Six paths to credit-eligible energy

Pick the technology that matches your site, capital, and operator capacity. Each has clear MRV requirements.

Solar PV Mini-Grids & Rooftop

Solar PV Mini-Grids & Rooftop

0.4–0.7 t CO₂/kWp/yr

Off-grid or rooftop solar that displaces diesel generators or extends electricity to previously unserved communities. Strongest credit yield in African markets.

  1. 1Conduct site solar irradiation survey
  2. 2Size system to match displaced grid/diesel load
  3. 3Install with IoT energy meter on inverter
  4. 4Submit monthly kWh + emission-factor data
Biogas Digesters

Biogas Digesters

1.5–3.5 t CO₂/m³/yr

Anaerobic digesters that turn livestock manure and food waste into cooking gas while capturing methane that would otherwise escape. Doubles as a manure-management win.

  1. 1Install fixed-dome or balloon digester (4–20 m³)
  2. 2Connect to household kitchen stove
  3. 3Add IoT flow meter on the gas line
  4. 4Maintain feed-input log and quarterly servicing
Improved Cookstoves

Improved Cookstoves

1.5–3 t CO₂/household/yr

Distribute ICS units that cut wood fuel use by 40–60% versus three-stone fires. Highest household-scale carbon ROI on the continent.

  1. 1Procure or manufacture certified ICS units
  2. 2Distribute via cooperatives or village agents
  3. 3Sample-monitor with fuel sensors on 5–10% of stoves
  4. 4Submit kitchen-performance testing report annually
Biocharcoal Production

Biocharcoal Production

2.5–3.5 t CO₂/t produced

Industrial pyrolysis of agricultural waste into clean charcoal — displaces unsustainable wood charcoal while sequestering carbon as recalcitrant char.

  1. 1Source agricultural residues (rice husk, coconut shell, sawdust)
  2. 2Operate a low-emission TLUD kiln
  3. 3Track feedstock + output mass with IoT sensors
  4. 4Independent lab analysis of fixed-carbon content
Micro-Hydro

Micro-Hydro

0.45 t CO₂/MWh

Run-of-river turbines (5–500 kW) that displace diesel mini-grids in remote communities. Year-round generation in highland and coastal areas with stable rainfall.

  1. 1Survey head and flow over a full wet/dry cycle
  2. 2Design penstock, turbine and weir
  3. 3Install with IoT energy meter on inverter output
  4. 4Submit monthly kWh + uptime report
Small Wind

Small Wind

0.45 t CO₂/MWh

1–50 kW turbines for coastal, highland and Sahel sites with average wind speeds above 5 m/s. Best paired with solar for diurnal coverage.

  1. 1Install wind mast for 6-12 months pre-build
  2. 2Pick turbine type to match wind class
  3. 3Install with IoT energy meter + wind anemometer
  4. 4Submit monthly kWh + wind speed records
