Ja.Ca.Mbé Afforestation and Reforestation Project

Congo

Projects

The Ja.Ca.Mbé (Jardin Carbon de Mbè) Initiative is a transformative afforestation and reforestation project situated in Mbé, in the Republic of Congo. The visionary initiative will restore 40,000 hectares of degraded Savannah lands with the objective to create carbon sinks which will then be generated into carbon credits to be sold on the voluntary market. Beyond the project’s ecological goals, lies a deep commitment to the local community of the region, as we work across the development of key projects in health, education and infrastructure, to support and uplift the people at the heart of Mbé.

40K

hectares of degraded land will be reforested

million carbon credits will be produced during the lifespan of the project

600

local people will be directly hired to work on the project, plus hundreds more indirectly

million trees to be planted

FOCUS

Fighting climate change

In detail

Ja.Ca.Mbé, operated by Renco's Congolese subsidiary, Renco Green SARLU, holds a 30-year concession from the Congolese Government to manage 40,000 hectares of land in Plateau Batéké. Part of the ProNAR program by the Ministry of Forestry Affairs of the Republic of Congo, Ja.Ca.Mbé focuses on afforestation of degraded savannah lands and preserving and reforesting existing forest patches. Renco Green SARLU will also address social, environmental, and economic aspects of the concession, committed to sustainable development.

' Ja.Ca.Mbé is unlike not other project undertaken by companies in our sector. As our industry actively seeks ways to support energy transition, we need to understand what innovative approaches we are can apply to navigate this change. Reforestation and afforestation projects serve as critical approaches in this endeavour, offering tangible solutions to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development '

Ja.Ca.Mbé: Create Carbon Sinks for CO2 Absorption and Carbon Credits

A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT

For Renco, Ja.Ca.Mbé represents one of the most significant projects in our company’s history.

Over the years, we've actively sought tangible and innovative methods to support the energy transition. Reforestation and afforestation projects stand out as one of the few ways carbon credits can be produced, offering companies a way in which to offset their emissions. The restoration of degraded lands presents an opportunity to support our global ecology in the fight against climate change. This project today underpins our efforts in environmental, social, and economic sustainability, serving as the cornerstone and heart of our sustainability strategy. As we look forward to the future of Renco, our commitment to Ja.Ca.Mbé aligns seamlessly with our vision for a greener, more sustainable world.
