Next generation BioCarbon Fund – A/R, project REDD+ and agriculture carbon The World Bank is continuing the groundbreaking work done by its BioCarbon Fund to bring carbon markets to rural communities because of the significant role this has in alleviating poverty. The fund will continue testing and piloting while scaling up the work that it has started… Donor supported BioCF+ BioCarbon Fund Buyer Windows • Help support sellers develop and bring assets to market • Design and test of innovative financing approaches • Continue to work on novel approaches to land-based carbon accounting, simplify processes • New, revolutionary methodological advances at the landscape level • Use BioCF lessons learned to promote changes in land-based rules • Create value for additional co-benefits • Work on potential NAMA crediting • Donor supported A/R scale up Landscape approach • Provide sellers guaranteed buyers • Opportunities for scaling up existing afforestation/reforestation projects • Upfront financing through advanced payments • Could have dedicated country-windows • Break free of fragmentation of accounting for each project activity separately • Allow for any land-based activities that reduce emissions within a project boundary, to be credited • Include carbon accounted for by other means like cookstoves TBD tCER/VER Soil sequestration Pilot project REDD+ • Pilot areas not yet tested to include • croplands, grasslands, rice paddies, wetlands and biochar • Will create VERs and VCUs • Dedicated agriculture window • Funding comes from public and private sectors • Develop model for testing the quantification and monetization of co-benefits in a REDD+ project beyond the carbon component • Test concept of wildlife premium • Creating VER with bundled co-benefits VER/VCU VER/VCU Contact: Ellysar Baroudy, BioCarbon Fund Managerebaroudy@worldbank.org
CPaFF Expanding carbon finance in low-income countries – Carbon Pioneering and Financing Facility The Carbon Pioneering and Financing Facility (CPaFF) Build readiness and capacity to access carbon markets and support a pipeline of low-carbon investment opportunities in the poorest countries with a focus on fighting energy poverty. This initiative will work through three complementary components… Carbon Asset Pioneering Fund Carbon Financing Fund Pioneering Buyer Mechanism • Promote reforms in carbon market rules to benefit low income countries: • Suppressed energy demand and avoided emissions • Standardized baselines • Support the definition of and transition towards the next generation of market mechanisms • Build capacity & lend technical assistance to carbon finance project entities • Support African and LDC climate negotiators • Research and Develop innovative carbon financing • Allowing carbon finance to contribute to closing the critical investment financing gap • Initially donor supported then self sustaining • Allows monetization of carbon revenues to provide up-front financing • Revolving Grant Facility • Well adapted to micro / community level investments w/ high capital cost • Offers a portfolio of mostly energy and energy efficiency projects in low-income countries (including cookstoves, household energy, etc.) • Public and private sector buyers • Supports sellers with project development assistance and provides conduit to market • Up-front fee followed by right of first refusal to sign Primary ERPA Contact: Brice Quesnel, Fund Managerbquesnel@worldbank.org
