Founded in 2007, MicroEnergy Credits (MEC) is a social enterprise dedicated to unlocking carbon revenue for organizations distributing clean energy technologies to the world's poor. The company works with microfinance institutions and local enterprises to finance and deploy clean energy products like solar lanterns, water filters, and efficient cookstoves. MEC aggregates these small, individual projects into large-scale portfolios, allowing them to be certified under international standards to generate carbon credits. The revenue from selling these credits is then used to make clean energy more affordable for low-income families, creating a sustainable cycle of social and environmental impact.
