Turning Waste Into Energy

01

Project Submission and Review

Meet Amina, a small entrepreneur in Kenya with an innovative biogas project idea that could transform her community’s access to clean energy. She discovers Carbon90’s platform and submits her project through the “I Have a Project” form, providing details about her vision to create a biogas system for local households. Carbon90’s experienced team carefully reviews her submission, evaluating its potential for environmental impact and feasibility, before officially listing it on their platform where it becomes visible to potential partners and investors.

Strategic Partnership Formation

Within weeks of being listed, Amina’s project catches the attention of a renewable energy developer who is actively browsing Carbon90’s platform for promising opportunities. The developer recognizes the potential of her biogas initiative and reaches out to offer valuable technical expertise that could significantly improve the project’s design and implementation strategy. Simultaneously, a climate-focused funder discovers the project and expresses strong interest in providing financial support, recognizing its potential for both environmental impact and community benefit.

Project Launch and Impact

Carbon90 plays a crucial role in facilitating the introduction between Amina, the renewable energy developer, and the climate funder, ensuring all parties can collaborate effectively. The funder commits $25,000 in seed capital, while the developer provides the technical guidance needed to optimize the biogas system design. With both funding and development support secured, Amina is now fully equipped to launch her biogas project, which will reduce harmful methane emissions while providing clean cooking energy for 200 households in her community, creating lasting environmental and social impact.
Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

A carbon project is any activity that reduces or removes greenhouse gas emissions, like renewable energy, clean cooking, waste-to-energy, or biogas systems. These projects can generate carbon credits, which are tradable units that represent avoided or removed emissions.

No. You don’t need to be an expert. Our role is to simplify the process, explain what’s needed, and connect you with the right developers and partners who can help structure and scale your project.

We look at factors like the type of project, the scale, and whether it’s already operating. If your project reduces emissions in a measurable way and meets minimum scale requirements, there’s a good chance it can qualify. If it’s not ready yet, we can guide you on next steps.

No. We work with projects of different sizes, as long as they have already started activities and are making a real impact.

We support existing projects in renewable energy, agroforestry, waste-to-value, biogas, regenerative farming, and conservation.

Yes, but there is a minimum scale needed for carbon projects to make financial sense. We work with projects that have already started activities and are operating at a level where they can realistically meet carbon market requirements. If a project is below that threshold, we guide them on how to grow or explore options like joining a grouped project until they are ready.

We make it easier for projects to connect with developers, investors, and carbon markets, while also providing the training and systems they need to succeed in the long term.

You stay focused on running your project. The developer handles the technical carbon aspects. You provide data, cooperate during monitoring, and continue implementing the activity.
