The Kabon Carbon Standard

A boutique African carbon registry.

Every credit on Kabon.Africa is issued under a published methodology, backed by a permanence buffer pool, and backed by a government-compliant fiat settlement layer. Built for African projects that are too small, too local, or too time-pressed for years-long international registry processes.

Six steps from project submission to retired offset.

How a credit is issued

  1. 1
    Project submitted under a methodology

    A landowner registers their project and picks a published Kabon Carbon Standard methodology (listed below). The methodology dictates the buffer reserve, monitoring cadence, and the kinds of evidence we require.

  2. 2
    Admin review

    The Kabon team reviews the submission for completeness, legitimacy, and methodology fit. Communication happens through the project's private comment thread. Documents are stored on IPFS for an immutable trail.

  3. 3
    Carbon assessment

    Kabon's own Earth Observation pipeline processes Sentinel-2 satellite imagery into an NDVI time series for the parcel, alongside IoT ground-sensor readings where deployed. An assigned reviewer assesses that evidence against the chosen methodology — baseline, project emissions, net tonnes — and the number stamps onto a Verification record.

  4. 4
    Issuance + buffer split

    Credits are issued and recorded in the Kabon registry. The methodology's buffer percentage is automatically diverted to the platform-wide Buffer Pool. Only the remainder is tradeable.

  5. 5
    Trade & retirement

    Approved buyers purchase credits via bank transfer. Retired credits are permanently marked non-transferable and receive a printable retirement certificate with QR-verified provenance.

  6. 6
    Ongoing monitoring

    Per the methodology, projects re-submit monitoring evidence on a fixed cadence. Reversal events (fire, conversion) trigger pool drawdown, where pool credits are retired to backfill so buyer offsets stay whole.

What we are, and what we aren't

Verification is performed by a Kabon-assigned reviewer or a client-nominated third party. The satellite and IoT evidence that reviewer works from is generated by our own EO/MRV pipeline — see how the measurement pipeline works.

The buffer pool is platform-administered. We publish its live balance on this page so you can verify our permanence reserve at any time.

Every credit, traceable.

Each retirement certificate carries the methodology code, project ID, and a unique registry reference. Audit any credit from the certificate's QR.
