Green Giant Venture Fund


Green Giant Venture Fund develops and implements greenhouse gas reduction projects, for the purpose of generating Carbon Credits to be sold as a means of secondary revenue by either making a market or listing on the European Climate Exchange. We facilitate this in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol and UNFCCC under voluntary and emerging regulatory programs.

As a project developer Green Giant Venture Fund works with clients to structure, finance, build, and operate emission reduction projects. We provide Capital assistance through our exclusive Carbon Finance option (FSCCP) . We facilitate the approval process: including CDM methodology and development, JI host country approval, Carbon Credit Project Certification ,Carbon Credits and CER's.

Our focus is Afforestation , Reforestation , and Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD)/ Forestry Preservation projects in Brazil , Australia and Africa. In North America and Canada we are reviewing feasibility studies for the following processes and technologies: Algae-Bio fuel-protein , Biomedical waste-fertilizer , waste-alternative Bio fuel catalyst. As a private equity fund (GGVF) invests in Carbon Credit eligible companies , processes and technologies throughout the world.

Activity 1
SL-1:Aforestation project of 42,500 acres in Sierra Leone
Aforestation as Renewable source of Wood for Industrial use: The objective of the project activity is the Aforestation of 42,500 acres of Kiri Tree: Japanese Empress Tree, Paulownia located on degraded lands in the ecological zone of Sudan Savannah. The project looks forward to recover degraded land, and develop sustainable economic activities, as (4-7 year) pulp, paper, (8 year) lightweight hardwood lumber, clean coal production, Biofuel production, wood harvesting and improving the community’s standard of living. The project will benefice more than 10 villages and 3500 people in annexes of this community and is conceived using easy-to-replicate technologies and promoting the intensive use of local labor, assuring that the biggest part of the benefits will remain in the community. The project will reduces the risk of negative impacts on biodiversity and increasing the success possibilities of the proposed project activity. Proposed project activities:The establishment of plantations as a renewable source of wood supplies for energy to meet the industrial needs is expected to result in twofold benefits: (i) generation of carbon stocks and of GHG removals by sinks additional to those that would occur in the absence of such plantations, and (ii) substitution of sustainable sources of biomass in place of fossil fuels and non-renewable biomass, which contribute to GHG emissions in Africa.

Activity 2
Angra: 3 (REDD) Pilot Project
Voss 245 hectare reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation project. The first (REDD) pilot project in the city of Angra certified by UNESCO as a Biosphere . This region is protected by the local government as a reserve. The additionality of the REDD project will create double protection for this part of the Matatlantica rain forest. This property will also contain a Green House (Estufa) that will provide native Matatlanitc species to previously degraded areas in Angra,Parati, and Mangaratiba.

Activity 3
SL-2 :Aforestation project of 70,000 hectares in Guinea Africa
Aforestation project of 70,000 hectares in Guinea Africa Aforestation as Renewable source of Wood for Industrial use: The objective of the project activity is the Aforestation of 70,000 acres of Kiri Tree: Japanese Empress Tree, Paulownia located on degraded lands in the ecological zone of Guinea Savannah. Kiri plantations are established in an area of 70,000 hectares. The land use under the plantations is expected to cover a 50 years period, with the first harvest taking place after 3-4 years, followed by two successive periods of 7-years rotations through coppicing. Taking into account the annual planting over the first 7-year period starting from 2010, the project will have duration of approximately 50 years (2010-2060). The project adopts a single 50-year crediting period and uses the tCER approach to account for the net anthropogenic GHG removals by sinks from the project.


Activity 4
Angra 1:Reforestation with native species of the Atlantic Rainforest
Reforestation with native species of the Atlantic Rainforest Various areas totaling 90,000 hectares of the Atlantic Rainforest that has been occupied by agriculture or other degrading activities. To restore the previous condition that most closely matches the original landscape. In this sense make use of the techniques and management systems that can fit the recovery, especially since they offer Atlantic Forest area and potential sequestration and accumulation of carbon.

Activity 5
Angra 2:REFORESTATION PROJECT AND RECOVERY OF DEGRADED AREA IN ANGRA
REFORESTATION PROJECT AND RECOVERY OF DEGRADED AREA IN ANGRA The area chosen to be awarded the reforestation project is the hill of Alto da Ribeira, which has been awarded the Green Belt project of the Municipal Environment. The Green Belt project was an initiative to help stem the growth of the slopes of the city, where one is built around fences with barbed wire, which marks the beginning of a conservation area. Today the area is highly degraded, its surface horizon was completely lost in the erosion that occurred on site. It was also observed in field surveys of the practice of burning is likely to burn garbage that may be played on site, a further indication of soil acidity. 1 - Completion of a reforestation project for the DAR and Environmental Education and its approval by the board of Environment of the City; 2 - Payment of ART-Technical Responsibility Certificate; 3 - Purchase and supply of inputs for soil preparation and planting; 4 - Recruitment of team work; 5 - Monitoring and technical supervision of services of project implementation; 6 - Preparation of detailed technical report at the end of the services provided for the accountability of the contractor's services to the MP and other agencies have concluded the TAC. Will be reflected in the proposed project activity and maintenance of the planting area.


Activity 6
A.P.M Master Project
Reforestation and Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) Forestry Preservation project in the state of Rio de Janiero, Brazil This Master project consists of a total land area over 378,000 hectares. Green Giant Venture Fund currently retains exclusive rights to develop this project from the local Secretary of Agriculture. The project will be approved by IBAMA (www.ibama.gov.br) in the final stages prior to UNFCCC submission. Currently there are 8 individual projects underdevelopment with a total of 23 projects planned in total. The focus of this project is to improve social and economic development in the regions by using native species that have fast growth, and high biomass production.
