Kenya Sets Carbon Credit Limit On Exports, Expert Wary Of Guidelines

Kenya has capped carbon-credit exports at 10 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent through 2030, equivalent to 1.67 million tonnes annually, to prevent overselling Article 6 credits and protect progress toward its own NDC. The framework will revise the three-stage No-Objection, Approval and Authorization process and initially prioritize renewable energy, transport and waste projects. Forest and other land-use activities remain excluded until stronger baselines and monitoring systems are established. While the government says the policy will improve predictability and attract investment, industry experts are seeking clearer rules on eligible projects, voluntary versus compliance-market allocation, quota distribution and government authorizations. Past delays in issuing authorization letters have reportedly created serious financial risks for project developers.
