Carbon & mitigation

Carbon products, GHG inventories and climate finance

ONACC produces greenhouse gas inventories, sectoral carbon balances and mitigation analyses to support public decision-making, NDC monitoring, carbon finance and the valuation of Cameroon’s carbon sinks.

-4,093,348.60 GgCO₂eq total sequestration potential estimated by ONACC for the AFOLU sector
2010–2022 period covered by the national AFOLU Carbon Balance

AFOLU + Energy strategic sectors for GHG inventories and mitigation
Key findings

Carbon data to guide mitigation and climate finance

ONACC findings help distinguish the main emitting sectors, strategic carbon sinks and levers for valuing national sequestration potential.

AFOLU recoverable potential — forest zones
-2,643,299.92 GgCO₂eq

The bimodal and monomodal forest zones absorb more than they emit, showing strong potential for carbon finance and mitigation outcomes.

Energy sector emissions
31,216.5 GgCO₂eq

Over 2010–2018, energy-sector emissions are dominated by transport, mainly road transport.

Transport
17,149.7 GgCO₂eq

Transport accounts for about 55% of energy-sector emissions over the period considered.

ONACC methodology

A technical chain to produce reliable inventories for public action

Carbon work relies on activity-data collection, recognized estimation methods, sectoral and territorial analysis, and the transformation of results into decision-support products.

Data collection and structuring

Mobilization of activity data from sectoral administrations, technical services, surveys, statistics and remote-sensing sources.

IPCC methods and emission estimation

Use of IPCC guidelines, emission factors and activity data to estimate greenhouse gas emissions and removals.

Sectoral and territorial analysis

Analysis of emitting sectors, carbon sinks, agro-ecological zones, temporal trends and mitigation levers.

Valuation and public decision-making

Production of carbon balances, technical opinions, monitoring reports and outputs for the NDC, carbon finance and climate planning.

Mitigation levers

Turning carbon findings into concrete action

GHG inventories and carbon balances provide technical foundations for mitigation policies, investments, carbon compensation and the monitoring of Cameroon’s climate commitments.

Carbon finance, national registry and carbon-sink valuation

Valuing Cameroon’s sequestration potential requires a robust framework: verifiable data, carbon registry, certification standards, offset rules and transparent transaction mechanisms.

  • Strengthening annual greenhouse gas inventories.
  • Monitoring emission reductions in development projects.
  • Establishing a national carbon registry.
  • Valuing forest and agro-ecological carbon sinks.
  • Supporting carbon finance mechanisms and carbon markets.
  • Operational monitoring of Cameroon’s NDC.
