1.DISSEMINATION OF CLEAN COOKING TECHNOLOGIES ()
MozCarbon is harnessing the Carbon Markets through the dissemination of ICS, aiming to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2) and generate Verified Emission Reductions (VERs) under the Gold Standard framework. MozCarbon is currently implementing a PoA and so far we have more than 200.000 stoves sold in Mozambique.
2. REDUCED EMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATION AND DEGRADATION (REDD+)
With complete baseline data at hand, the company is now ready and fully prepared to implement REDD+, IFM and AR/RE in the selected areas, once funding is secured. The provinces of Zambezia, Gaza and Cabo Delgado have been identified as the most potential areas to implement REDD+ projects. In that framework, MozCarbon has implemented pilot activities in the Zambezia and Cabo Delgado Provinces, planting more than 120 ha using native species, in collaboration with local communities, CBO (Community Based Organizations) and traditional leaders.
The summary of some of the potential REDD+ Projects is presented below:
Province | District | Carbon Standard | Project Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gaza | Chicualacuala, Mabalane e Guijá | VCS | REDD+ |
| Sofala | Gorongosa | VCS | REDD+ |
