SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization.

Our global team of local and international advisors work with local partners to equip communities, businesses and organizations with the tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own development.

Energy projects

BeCA For the period September 2021 – September 2024, SNV will implement the Bio-energy for Circular Agriculture (BeCA) project funded by DFAT under its Business Partnership Programme (BPP). The project aims to promote green and sustainable livestock production by converting biogas on commercial livestock farms into clean electricity, producing organic fertilizer and stimulating green investment in the livestock sector through carbon financing. BeCA will also contribute to Vietnam’s National Determined Contribution (NDC) by reducing GHG emissions in the growing livestock sector and by decreasing the national electrical grid dependence on coal-fired generators. SNV will bring to the BeCA its experience in promoting a green and productive livestock sector in Vietnam. SNV will play the role of a technical support unit in this partnership. SNV will work with EGreen to ensure technical and entrepreneurial capacities, attention to social inclusion and gender, and the technical requirements for BeCA. Furthermore, SNV will provide support to DFAT to verify the new biogas genset installation to confirm the RBF payment and monitor progress.

BioLive Starting in April 2022, SNV will implement the project “Biodigesters for a low-carbon Livestock sector” (BioLive). The project aims to support the installation of 50,000 household biodigesters for smallholder livestock farmers in over 20 selected provinces in Vietnam. Doing so, the project provides clean and affordable energy to rural households, contributing to rural development and environmental protection, creating jobs for rural labour and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to combat the climate change. The Project aims to strengthen the market through knowledge transfer, quality control and a Result Based Finance incentive. BioLive is a Public – Private Partnership between Biodigester Enterprises, Provincial Authorities and SNV and builds on the capacities and expertise of SNV after 18 years of experiences in the implementation of the Biogas Programme.
