African Carbon Asset Development Facility (ACAD)
• The overriding goal is to establish a robust CDM market
in Africa by creating CDM projects that are replicable in an
African context
• ACAD focuses on building capacity of the African
financial sector to identify and appraise CDM opportunities
• Financial sector training/outreach and developer oneon-one project clinics are integral components of the
programme
• Supports African carbon projects through a combination
of technical assistance, grants and access to private sector
finance
** KENYA: Lake Turkana Wind Power Project (Kenya) –
ACAD provided partial payment for validation costs under the
CDM
** NIGERIA: The Lagos Waste Management Authority in
Nigeria is developing several waste-to-energy sites. ACAD is
supporting the costs of engineering and carbon auditing
studies required to earn carbon credits
** SOUTH AFRICA : Cogen project

CASCADE
- Carbon finance in the bioenergy and finance
sectors
- Types of CDM projects supported
- 3 MW gasification plant in Kandi, North Benin
building and operation of a 3 MW biomass-fuelled power plant to provide electricity to
the local rural populations, enabling job creation in the area.
- Bio fules Mali
biodiesel fuel for use in local installations that currently rely on conventional diesel
fuel. It specifically targets machines used by local mills and the local electricity
production company. This renewable fuel will be produced using seeds from
smallscale jatropha curcas plantations created as part of the project.
