One of the most impactful ways to generate renewable, emissions-free energy is with onshore wind turbines. Replacing fossil fuels, wind energy is one of the top solutions to mitigating climate change. Selecting Wind Energy for your Counterbalance climate action project helps finance the development of wind turbines globally to displace fossil fuels like coal. 

According to project drawdown, wind turbines account for nearly 4% of global electricity and costs to install them are dropping, creating the perfect opportunity to develop wind energy at a utility scale to combat climate change. Wind farms utilize only a small fraction of the land they sit on, allowing grazing or wildlife conservation to happen simultaneously with power generation. These wind farms are developed with infrastructure for energy storage and energy transmission to make renewable energy the easiest and best choice.

Wind Energy projects not only help reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also contribute towards local, sustainable economic growth and provide clean electricity that doesn't contribute towards air pollution. In just a few years, wind power projects can mitigate millions of tons of CO2e.These projects are government by socially responsible organizations that help improve the quality of life for the community surrounding the project by creating permanent jobs, financing school and hospital improvements, and developing potable water supply infrastructure.
