Kenya Sets 10 Million-Tonne Cap on Article 6 Carbon Credit Exports

Kenya has capped its Article 6 carbon credit exports at 10 million tonnes through 2030. Announced at the UN climate negotiations in Bonn, this policy establishes a national carbon trading budget to manage international transfers. It ensures Kenya retains enough emission reductions to meet its domestic climate targets (NDCs). Managed through the new Kenya National Carbon Registry, the cap positions mitigation outcomes as a strategic resource. This framework ensures high market integrity, though it may increase competition among project developers for export allocations.
