Umdoni Bio Fuel2010/01/06The Umdoni Municipality and the Project Preparation Trust (PPT) are partners in this project with PACE. The project involves households displacing coal wood paraffin and dung fuel sources with bioethanol gel (a by-product of the local sugarcane industry). Stoves were originally provided by the municipality but have been subsequently replaced and upgraded by PACE. The project received significant carbon revenue from Credible Carbon in 2011 and used this to expand through the purchase of energy efficient woodstoves photovoltaic panels and solar water heaters.9 8069 8069 695111
Amathole Berries2011/04/04This project located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa generates credits from the composting sawmill residue to make an organic berry growing medium. The process reduces methane emisisons from the sawmill and displaces inorganic fertiliser.1 3781 3781 3780
Greenpop2011/08/12Greenpop use trees to build social bridges and transform communities in a novel and remarkable way. PACE supported the planting of 1 100 indigenous and fruit-bearing trees in Manenberg outside Cape Town in exchange for the carbon sequestrated by these trees. Greenpop deliver a lot more than trees or carbon sequestration and although PACE has long been cautious of bio-sequestration projects in this project the registry has made conservative claims regarding the amount of carbon sequestrated and finds the projects fulfil Credible Carbon’s poverty co-benefit criteria. 2012 will see Credible Carbon trade all of Greenpop’s carbon including that sequestrated in an ambitious youth-awareness project in Zambia.3636360
Hout Bay Recycling Co-op2011/10/21A social enterprise started by Thrive Hout Bay saw residents of Imizamo Yethu township in Hout Bay begin recycling in 2009.
