Carbon trading, also called carbon emissions trading, is a market-based approach that places a value on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) and traded as a commodity.
Through trading, companies, institutions, and individuals can offset unavoidable emissions, fund climate-positive projects, and accelerate Africa's transition to clean energy and sustainable development.
CCN Africa leverages this mechanism to channel climate finance directly into communities—supporting cleaner cooking, renewable energy, waste-to-value, and low-carbon technologies. Read more
A carbon offset is the verified reduction of 1 tCO₂e achieved by a project. Offsets may result from:
Offsets are issued only when reductions are monitored, reported, and verified (MRV) using global standards. CCN Africa works with partners to package these reductions into high-quality carbon credits that can be traded on compliance and voluntary markets.
A Carbon Credit is a tradable permit equal to 1 tCO₂e. By generating and selling credits, African clean energy projects can access new streams of revenue, ensuring long-term sustainability.
There are two key markets:
CCN Africa bridges both markets, ensuring that community-level clean energy adoption in Africa can unlock global climate finance.
