CarbonSolve Receives BeZero Carbon Rating for Kajiado Rangelands Carbon Project
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 COâ‚‚e 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.
Partnering With Pastoralists for a Sustainable Future
Pastoralists play a vital role in managing and restoring their lands. Our approach reinforces traditional pastoral practices, ensuring that grazing remains a sustainable, resilient and hopefully primary livelihood. By collaborating with Soils for the Future Africa, and Soils for the Future Tanzania, pastoral communities increase soil carbon, which is converted into carbon credits, providing long-term financial support for cultural and ecological sustainability. ​
Protecting Ancestral Rangelands
Our soil carbon projects safeguard traditional pastoral practices. The Maasai have long managed communal lands through seasonal grazing; moving between wet and dry season ranges. Using a rotational grazing approach enhances, not restricts, this system. This method promotes livestock to be more mobile within these grazing areas, and purposefully supports historic livestock movement among grazing areas. There is ample scientific evidence that this rapid rotational grazing system works in East Africa to increase soil carbon and resilience to climate change.
