Native Energy Hydraid BioSand Water Filter Programme West Africa
Gold Standard · GS1264 · Ghana
About this project
The micro-scale VPA NativeEnergy Clean Water Programme West Africa VPA (01)- Ghana is the first VPA to be included in the micro scale PoA “NativeEnergy Clean Water Programme West Africa” . The VPA aims to reduce ligneous fuel consumption used for domestic/non-residential water treatment by introducing zero energy Clean water technology to replace the use of boiling. The VPA shall be implemented by the CME Native Energy and shall be implemented in the Greater Accra Region of The Republic of Ghana. This micro-scale VPA shall apply the Gold Standard methodology “Technologies and Practices to Displace Decentralized Thermal Energy Consumption”, and therefore shall incorporate any project technologies or activities that displace thermal energy consumption in existing baseline practices - namely the Biosand filters.
