ABOUT ACD

The ultimate carbon managing entity for African land

We design and run natural resource management programmes and sustainable living initiatives using locally available resources.

ACD advises on climate change across agriculture, transport, forestry, industry, waste and green energy, from CDM and REDD+ to NAMA and NAPA, in line with Kenya’s Climate Change Act, NDC and National Adaptation Plan.

  • Programmes of Activities with costed work plans
  • Measured avoided and removed emissions
  • Direct income for farmers through carbon credits

OUR SERVICES

Comprehensive solutions for a sustainable future

Carbon Management & Climate Advisory

We take organisations from first idea to a structured, bankable carbon programme. Our advisory covers CDM, REDD+, NAMA and NAPA initiation and implementation, written as Programmes of Activities (PoA) with detailed methodology, justification, timelines and itemised cost quotations.

Climate-Smart Agriculture

Using Biodeposit Agro and Elixir organic fertilizers we restore soil life, hold moisture and raise yields on maize, coffee, bananas, wheat, vegetables and more, while avoiding the nitrous oxide released by chemical fertilizers.

Renewable Energy & Green Enterprise

Solar energy harvesting brings clean power to rural areas to run cottage industries, so farm produce can be processed, packaged and sold at higher value close to where it is grown.

Methane Capture & Waste Management

Livestock and waste streams are a major source of methane. We guide biogas and methane-capture programmes that deliver cooking fuel and cogeneration, and register the reductions as a carbon Programme of Activities.

Natural Resource Management

Sustainable Living Initiatives (SLI) built on locally available resources: water harvesting, soil and water conservation, agroforestry and forest protection that keep land productive for future generations.

Value Addition & Agribusiness

Climate-smart production creates surplus. We help farmer groups move from raw produce into grading, processing and market-linked supply, including specialty organic coffee that can attract premiums in global markets.

BIODEPOSIT ORGANIC FERTILIZERS

Fresh-water lake energy, returned to the soil

Made from sapropel and peat, Biodeposit holds humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, vitamins and beneficial bacteria. The Agro series conditions and revives soil; the Elixir series promotes growth.

  • Holds moisture, up to five times in reported trials
  • Neutralises pesticide and chemical fertilizer residues
  • Reduces nematodes, erosion and salinity
  • Raises soil carbon and fertility

HOW A CARBON PROGRAMME WORKS

From the farm gate to verified credits

Assess

Map farms, crops and baseline emissions.

Design

Prepare the PoA, methodology and costed work plan.

Implement

Supply inputs, training and field officer support.

Measure

Track avoided N₂O and soil carbon with monitoring tools.

Verify & sell

Issue carbon credits to buyers.

Share

Pay farmers per acre and reinvest in the community.
