The Global Carbon Council (GCC) continues to expand its portfolio of high-integrity climate projects with the registration of “LOC NINH 1, 2 and 3 by Super Energy Corp”, a large-scale solar power project in Viet Nam.
Located in Loc Tan Commune, Loc Ninh District, Binh Phuoc Province, the project comprises three solar photovoltaic plants with a combined installed capacity of 500 MW (AC), supplying clean electricity to Viet Nam’s national grid.
The project is owned by Super Carbon X Company Limited and has been independently verified by 4K Earth Science Private Limited, ensuring that its emission reductions meet GCC’s rigorous standards for transparency and credibility.
Scaling Solar Energy for Climate Action
The LOC NINH project demonstrates how large-scale renewable energy deployment can deliver measurable climate impact. By generating approximately 733,091 MWh of renewable electricity annually, the project is expected to reduce 603,315 tCO₂ emissions per year over its crediting period.
By displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation from Viet Nam’s national grid, the project contributes directly to the country’s clean energy transition while strengthening energy security.
Ensuring Integrity Through Robust Standards
The project applies the internationally recognized ACM0002 methodology (Version 21.0) for grid-connected renewable electricity generation and has undergone a comprehensive validation and verification process.
Its additionality has been demonstrated through investment and common practice analyses, confirming that carbon finance plays a critical role in enabling the project.
Mr. Chaphamon Chantarapongphan, President of Super Carbon X Co., Ltd., said:
“LOC NINH 1, 2 and 3 stands as a milestone in Viet Nam’s renewable energy journey. Beyond delivering clean energy, the project supports local communities through job creation, infrastructure development, and long-term socio-economic value. As we move forward with GCC carbon credit certification, we reaffirm our commitment to transparency, environmental integrity, and inclusive growth, demonstrating how carbon markets can deliver both climate impact and community benefits.”
Positive Impacts for People and Planet
Beyond emission reductions, the project delivers a range of environmental, social, and economic benefits that contribute to long-term sustainable development in the region.
