In this episode, we sit down with one of our clients, TransEnergy Global, to explore the incredible work they’re doing. We unpack their journey in implementing a first-of-its-kind project, hear their perspective on South Africa’s Just Energy Transition, and discuss the role carbon credits can play in accelerating it. We also dive into the progress made so far in developing their methodology and we wrap up with a quick conversation on the Global Citizen Now event held on 21 November 2025.
Key takeaways of discussion:
• How carbon credits can be reinvested for even greater impact
• What a Just Energy Transition truly means, according to TransEnergy
• How the Coal Abatement for an Energy Transition methodology addresses key sticking points such as permanence and leakage
• What major learnings TransEnergy have from their journey so far
• Why platforms such as the Global Citizen Now matter for climate action
Stay tuned for an exciting announcement towards the end of the episode!
