##### ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Leveraging carbon accounting to tackle access to reliable energy that will promote economic development in places most vulnerable to climate change.

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

Only 50% of the Nigerian population is connected to the public grid and those connected may receive ~6-8 sporadic daily hours, leading to $30B in annual GDP losses. Nigerians spend $22B+ on diesel and petrol for backup generators as a result, with small businesses hit hard by rising fuel costs.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Earthbond's digital one-stop-shop simplifies SME's transition to solar energy. This is done through integrated techno-economic analysis that lets even the smallest SMEs estimate how much they will save and make by switching from diesel or petrol to solar. Most importantly, the data captured makes it easy to qualify the same SMEs for financing and carbon offset-based discounting.
