CarbonSolve is proud to announce that our Kajiado Rangelands Carbon Project in Kenya has been assigned a BeZero Carbon ex ante Rating of “A.pre”. A BeZero Carbon ex ante Rating (referred to as the ‘ex ante rating’) represents BeZero Carbon’s opinion on the likelihood of the carbon credit achieving a tonne of CO₂e avoided or removed. It is an opinion on the greenhouse gas efficacy of an ex ante credit.  An “ex ante” rating technically means “before the event” – before a project generates and sells carbon credits (also shown by the “.pre” label). Once a project sells carbon credits, it would be called “ex post” or “after the event.”

An A.pre rating represents BeZero Carbon’s view of a high likelihood that credits issued by the project will achieve what they predict: that each credit will represent one tonne of CO2e avoided or removed. The rating is driven by the project’s very high additionality, moderate permanence, and high confidence in carbon accounting accuracy.

The rating places the Kajiado Rangelands Carbon Project in the highest 25% of BeZero-rated Soil Carbon and Agriculture projects, comparable to top-performing BeZero ex post ratings within the same sector.  Read more here.
