Electric Mobility Program Kenya VCS

Accelerating e-mobility in Kenya through carbon credits 

The Electric Mobility Program Kenya is proposed for registration under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). The program is a Grouped Project with multiple Project Activity Instances (PAIs).

Zeroca is the Project Proponent with overall control and responsibility for the project. The Project includes multiple PAIs of individual Project Participants who control and operate project activities and will have a contract with Zeroca.

The program will accelerate the transition to e-mobility through the participation of various key actors linked to the transportation sectors (owners, suppliers or manufacturers of the technology, investors, operators, leasing companies, among others). It includes only battery – electric vehicles. Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fuel-cell electric vehicles are not included.

 The program will promote e-mobility through the expansion of charging infrastructure for light-duty vehicles and the acceleration of the transition to electric vehicles of the following categories:

• Motorcycles and 3-wheeled vehicles (tricycles);

• Passenger cars, including taxis and ride-hailing vehicles;

• Pick-ups;

• Light commercial vehicles, including vans and minibus taxis;

• Urban and intercity buses for passenger transportation;

• Heavy vehicles and trucks; and
• Mobile machinery and equipment

The program is expected to have coverage throughout the country, to support the widespread use of low-emission transportation, which in addition to contributing to the mitigation of climate change, will also have benefits for peoples’ health and quality of life by reducing air and noise pollution.

We are currently advancing through registration and validation in the VCS standard. You can contact us at kenya@zeroca.world to present your questions or concerns.

Electric Mobility Program Kenya VCS

Accelerating e-mobility in Kenya through ITMOs

On May 2, 2025, Kenya signed a bilateral climate agreement with Switzerland under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

This agreement has created a carbon financing opportunity for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Kenya, including those in e-mobility.

Within the framework of this agreement, Zeroca is preparing an aggregated program that will accelerate the transition to e-mobility in Kenya. It will achieve this through unlocking carbon finance for participating businesses within the Kenya transportation sector (owners, suppliers or manufacturers of e-mobility technology, investors, operators, and leasing companies – among others).

Generating and monetizing emission reductions as mitigation outcomes to be transferred between Kenya and Switzerland, the program aims to promote e-mobility in different electric mobility categories:

• Vans (LCVs) and trucks (HDVs) for goods/cargo transportation;
• Intercity buses and urban buses for passenger transportation;
• Buses for collective (school/corporate) transportation;
• Motorcycles, 3-wheeled vehicles and electric bicycles;
• Mobile machinery equipment such as forklifts, dump trucks, graders, and forklifts used in warehouses, construction sites, ports, airports, and mining operations.

The program will cover the entire country, supporting the widespread use of this type of e-mobility transportation. In addition to contributing to climate change mitigation, it will also have benefits for people’s health and quality of life by reducing air and noise pollution.

We are currently advancing the development of the program through validation to eventually request registration of the Program with the Designated National Authorities of Kenya and Switzerland. You can contact us at kenya@zeroca.world to present your questions or concerns.
