Zimbabwe Long-term Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategy (2020-2050).

The Zimbabwe Long-term Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategy (LEDS) (2020-2050) sets the course for reducing emissions, while at the same time ensuring sustainable economic development for the country. It is based on the government's economic planning up to 2050 and covers mitigation measures across the four key sectors of Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and other Land use (AFOLU) and Waste.
For the Energy Sector, table 3-2 provides a list of mitigation measures. The Measures are organized under categories, such as energy for manufacturing, residential, transport, and energy industry. The initiatives include: large hydropower to replace existing and/or planned fossil-fuel generation from grid; solar PV microgrids or sola PV utility to replace of generation and GHG emissions from coal plant, and other fossil generation; municipal biogas power projects; local bifuel production; etc. Table 4-2 provides a list of of mitigation measures for Zimbabwe LEDS in IPPU: among others Zimbabwe envisages measures aimed at abating emissions produced during nitric acid production (Fertiliser). Mitigations measures for AFOLU sector are: improved feedstock to reduce emissions from enteric fermentation; actions to creases SOC stock and manage maize production; reduce GHG emissions from machinery; policies to reduce deforestation and regulate tobacco; reduction of prescribed burning; fruit Tree planting; increase planting of commercial forests, etc. In the Waste sector the mitigation measures identified include LFG flaring and composting of solid waste
