Eni, formerly the Italian state oil company, is undertaking a new multi-billion dollar investment in Congo in developing tar sands, oil palm for food and bio-diesel and gas-fuelled electricity. Eni’s investments in tar sands and oil palm are inherently high-risk. In other parts of the world, such investments have been heavily criticized for causing social and environmental damage, both locally and globally. The actual study gives background information about the investment.

The Coordinating Impact Capital report by the Center for Science, Technology, and Society encompasses over 10 months of surveys and analysis with more than 45 investment organizations currently working in the field of impact investing. The intent of this project was to unearth actionable suggestions for the social impact community, and identify market mechanisms that can increase the efficiency of invested capital, resulting in greater liquidity opportunities for investors. The project was generously supported by the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs. The lead authors and guest experts will discuss the landscape of impact investing and a foundation for vetting future social impact investment opportunities.
This workshop examines conceptual frameworks and practical strategies for scaling social ventures based on a decade of work in the GSBI. It addresses four key analytical tools--market imperfections, disruptive innovation design, scalable business models, and investment readiness with examples from the GSBI.
All of the presentations from the webinar on "Enhancing investment in soil health and carbon storage: Frontiers for linking finance and carbon accounting" held on 10 September 2020.

Thank you all of our Speakers for your excellent presentation on Global Webinar on Biofuel & Biomass, August 26-27,2021 - you managed to delivering your excellent talk in an upbeat and professional manner.
I appreciate the insight.
Hope we meet further in our upcoming event on January 24-25,2022
Progressive companies around the world are developing products and services that will revolutionise industries and deliver transformative change for society and our planet. These solutions are driving new business growth while significantly reducing emissions towards a low-carbon, sustainable future for all.
Accelerating and scaling up implementation across sectors and borders, however, will require a higher level of collaboration than we have ever seen before, between business, government, and NGOs. The Business for the Environment (B4E) COP17 Dialogue aims to facilitate this, bringing stakeholders together to forge new partnerships and take real action on climate change. Leading the way and powering ahead for a clean industrial revolution.
This lecture identifies three functional mechanism or means of developing successful base of the pyramid business models--value creation, cost reduction, and market penetration. Successful ventures simultaneously utilize all three of these mechanisms in localizing technology, establishing a business model, and interfacing with local ecosystems. An emphasis on value creation through stakeholder engagement and collective agency are differentiating characteristics of efforts to serve unmet needs.

Africa Biofuel and Emission Reduction - GSBI™ Class of 2010
Problem Statement:
Tanzania’s government spends 35 - 40% of its foreign reserves
to import fossil diesel fuel for transportation and power genera-
Headquarters: Dar es Salaam, tion. Biofuels offer potential as a replacement for diesel, but
Tanzania have to be commercially viable in the Tanzanian environment.
Established: 2006 Research by Dr. Lenard Milich, one of our founders, has demon-
strated that the croton nut, when husked, crushed and filtered
Impact Areas: Tanzania, Kenya into pure plant oil and can be used in diesel generators.
Type: For Profit
Sectors: Clean Tech & Energy
Staff Size: 8 and 4 volunteers
Annual Budget: $250,000
Major Funders: Eupborbus, The
Wilma Group
Awards: World Bank Development
Marketplace grant for $200,000 in
2008
Theory of Change:
By producing biofuel locally, the
community earns extra income and
Tanzania retains its foreign reserve
which drives economic development.
Solution:
We are building a profitable African biofuel business based on
the indigenous Croton Nut tree by planting 12 million trees on
under-utilized land and turning the seeds into pure plant oil,
which will replace more than 10% of the current Tanzanian
diesel imports at a competitive price. In doing so, we will create
a green fuel for a power hungry mining industry with an envi-
ronmental public relations problem as well as creating more than
1,000 rural jobs and reducing CO2 emissions.
“Green fuel” for growth
“By 2020, Africa Biofuel will create employment opportunities for 1,000 permanent and
10,000 seasonal workers, as well as reducing CO2 emissions.” - Bright Naiman, Chief Engi-
