BasiGo, an e-mobility startup headquartered in Nairobi, has won the Keeling Curve Prize (KCP), awarded by the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP). The award celebrates the impactful climate mitigation efforts of global projects, and this year’s winners are recognised for innovations such as green nitrogen fertilizer production, seaweed cultivation for cattle feed, alcohols produced from CO2 and e-mobility.

Each year, the Keeling Curve Prize awards $25,000 to 10 projects and programs across the globe with demonstrated success in reducing, eliminating, avoiding, or drawing down greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. The 2022 prize attracted nearly 400 applications.

GWMP’s Executive Director, Jacque Francis, announced the winners at this year’s KCP Winners Ceremony, held live in Darmstadt, Germany. Francis shared, “Greenhouse gas emissions are the driving force behind the climate emergency. This can and must be addressed, worldwide. Elevating and investing in proven projects and programs is a valuable way the GWMP is lighting up the landscape for a liveable future.”
