At the heart of global markets with a specific focus on Africa, we identify, source, and monetize environmental commodities to generate new and additional revenues for asset owners.

Our mission is to accelerate Africa’s climate transition and support sustainable growth across the continent. We began as a pure player in the voluntary carbon markets and have since diversified, adding new product trading lines: renewable energy certificates (2020), compliance carbon credits (2025), and recycled plastics (2025).

Every day, we provide our clients and counterparties with best-in-class services and solutions. Our expertise combines technical support, financing structuring, and commercial capabilities to help projects, secure transactions, and optimize flows and values.

Over the years, Aera has built a unique track record, from pioneering carbon credit transactions in 11 Sub-Saharan countries to developing the largest carbon portfolio on the continent.

Our company culture is deeply rooted in our entrepreneurial background. As an independently managed and owned company, our growth has been entirely supported by organic and profitable development. Our reputation is often echoed with the words efficient, reliable, and responsible. That’s what we strive for.
