Carbon avoidance through the nutritional replacement of beef by carbon neutral Icelandic Spirulina (blue-green algae) production
Please fill out the form to get in touch with the project developers.
Project Information
The purpose of the project activity is to produce an edible algal biomass i.e., Spirulina (blue-green algae), which serves as a carbon neutral alternative to Beef in terms of a nutritional parity. The carbon neutral Spirulina when served as an alternative/replacement to the carbon intensive Beef leads to GHG emissions avoidance that would have taken place to meet the equivalent nutritional requirements. The purpose of the validation report is to have an independent third party assess the PDD and the monitoring plan. The scope of the validation is defined as an independent and objective review of the PDD and monitoring plan.

Additionality
Level 1 additionality
Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.
Level 2a additionality
Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.
Level 3 additionality
Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project must implement actions that are subject to barriers of implementation or accelerate deployment of technology or activities and carbon market incentives are essential in overcoming these barriers.
