra, India
Installation of 100 megawatt solar power project in west India, Maharashtra, displacing 164,869 tonnes of CO2 every year during the project’s lifetime.
Protecting the Amazon from deforestation, Brazil
Protection of 496,988 hectares of Brazilian rainforest. Net saving of 15,491,971 tonnes of CO2e from entering the atmosphere over the 30 year phase.
