Singapore's GenZero Partners with Rwanda on Carbon Offset Projects Singapore's state-backed low-carbon investment firm, GenZero, has signed an agreement with the Rwanda Green Fund and Gold Standard to develop carbon credits aimed at offsetting emissions. This partnership operates under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on climate change, which allows countries to meet climate targets through low-carbon projects in other nations. The initiative will explore potential nature-based and technology-based projects, such as nature restoration, enhanced waste management and renewable energy initiatives in Rwanda. Singapore, unlike countries like Australia and Britain, continues to rely on offsets due to limited space for large-scale renewable energy projects. Though Article 6 negotiations are ongoing, a similar carbon credit agreement was signed between Singapore and Ghana in May. Singapore has also signed MOUs with other non-African countries like Laos, Philippines, and Papua New Guinea, and completed deals with Bhutan, Paraguay, and Vietnam to collaborate on carbon credit projects. The COP29 climate talks in Azerbaijan this November will prioritize finalizing Article 6 negotiations, which has been a subject of ongoing negotiations. #CarbonOffsets #GenZero #Rwanda #ClimateAction #ParisAgreement #Sustainability #GreenEnergy

We match talent and projects to fuel a sustainable energy sector... We're taking proactive steps to reduce our carbon footprint internally, aligning with our commitment to achieve net-zero emissions. This includes minimising unnecessary travel, recycling, using recycled goods, and prioritising local supply chain procurement. We were recently awarded CarbonNeutral certification by Climate Partner. This certification validates our successful offsetting of 386.45 tonnes of carbon emissions linked to our 2022 global business activities, under the CarbonNeutral Protocol. To offset our emissions, we're supporting two initiatives... emPOWERing Africa: This initiative involves deploying various renewable energy technologies across different African countries. These sustainable technologies not only provide access to green energy but also promote local technical expertise. Improved Cookstoves: These improved cookstoves consume significantly less firewood than traditional open wood fires, reducing deforestation in Uganda. These projects both contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by contributing to the renewable energy transition in Africa and improving indoor air quality. Through these initiatives, we're committed to not only mitigating our impact on the environment but also fostering positive social and ecological change.

One of the most important reasons for companies in Zimbabwe to invest in carbon trading is the opportunity to generate additional revenue. Carbon credits can be sold on the international market, and the proceeds can be used to fund clean energy projects or offset emissions from other activities. This provides a new source of income for companies, and can help to offset the costs of investing in renewable energy technologies. In addition, the sale of carbon credits can provide a steady revenue stream that can be used to finance other business activities. Other reasons Zimbabwe has a high level of solar irradiation, making it an ideal location for solar energy projects. The government has introduced a number of incentives for renewable energy projects, including tax breaks and low-cost financing. There is a growing demand for clean energy in Zimbabwe, driven by the need to reduce the country's reliance on imported fossil fuels. Finally, investing in carbon trading can help companies to improve their reputation and build trust with customers and investors. #carbonmarkets #sustainableagriculture #climateaction #renewableenergy #carboncredits #carbontrading #solarenergy Dal B #sustainableagriculture #energyengineering #energyefficiency #energymanagement #energymarket Mining Zimbabwe rural electrification agency ZESA Holdings Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (official) Zimbabwe Carbon Association (ZCA) https://lnkd.in/djnAXNUz
As part of our commitment to an ESG Strategy, this year we reported the group as 100% carbon offset. What does this mean? We calculated our emissions at 392.4 tonnes of CO2 since 1 April 2023. We have offset this by investing in a number of carbon-capturing projects that in the current year are focused on supporting 7 UN Sustainable Development Goals. These projects include generating wind energy in Hebei Province and displacing fossil fuel generated energy to improve local air quality; protecting a forest from industrial logging and unsustainable fuel wood extraction and slash/burn farming in the Democratic Republic of Congo; and, generating clean electricity through hydropower in India.

Are you curious about Carbon Credits? What are they, and how are they traded? Carbon credits are like environmental currency, measuring the reduction of greenhouse gases. Companies can buy or sell these credits to meet emission targets. It's literally trading emissions! Companies purchase these permits to offset their emissions, supporting projects that absorb carbon dioxide like forests or renewable energy initiatives.

The EU Platform on Sustainable Finance released an intermediate report, “Monitoring capital flows to sustainable investments” - April 2024 The investment gap to reach all Green Deal objectives is about EUR 620 billion. It proposes an architecture to measure the effective contribution of finance towards the objectives of the European Green Deal. The proposed framework integrates a bottom-up representation of the real economy based on entity- and activity-level data, along with financial sector instruments available from primary and secondary markets. As part of this, it considers transition finance for both financial and non-financial undertakings. #greenhydrogen #energy #energia #energie #hydrogeneurope #nh3 #industrialclusters #energytransition #sdgs2030 #europeancommission #energialimpia #esg #hidrogenoverde #afrique #cleanenergy #industria #unido #decarbonization #emissionsreduction #descarbonizacion #electrolysis #electrolyzer #electrolyser #pem #soec #ev #electrification #electricvehicles #fcev #bev #soe #aem #cathode #anode #h2 #oxygen #greenelectricity #water #energy #renewableenergy #greenhydrogen #idrogenoverde #hydrogènevert #hydrogenenergy #hydrogenstrategy #hidrogenioverde #hidrogenoverde #hidrógeno #hidrogenio #wasserstoff #wasserstoff #onshorewind #solarenergy #hydroenergy #ifc #afc #H2Med #irena #h2lligence #decarbonize #renewableenergy #canaldesuez #iea #sokhna #sfe #afriquedusud #afriquedelouest #egypthydrogen #emethanol #hydrogènevert #hydrogène #windenergie #hydrogenenergy #hydrogenfuel #hidrogenoverde #hidrógeno #hidrogenioverde #idrogenoverde #idrogeno #hidrojen #windpower #windenergy #menaregion #hydrogenfuelcell #giz #ifc #iea #ebrd #eib #waterstof #greenfuel #greenammonia #ebrd #maersk #greenmethanol #irena #saf #greenfertilizers #greenfertilisers #greenfuel #greenmethanol #egypt #world_bank #un #greensteel #greenfert #suezcanal #redsea #greenbunkering #bunkering #ccus #ccs #carboncredits #carbonfootprint #carbonneutrality #carbononeutral #maritimeindustry #VesselEmissions #shippingindustry #maritimetransport #emethanol #decarbonisation #aviation #trasporti #transportation #bluehydrogen #lngindustry #naturalgas #lngshipping #energy #indistry #manufacturing #waste #transportation #agriculture #fossilfuels #greenhousegas #ghgemissions #carbonemissions #emissions #mitigation #climatechange #climateaction #environment #environmental #carbondioxide #carbondioxideremoval #aviation Osama Fawzy Georgy HENEIN, MBA

3moThis is an insightful article. Additionally, Nigeria could adopt advancements in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, such as direct air capture (DAC) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), to significantly reduce emissions from its gas sector. DAC involves pulling carbon dioxide directly from the air, which could be particularly beneficial in regions where traditional capture methods are less feasible or economically viable. Similarly, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, which involve injecting CO2 into depleted oil fields to recover additional oil while permanently storing CO2 underground, offer dual benefits. it not only enhances oil production but also facilitates large-scale carbon sequestration.
