CCF has earned praise throughout the world for the CCF Bush Project. Dr. Laurie Marker received the:

• 2008 Intel Tech Environment Award from The Tech Museum
• 2010 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement from the University of Southern California for CCF’s Bushblok project.

Bushblok was also named a finalist for the

• St Andrew’s Prize
• BBC World Challenge

In 2012, as part of the Clinton Global Initiative, CCF committed to expand its Bushblok program and support the emerging biomass clean energy industry in Namibia. The use of nuisance thorn bush as biomass has interested many energy companies and CCF has provided bush samples to several potential ventures.
