Co-Create Premium CarbonCredits with Green Africa

We offer the unique opportunity to co-create carbon offset projects that align with the specific business objectives of a company or public entity. In close collaboration with the end user of VCCs we develop tailor-made solutions that not only mitigate carbon footprint but also align with brand values and industry-specific requirements.

The market for voluntary carbon credits is still small — it was worth $2bn in 2021 — but is starting to attract large financial institutions.

Financial Times dec 2022

More and more companies are pledging to help stop climate change by reducing their own greenhouse-gas emissions as much as they can. Yet many businesses find they cannot fully eliminate their emissions, or even lessen them as quickly as they might like. The challenge is especially tough for organizations that aim to achieve net-zero emissions, which means removing as much greenhouse gas from the air as they put into it. For many, it will be necessary to use carbon credits to offset emissions they can’t get rid of by other means. The Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets (TSVCM), sponsored by the Institute of International Finance (IIF) with knowledge support from McKinsey, estimates that demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 15 or more by 2030 and by a factor of up to 100 by 2050. Overall, the market for carbon credits could be worth upward of $50 billion in 2030.
