Carbon Finance. Energy and Climate Smart Agriculture: a Development Perspective
1) Background: Hivos, an international development organisation2) Green Entrepreneurship and Climate Change 3) Domestic Biogas: 100% Clean Cooking and much more 4) Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture – Pilot Projects

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 AgricultureDevelopment 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
.e.g. Africa Biogas Partnership
Programme
DomesticBiogas =
100% Clean Cooking
3) Domestic Biogas
Domestic biogas
•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
• Design: fixed dome (4-13m³)
• Local materials & resources

Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture
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
Hivos Pilot projects to test new CSA methodology

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

Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture
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
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)

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

Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture
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?
2) Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land (coffee, fruit trees and other)

Gold Standard Climate Smart Agriculture
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
3) Kenya: usage of bio-slurry from biogas digester as alternative fertiliser

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
3) Kenya: usage of bio-slurry from biogas digester as alternative fertiliser
