Under
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) that
industrialized countries – who are responsible for the vast
majority of emissions that cause climate change – should take the
first steps towards sustainable energy consumption, use of
clean technologies and sustainable land management practices, which
are needed to mitigate the
impacts of climate change. CDM allows developed countries
to generate ‘carbon
credits’ (Certified Emission
Reductions, CERs) in developing countries
Agriculture
Technology Transfer Society (ATTS) in association with Core CarbonX
Solutions Private Limited is launching a small scale Programme of
Activities (POA) which involves the installation of Domestic
Biogas plants for the households in Sudan under the Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) of United Nation Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC). Under the POA the small scale projects under the
above mentioned category will be developed. The first CDM Programme
of Activity (CPA) has been proposed at North Kordofan under the POA.
The POA and CPA intend to reduce the amount
of fuel wood and agriculture residues used for cooking with cleaner
biogas and also reduce methane emissions from the animal manure and
will contribute strongly to the sustainable development of the rural
households involved in the project.The
POA and CPAs would contribute to the global efforts towards combating
global warming. In order to understand the concerns and opinions of
the local stakeholders a consultation meeting was held at Policeman
Headquarter Hall on 21 March 2013 at 9.00 AM.
The
first milestone concerning a questionnaire was completed. The project
documentation was delivered to the designated national authority
(DNA) at the higher council for environment and natural resources for
the issuance of letter of approval. Next milestone will deal with
validation and verification.
