Background |
| Promoting Access to Carbon Equity (PACE) Centre is a South African based non-profit organisation. PACE’s focus is on the development of high quality Clean Development Mechanism and the Voluntary Carbon Trading projects in Southern Africa.
|
PACE activity is based upon support for Credible CarbonTM activities, that is carbon-saving initiatives that are sustainable and have local development benefits. The “Credible Carbon” TM approach ensures that CDM and carbon off-set projects in Southern Africa:
|
- Adhere to the principles of the “Gold Standard”, thereby ensuring a verifiable contribution to greenhouse gas mitigation,
- Produce a locally relevant development impact,
- Provide investors with a favourable project development environment,
- Deliver quantifiable poverty alleviation benefits.

PACE achieves this by:
- Providing an online link between investment in greenhouse gas abatement with credible renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Southern Africa.
- Ensuring that investment in greenhouse gas abatement projects in Southern Africa contributes to locally relevant development, including energy efficient low-cost housing, provision of clean energy in rural areas, low-emission inner-city transport solutions and indigenous forest rehabilitation.
- Providing innovative and tailored advice to viable renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
- Wherever possible, supporting local enterprises involved in greenhouse gas mitigation.
