In August 2021, A Rocha Ghana and partners opened a call for Climate-smart Green Business initiatives that build climate change resilience and achieve landscape restoration by reducing firewood and Charcoal production related deforestation and improve access to renewable biomass energy.

Training and consultations sessions have since been held for finalists of the MoMo4C Business Call. The participants were also privileged to go on an exchanged visit to Zaacoal Limited―a renewable energy company which produces clean, long burning and high heat charcoal from coconut waste.

A Rocha Ghana produced a video about their visit to Zaacoal Limited.
