Bboxx, a data-driven super platform that is dedicated to transforming lives and connecting consumers, has received Gold Standard certification for carbon credit programmes in multiple countries across sub-Saharan Africa

The certification – a voluntary carbon offset programme focused on progressing the UN SDGs – covers a range of clean energy solutions including solar home systems, PAYGO clean cooking solutions, and solar-powered water pumps. The programme covers the company’s operations in multiple African countries including Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria, Togo and the DRC.

Anthony Osijo, CEO of Bboxx, remarked, “Bboxx is leading the way in the delivering a range of clean energy solutions. It is our mission to accelerate clean energy access and adoption and, as well as products and services, the deployment of carbon credits will enable more capital to flow into this crucial part of the energy transition in Africa.

“This Gold Standard certification solidifies Bboxx's position as a leader in decentralised clean energy, showcasing the company's dedication to innovation, social impact, and environmental stewardship as well as meeting and surpassing the rapidly evolving expectations of our consumers.

“It’s our responsibility to commit to scalability and ensure we’re providing more people with access to innovative solutions which will build the resilience of communities on top of being a significant market opportunity.”

Bboxx’s clean cooking programme enables families to access safer cooking fuels while paying for only the energy they use. Investing in this carbon off-setting programme will create annual credits by replacing traditional cookstoves with efficient LPG stoves. According to Bboxx, the projects are expected to offset more than 20mn tons of carbon emissions, generating US$100mn worth of carbon credits.

Earlier this year, Bboxx reiterated its dedication to Africa by moving its headquarters from London to Kigali. Click here to find out more.
