As part of African Energy’s research into climate and energy transition finance, we want to hear your experience of the carbon and renewable credit markets. We are seeking to understand how much of the voluntary carbon market – estimated by the World Bank Group to be worth $1bn in 2022 – is from credits issued from African projects and the challenges buyers and sellers face.
