  2. Carbon Finance. Energy and Climate Smart Agriculture: a Development Perspective Gold Standard Conference, 11 March 2014 • Background: Hivos, an international development organisation • Green Entrepreneurship and Climate Change • Domestic Biogas: 100% Clean Cooking and much more • Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture – Pilot Projects • Harry Clemens, Hivos– • presentation Gold Standard Conference, Zurich, 11 March 2014 Hivos | 2014

  4. 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 = Hivos | 2014

  5. 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 Hivos | 2014

  6. 3) Domestic Biogas e.g. Africa Biogas Partnership Programme . DomesticBiogas = 100% Clean Cooking

  7. 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 Domestic biogas Design: fixed dome (4-13m³) Local materials & resources Feeding: livestock manure & human excreta (> 20 kg daily)

  11. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture Hivos Pilot projects to test new CSA methodology • Peru: conversion from wet rice system to a system with banana/ cocoa & (high value) shade trees • Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land (coffee, fruit trees and other) • Kenya: usage of bio-slurry from biogas digester as alternative fertiliser Hivos | 2013

  12. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 1) Peru: conversion from wet rice systems to a system with banana/cocoa & (high value) shade trees • Implementing partner: CEPICAFE • - assisted by Proclimate / Progreso Foundation Hivos | 2013

  13. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 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 Hivos | 2014

  14. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 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 Hivos | 2014

  15. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 2) Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land (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? Hivos | 2014

  16. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 2) Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land (coffee, fruit trees and other) Hivos | 2014

  17. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 2) Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land (coffee, fruit trees and other) Hivos | 2014

  18. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 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 Hivos | 2014

  19. Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture 3) Kenya: usage of bio-slurry from biogas digester as alternative fertiliser • 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 Hivos | 2014
