Gold Standard for Bio-energy for Circular Agriculture (BeCA)

Congratulations to our BPP partners working on bio-energy on commercial farms who have successfully secured Gold Standard certification for their Bio-energy for Circular Agriculture (BeCA) Programme of Activities.

It’s a unique carbon program that converts biogas from commercial livestock farms in Vietnam into electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Gold Standard sets the global standard for climate and sustainable development interventions to quantify, certify, and maximise their impact.

The certification is a major achievement for the partners, including E-GREEN, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, HD Bank, STD & T Engineering Services Co., Ltd, Chin Phat Co, and the Australian Government. The rigorous certification process ensures that the project meets the highest standards for carbon offsetting.

This is one of our Green Recovery partnerships, which began in August 2021 with the aim of promoting green recovery in Vietnam by scaling up sustainable electricity generation at large and medium-sized pig farms using state-of-the-art equipment. The partnership uses on-site biogas to generate energy, benefiting the climate and reducing costs for farmers.
