Accessing Carbon Finance for clean cooking solutions in Nigeria
In several countries, access to carbon finance has helped in lowering the retail cost of clean cookstoves. Under the defunct CDM, projects obtained CERs – or carbon credits for over ten or twenty-one-year periods. A regular Jiko with Tier 2 standard could deliver about three CERs, often sufficient to pay for the total cost of distribution and retailing of these stoves. By paying the total or partial cost of these stoves, poorer households are able to transit to cleaner cooking. While the financing framework for the Paris Agreement is yet to be finalized, project developers are using Gold Standard and bilateral carbon financing deals. Carbon traders are rekindling interest in Nigeria. One of the emerging opportunities in the Nigeria Clean Cooking Industry is the interest of key organizations such as Impact Carbon, Marubeni Corporation, Up Energy Group, and others in developing carbon assets from the clean cooking industry.In this session, a keynote speaker will discuss international perspectives on financing clean cooking. Key carbon finance organisations with presence in Nigeria will also present their current activities and future plans.
