The Kyoto Protocol 

Emission trading of Green House Gases (GHG’s) is included in the UNFCCC’s Kyoto Protocol as a means to dramatically reduce the cost of compliance. It allows nations to fulfill part of their emissions reduction obligations by purchasing reductions from other nations.

Emitters have the choice of making the reductions themselves or purchasing reductions from countries or companies in a position to reduce the same quantity of emissions at lower cost.

Emission trading provides a financial incentive for reduction of GHG’s below required levels. Through emissions trading, a market price emerges which reflects the cost of pollution reduction. Each participant can then decide whether it is cheaper to reduce emissions or to purchase permits or credits.

Enviro Africa Limited is an African company focused on emissions reductions and trading emissions reductions credits for Sub Saharan Africa.

We are a wholly African company with international CDM project development experts and development partners.

Enviro Africa identifies and develops Emission reduction projects in all industry sectors. Projects are targeted at reducing the gases listed in the Kyoto Protocol’s Annex A:

  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
  • Methane (CH4)
  • Nitrous Oxide (N20)
  • Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC’s)
  • Perfluorocarbons (PFC’s) and
  • Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
If you work in an industry that produces these gases please contact us

As part of international legislation and incentives to promote emissions reductions in developing nations there are no restrictions imposed on African countries to reduce emissions. Instead, there is potential additional income to be gained for doing so.

Enviro Africa accesses this additional income for the African project developer by generating and trading emission reduction credits

We identify projects that have the potential to reduce emissions. We will ensure compliance with all necessary formalities and regulations to register the project with regulatory bodies such as the UNFCCC Executive Board to generate emissions reductions credits.

Sustainable economic and infrastructural development in Africa is one of our primary concerns.
