We mostly work with medium-size organisations in the private, public and third sectors, as well as large international organisations.
We help climate change mitigation projects to certify so they can partially or fully be financed by the sale of assets on the carbon markets. We also carry out early stage feasibility studies, support the implementation of activities and monitor projects’ ongoing impacts. We support energy access and nature-based solutions projects.
Here is how we can help you:
Preliminary and preparatory project work:
- Identification of project areas and conceptualization
- Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies of existing project concepts: selecting appropriate carbon accounting and monitoring methodology, relevance of co-benefit certification, overlap with pre-existing activities, fit with national regulations
- Standard-required preliminary studies and activities: obtaining local populations consent, consultations, biodiversity and carbon baseline study(s)
“We’ve found HAMERKOP to be a reliable, supportive and invaluable partner in the development of our project!”
Project design and certification
- Project design: areas to be prioritised, theory of change, expected impacts, relevance of the activities, capacity of local partners
- Drafting project documents: project design documents and non-permanence risk reports
- Support for audits and certification
“HAMERKOP’s know-how in what concerns climate change and all related protocols and projects, greenhouse gas inventory exercises as well as the carbon market is beyond impeccable.”
Project implementation and monitoring plan
- Continuous support for project implementation and best practices application
- Coordination of monitoring activities: training, implementation of procedures, quality control, monitoring reports
- We support energy access projects, forestry activities (restoration, reforestation, conservation)
“We have worked with HAMERKOP to create and test in Indonesia and Madagascar a new carbon methodology dedicated to NGOs reforestation projects. It has been an efficient collaboration, HAMERKOP bringing a real expertise in carbon measurement in international forestry contexts.”
Case Studies
Improving Gas Access for Cooking in Togo
We assist Entrepreneurs du Monde (EdM), a French NGO with the implementation and certification process of an energy access project in Togo. The aim of the project is to develop access to Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) for fuel-poor populations dependent on firewood and charcoal. We have enabled Mivo Energie, the energy access programme created by EdM in Togo, to get their programme certify and issue its first batch of carbon credits under the Gold Standard.
REDD+ Project Development in Zambia
We performed long-term feasibility studies, carbon asset development for the projects, and are coordinating the Free Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) process, carbon modelling and drafting of carbon project documentation.
