DRC expands Article 6 authorisation for Econetix to 2.75 million carbon credits
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has expanded its Article 6 Letter of Authorisation for carbon asset manager Econetix by an additional 2 million tCO2e, bringing the total authorised volume to 2.75 million tonnes. This authorisation covers Econetix's Gold Standard clean energy programme (GS12469) with ALTECH Group, including solar lighting, home solar systems, and clean cookstove distribution. The agreement applies corresponding adjustments to credit vintages from 2023 through 2033, using the DRC’s National Registry. This expansion positions the programme to issue verified Gold Standard credits from October 2026, with Econetix's total CORSIA-eligible credits across three African nations now exceeding 14.5 million tCO2e.
