About this project

This is the sixth VPA of the African Biogas Carbon Programme (ABC) that will operate following the rules and regulations of a Gold Standard Programme of Activities. It is the second VPA of the Kenya Domestic Biogas Programme (KBP) designed for biodigesters to be installed from January 2014 onwards. The overall objective of the VPA is to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the dissemination of domestic biogas systems as a local, sustainable energy source and the development of a commercially viable, market-oriented biogas sector. By encouraging the switch from traditional non-renewable biomass (NRB) fuels to renewable biogas the VPA is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. KBP is the sector leader with the responsibility of coordinating, facilitating and monitoring sector functions and supporting the technical, financial and institutional architecture necessary for development of the domestic biogas sector in Kenya. The VPA is implemented based on private sector market oriented principles, but developing governmental support for a favourable regulatory and policy environment, as well as general buy-in promotion and extension. The emissions reductions achieved through the VPA will generate carbon credits, the revenue from which will be used to enhance the biogas market development, making them more affordable for use in households, SMEs and communities.
