Kenya’s first $832.76 million (Sh107.3 billion) green fertiliser project targets to sell carbon credits in the lucrative compliance market by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

A compliance market is a government-regulated scheme for trading carbon credits—permits that allow owners to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. One credit permits the emission of one tonne of carbon dioxide or the equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
