Mobilising More For Climate (MoMo4C) - Zaacoal Trip

Mobilizing More for Climate (MoMo4C) is a five-year programme (2020-2024) funded by the Dutch Foreign Affairs Ministry in partnership with IUCN NL, WWF NL, and Tropenbos International which seek to Develop Innovative Finance for Climate Action Using a Landscape Approach.

As part of efforts to ensure a Green Business economy in Ghana, A Rocha Ghana and partners in August 2021 opened a call for Climate-smart Green Business initiatives that build climate change resilience and achieve landscape restoration by reducing firewood and Charcoal production related deforestation and improve access to renewable biomass energy.

Training and consultations sessions have since being held for finalists of the MoMo4C Business Call. The participants were also privileged to go on an exchanged visit to Zaacoal Limited―a renewable energy company which produces clean, long burning and high heat charcoal from coconut waste.

The aim of the visit was to learn first-hand how clean energy can be generated.
The video is about their visit to Zaacoal Limited.
