That national investment fund is getting a thumbs up for its green energy talk. Climate advocates backed the Mutapa Investment Fund after it outlined environmental goals in new financial reports. The fund plans to install solar power and cut carbon output from its office and investments, though it admits current grid and generator use still creates emissions.
Activist Never Gariromo praised the fund for taking responsibility. He highlighted biogas from urban waste as a ready opportunity, stating it could slash methane emissions and fuel public transport. Zimbabwe also possesses strong solar potential, with abundant daily radiation capable of generating over three hundred megawatts.
Economist Masimba Kuchera suggested that investee companies explore carbon credit markets for extra revenue. MIF CEO John Mangudya said strategic initiatives aim to unlock value in the energy, mining, and agriculture sectors. The fund will push its portfolio companies to reduce emissions and build climate resilience, tracking financed pollution as part of its development mandate.
