2) Green Entrepreneurship and Climate Change
Carbon Credits as co-financing source for Renewable
Energy
•
•
Hivos Climate Fund buying carbon credits from NBP Cambodia
since 2007, registered VGS since 2011
Development of Gold Standard and CDM projects for domestic
biogas programmes in Indonesia, Kenya/ Africa, Nicaragua
Climate Smart Agriculture --> PES & Carbon Finance
-- > same principles, but different specifics
= multiple environmental services =
= less carbon revenues =

2) Green Entrepreneurship and Climate Change
Climate Smart Agriculture
Development Objective: Food Security at global and
local level, but
- Acknowledging planet boundaries
- Improved productivity (incl soil fertility) of smallholders
is key to increase rural incomes and employment
- Adaptation to climate change is imperative / resilience
(even necessary without climate change)
+ Biobased Economy: beyond food: agriculture/ nature
needs to provide more products to replace fossil based
economy

3) Domestic Biogas
e.g. Africa Biogas Partnership Programme
.
Domestic
Biogas =
100% Clean
Cooking
•
•
•
Design: fixed dome (4-13m³)
Local materials & resources
Feeding: livestock manure &
human excreta (> 20 kg daily)
•
•
•
•
Investment cost Africa: USD 650-1500
Life: > 20 years
Gas use: cooking & lighting
Bio-slurry: organic fertiliser

Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture
Hivos Pilot projects to test new CSA methodology
1) Peru: conversion from wet rice system to a system with
banana/ cocoa & (high value) shade trees
2) Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land (coffee,
fruit trees and other)
3) Kenya: usage of bio-slurry from biogas digester as
alternative fertiliser

1) Peru: conversion from rice to banana and cocoa
with shade trees


Experience with CarbonFix in coffee region/ reforestation
- initial project 250 farmers, 250-500 ha (will be expanded)




Land conversion from rice to banana/ cocoa/ timber
Feasibility assessment has been completed in 2013
Emission reduction potential calculated with Cool Farm Tool
BE (rice) 16,5 tCO2e/ha PE 1,4 -> ER 15,1 tCO2e/ha

2) Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land
(coffee, fruit trees and other)
Implementing partners: CEDECO (Costa Rica)
& PRODECOOP (Nicaragua)


CEDECO has developed Cam(Bio)2 methodology
3 components: SOC, GHG ER (incl fertilizer change) and Energy
efficiency

(coffee, fruit trees and other)
Implementing partners: CEDECO (Costa Rica)
& PRODECOOP (Nica)



PRODECOOP: total 2,300 members, 4,295 ha; pilot project on 2
coops 262 members (incl 75 women)
Baseline studies ongoing (soil, biomass, emissions, socio-economic,
food security, biodiversity)
Measures: composting, shade/ biomass/ fruit trees?, other?

3) Kenya: usage of bio-slurry from biogas digester
as alternative fertiliser
Implementing partner: Kenya National Farmers Federation KENAFF
(formerly KENFAP)
- Kenya Domestic Biogas Programme KENDBIP


Already CDM/GS certified (registered at CDM) as a Renewable
Energy ER project
We would like to add ER effect of bio-slurry : (fertilizer replacement,
other?) -> bio-slurry liquid application, dried or composted


Pre feasibility study done by Soil & More (model simulation with
tea producers)
Biogas User Survey – data collected in Kenya and Indonesia about
soil features, crops and fertiliser use


Replicable to other domestic biogas projects
