RefeRence PRojects:Ethanol cook-stove business development Client: Cleanstar Ventures.

Project Summary: GreenLight has provided the research and

development services necessary to launch an ethanol cook stove and

cooking fuel venture in Mozambique. Greenlight was involved in the

marketing and distributions strategy, product development, carbon

financing registration and management as well as ongoing monitoring

and evaluations activities

Sustainable Biomass Energy production Client: Solidaridad.

Project Summary: This project works with 2300 small-holder farmers

in Sofala and Manica provinces, supporting them to grow fast-grow-

ing tree species within their farm-lots. The farmers are organized in a

sustainable biomass association, which is to partner with a technology

supplier for the production of briquettes. These charcoal briquettes are

then sold as cooking fuel within nearby urban areas.

Sustainable model house in Nampula Client: NIRAS / Mozambique National Housing Fund (FFH).

Project Summary: The project aims to develop the first fully sustain-

able house within Mozambique. The house is to be built from local/

ecological material; be naturally ventilated; be energy efficient; pow-

ered by renewable energy sources; and demonstrate water efficiency.

This model house is to serve as an example for the building of 100 more

units by the state housing fund (FFH)

Mozambique energy use data collection and analysis

Client: Mozambique Ministry of Energy and the European Commission.

Project Summary: This large scale research project collected

energy use data across Mozambique. Within the major urban areas,

the household energy and institutional energy consumption was cal-

culated based on in-depth questionnaires. Biomass energy production

and supply was also studies based on field interviews and a compre-

hensive value chain analysis. This data was used in the elaboration of

Mozambique’s first biomass energy strategy.

Maputo Municipal market clean energy initiative Client: SNV and Maputo Municipality

Project Summary: GreenLight implemented the project development

of a joint initiative between SNV and the Municipality of Maputo to

introduce renewable and efficient energy sources to the local mar-

kets of the city. The initiative focused on energy efficient lighting, clean

cook-stoves for food vendors as well as improved biomass stoves.

RefeRence PRojects:Palma rural solar electrification feasibility study

Client: Anadarko and Worley Parsons.

Project Summary: Greenlight provided a thorough assessment of local

household energy use dynamics in the region of Palma- Cabo Delgado

province. The data was further utilized to forecast peak load energy

requirements of a community currently not connected to the grid. Two

models for solar electrification were presented as viable options :(1)

Autonomous home systems (2) Mini-grid system. Technical assistance

in the form of equipment requirements and installation procedures

were also provided.

Mozambique biofuels industry assessment

Client: Overseas Development Institute (ODI).

Project Summary: GreenLight was contracted by the Overseas

Development Institute to conduct an in-depth study on the Mozambican

biofuels development in 2011. The analysis included economic, social,

environmental and legislative components connected to the industry.

All biofuels projects within the country were analyzed.

Climate financing for sustainable charcoal production

Client: Government of Belgium and Energy Engineering Solutions.

Project Summary: The ultimate objective of the initiative is to

identify opportunities for the charcoal production sector in Mozam-

bique to benefit from climate financing, either through the Clean

Development Mechanism (CDM) or the Nationally Appropriate Mitiga-

tion Action (NAMA) framework. The project includes the development

of a feasibility study followed by a set of concrete practical actions.

Energy pellets from cotton waste in Cuamba

Client: JFS Holding

Project summary: Building on the large volumes of unused organic

waste generated by JFS-SAN’s cotton outgrowing scheme and oper-

ation, an opportunity was identified to capitalize on this, by using the

residues of the crop for energy production. GreenLight has developed

the feasibility study and business plan for the operation.

Meponda Village hydro electrification project

Client: Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC) and FUNAE

Project sumary: GreenLight partnered with Tractebel Engeneering for

the feasibility study and the technical development of a small-hydro

mini grid instalation project in Meponda village of Niassa province.

GreenLight analysed peak load requirments; electricity consumption

forecasts; local operational management stucture; the productive use

of energy; as well as the market willingness to pay by the community. .

Sanitation Value Chain Support in Beira

Client: Frisian Urban Sanitation Program (FUSP)

Project Summary: GreenLight in conjunction with the Beira Municipali-

ty carried out a detailed study accessing the sanitation needs in peri ur-

ban areas in the city of Beira. As a result GreenLight capacitated Small

and Medium Enterprises strengthening the sanitation value chain im-

proving sanitation, health and hygiene as well as increase access to

microfinance for sanitation products.
