We have just reached an important milestone, not just for BasiGo, but for electric mobility in Africa.
Our electric bus project has achieved Gold Standard Certified project status, making it the first verified electric bus carbon project in Africa! We are proud to announce that we are contracting the sale of our first cohort of Gold Standard VERs (Verified Emission Reductions) to Climate Impact Partners , who work with clients committed to climate action and low-carbon transport solutions.
The global carbon market has undergone significant scrutiny over the past few years, yet the carbon market remains a critical tool in helping emerging markets accelerate their energy transition. With over 90% of Kenya's electricity coming from renewable sources, bus electrification in Kenya has greater impact on CO2 emissions than almost anywhere else in the world. Our electric bus project generates emissions reductions that are transparent, traceable, and verifiable by design, backed by on-board telematics that record every kilometer and kilowatt-hour in real time, making our reductions inherently high quality. Beyond CO2 emissions reduction, our electric bus project reduces air pollution, advances energy security, and helps keep transport costs affordable for the public in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
We thank Gold Standard for recognizing the impact of our project, and we thank Climate Impact Partners for being the first to contract VERs from a bus electrification project in Africa!
As we continue on the , our emissions impact will only continue to grow. We are proud to have set the pace, not just for BasiGo, but for bus electrification projects across the continent.
