Have you heard of these renewable energy products coming to #Nigeria? While in some parts of #Nigeria, and even #Africa, carbon credits, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and the likes may already be available, they are in limited supply. Their increased availaibility is required to upscale the continent's energy transition, though. That’s why pioneering companies like Payhippo and their unnamed partners are now paving the way for carbon credits, RECs and other similar products to become more accessible in #Nigeria, as well as in #Africa. 🎧Tune in now to discover the other emerging DRE partnerships and product expansions Payhippo has in store for the coming years so that you can stay ahead of the curve https://lnkd.in/dF6Gi7yb
