Bevis Africa is a Climate Fintech Company with the goal of expediting regenerative finance and significantly reducing carbon emissions on a large scale. Our mission aims to empower those who are most impacted by climate change to actively contribute to resolving this global issue. Our dedication lies in expanding the reach and impact of climate action via the voluntary carbon market as we onboard small-scale farmers, fishermen, artisanal Miners, and pastoralists.
We empower our clients with essential information through transparent communication, highlighting the value and impact of carbon offset projects.
We are committed to improving the efficiency of the registration, monitoring, and evaluation process, a significant hurdle in the voluntary carbon market.
Our goal is to deliver outstanding service to our clients by consistently exploring and adapting to emerging technologies and regulations. To transform lives, and inspire change.
What Are Voluntary Carbon Markets?
Voluntary carbon markets provide a platform for organizations to buy carbon credits as a means of compensating for their carbon emissions. These credits signify a reduction in or removal of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which can be accomplished through initiatives promoting renewable energy, energy efficiency, reforestation, and other actions that decrease or eliminate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When a company acquires a carbon credit, they are essentially supporting a low-carbon project and can apply the credit to counterbalance their own unavoidable.
How Do Voluntary Carbon Markets Foster Sustainable Development?
Voluntary carbon markets drive sustainable development by encouraging the adoption of environmentally friendly, low-carbon projects. By offering organizations the opportunity to offset their emissions through carbon credits, they stimulate investments in activities such as afforestation, energy efficiency improvements, and enhanced waste management, all of which reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This, in turn, facilitates the shift towards a low-carbon economy, yielding various additional benefits, including:
Enhanced Energy Security and Independence: Investment in renewable energy sources reduces reliance on fossil fuels, promoting greater energy security and independence.
Improved Air and Water Quality: Low-carbon projects not only reduce carbon emissions but also mitigate other pollutants that contribute to poor air and water quality.
Job Creation and Economic Growth: The transition to a low-carbon economy generates employment opportunities in sectors like renewable energy, energy efficiency, and forestry, concurrently stimulating economic growth within these industries.
Additionally, voluntary carbon markets will help catalyse the development of new low-carbon projects, by providing financial incentives for investment in these activities. This will help to spur innovation and investment in the low-carbon economy, which is essential for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
We kick-started our carbon removal efforts with regenerative agriculture as our inaugural method. This means that the carbon removal solutions you purchase or incorporate come from farmers who practice regenerative farming techniques aimed at storing carbon in their soils. Farmers in East Africa will be able to access the carbon market and receive additional carbon revenue streams through the adoption of productivity-enhancing practices and technologies. Regenerative agriculture not only offers a cost-effective approach but also revitalizes worn-out agricultural lands, with the potential to lock away over a billion tonnes of carbon annually. These will be under the sustainable agricultural land management (SALM) carbon accounting methodology.
But this is just the initial step. Our Supply Team in collaboration with industry players are currently hard at work, exploring and crafting additional carbon removal methods that will soon join our marketplace to ensure Farmers, fishermen, Artisanal Miners, and pastoralists in Eastern Africa are on boarded to benefit from the voluntary Carbon market.
We also work with fishermen, BMUs and CBOs to harness the potential of the blue economy in the following spheres:
Carbon Storage: Blue carbon refers to the carbon stored in coastal and marine environments, encompassing both above and belowground biomass as well as rich soil deposits. These ecosystems house vast amounts of carbon, playing a crucial role in global efforts to combat climate change. However, their capacity to act as carbon sinks is compromised when they suffer degradation or destruction, leading to the release of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Conservation Urgency: It is imperative to intensify efforts and expand financial options to protect rather than harm these vital ecosystems.
Incentivizing Protection: Our programs offer incentives for safeguarding coastal and marine ecosystems. They empower organizations, businesses, and other entities to utilize carbon finance as a means to fund activities aimed at conserving and restoring these critical habitats.
Coastal and Tidal Blue Carbon: Mangroves, tidal salt marshes, and seagrass meadows possess a remarkable ability to capture and store more carbon per unit area than terrestrial forests. Additionally, they deliver crucial co-benefits, including protection against coastal storms, ensuring food security for coastal communities, and enhancing water quality. Recognizing their capacity to remove and sequester CO2 from the atmosphere, coastal environments emerge as globally significant carbon sinks, constituting an essential element in the fight against climate change.
Our innovative initiative is dedicated to advancing the preservation and responsible utilization of mangrove resources with a three-fold objective: combating climate change, safeguarding biodiversity, and improving the well-being of local communities. “The benefits could either be in cash or investment in community activities or development projects by the groups.
Through the implementation of climate-smart pasture management practices, pastoralists who are on boarded to our program get the opportunity to generate revenue by selling carbon credits.
