The Nairobi International Financial Centre (NIFC), the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), and the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) aim to launch a centralized carbon exchange in Kenya by the end of March 2027. This marketplace will allow organizations to trade carbon credits, which are certificates representing the right to emit greenhouse gases. To support this initiative, the National Treasury is currently drafting carbon credit regulations to establish a formal legal framework for trading. This development follows the establishment of the National Carbon Registry in February 2026, designed to track and authorize credits across various sectors. Major entities like KenGen and Sasini Plc are expected to benefit from this new infrastructure, leveraging renewable energy and sustainable technologies to generate revenue through carbon offsets. Kenya seeks to mirror Egypt's success in establishing a local marketplace for carbon credit trading.
