"We bring together all the players in the value chain to attract investment at different levels and generate mutual benefits."

Structuring projets

Financial valuation of projects and resource mobilisation

We add financial value to low-carbon projects by structuring them technically, making it easier to mobilise resources at lower cost.

Identification of sectors of activity eligible for climate finance

We are concentrating our efforts on sectors that are eligible for climate finance.

Adaptation of existing projects so that they are able to attract climate investments

Adaptation is key in the fight against climate change, which is why we are helping to decarbonise existing projects so that they are in line with the 1.5°C target.

Structuring and certification of projects so that they can benefit from easy and quick financing

It is essential that the project is technically well structured and conforms to current standards and methodologies to ensure its integrity, underpinned by external scrutiny by researchers.

Training public and private actors on the possibility of climate change

We provide thought leadership, particularly to public and private sector decision makers, to inform them of the potential of carbon credits.

"We are convinced that the path to energy transition requires important social adjustments."
From an African perspective, decarbonisation of essential services such as energy or transport requires the upgrading and training of existing employees. We also act directly upstream with the States (national education, implementation of policy framework).

Our tools

Standardized Regional Carbon Market for green projects being created by AETS

The initiative for a standardised regional market for carbon credits (both voluntary and facilitated under Article 6) is a pioneering way of leveraging climate finance in West Africa.

International partners (leading researchers, certification bodies, banks and funds)

We work with international partners both to ensure the integrity of our approach and to facilitate the raising of funds for our clients.

Technical assistance

We provide technical assistance to our partners to fund some of the feasibility studies needed to implement low-carbon projects.

African countries

The scope of AETS is continental. The combined mission to develop the economy and to be involved in the energy transition / climate change mitigation will be supported by the use of innovative climate finance. A clear metric could be a tangible proof of action. Africa will be a profitable destination for investment. Projects linked to climate finance are also associated to major UN SDG (clean energy, health, economic growth, sustainable cities, climate action and partnerships) to achieve the goal.
