Company Description
SNV is a not-for-profit international development organisation that makes a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty by helping them raise incomes and access basic services. We focus on three sectors and have a long-term, local presence in over 25 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Our team of more than 1,300 staff is the backbone of SNV. For more information: www.snv.orgSNV has been working in Viet Nam since 1995. Using market-based approaches, SNV is committed to reducing poverty by catalysing environmentally sustainable solutions for the poor in agri-food, renewable energy, water sectors.The three phased Project “Biogas Program for Animal Husbandry Sector of Viet Nam 2003-2020 (BP) was implemented by the Department of Livestock Production and managed by MARD, with technical assistance from SNV, and financial contribution through ODA from the Netherlands’ Government and other donors. Its overall objective was in line with the development situation of the country and Viet Nam's strategy on renewable energy development and climate change prevention and green growth. It contributed to improve the livelihood and quality of life of rural people in Viet Nam through exploiting the market and on-market benefits of the domestic biogas plants and sector by developing a market-based biogas sector. The main project intervention was to support the construction and installation of biogas plants at household level with high quality to ensure the effectiveness of biogas plant use of households.
The Third Phase (BP III 2016 - 2020) developed a strategy to phase out ODA support, phase in carbon financing, and explore incentive mechanisms (Results Based Financing) to support the development of biogas enterprises; empowering masons and bio-digester installers to become independent sellers. By end of 2020, the Biogas program contributed with 180,000 biodigesters. By developing a stronger involvement of the private sector in the biogas market, Viet Nam benefited from a more reliant and self-sustaining sector.To pursue the sustainability of the biogas sector, the Biogas Program was registered under the Gold Standard (GS) and has become an important contributor to the global carbon market, as its total credits account for 2.6% of the global credits issued. By the end of BP III in 2020, a total of 3.07 million GS VERs (Verified Emission Reductions) were issued for the BP, accounting for 75% of the total GS carbon credits issued in Viet Nam. Over the period 2016 – 2020, the VERs revenue streams contribution to the total BP budget grew from 10% in 2017 to 63% by the end of 2020. Carbon revenue, therefore, played a critical role in leveraging ODA and enabled the BP to become more self-reliant over time. However, the deployment of the carbon revenue has been contingent to the BP receiving ODA, thus SNV looked into new green financing modalities.
Considering the great achievement of three phase Biogas program, Shell International Eastern Trading Company (SIETCO) provided funding through SNV to continue supporting Viet Nam’s livestock sector in seeking biogas solution for small holders to provide clean and affordable energy to rural households, continue promoting the biogas market to create jobs for rural labour, contributing to rural development and environmental protection. The “Biodigesters Programme for a low-carbon livestock sector in Viet Nam (BioLive)” expected to contribute to GHG emissions reduction for livestock sector to combat the climate change. The project is governed and implemented by SNV over a 12-year period from 2022-2033. The BioLive project builds on the capacities and expertise of SNV after 18 years of experiences in the implementation of the Biogas Programme. Aiming to support the installation of 50,000 new biodigesters for smallholder farmers.To continue implementing the BioLive project, SNV is looking for two full time Biogas Advisor/Officer who will be in charge of trainings to biogas entrepreneurs (BE), biodigester installation verification, coordination with provincial departments and promotion of the biogas market with specific scopes of work and deliverables as well as tasks and responsibilities below:
