EcoSecurities, a leading global climate solutions company leveraging nature, technology, and finance to drive decarbonization, and the Energy Quest Foundation, an economic and social impact organization advancing energy development, with intense focus on clean energy and sustainable transport across Africa, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the scale-up of electric mobility solutions throughout sub-Saharan Africa using carbon and climate finance.
Financing the Future of Clean Transport
The partnership aims to unlock new sources of catalytic finance to accelerate the rollout of sustainable e-mobility infrastructure and services. By harnessing carbon markets and broader climate finance mechanisms, EcoSecurities and Energy Quest Foundation will support the development of high-integrity, high-impact, investable e-mobility projects that deliver low-carbon transport solutions—and help drive green, sustainable economic activity that can truly propel Ghana and the African continent toward long-term sustainable development.
Strategic Areas of Collaboration Include:
- Climate and carbon advisory services
- Capacity building and pipeline development of investable e-mobility opportunities
- Mobilization of catalytic carbon and climate finance for investment-ready e-mobility solutions
“We’re delighted to be working with Energy Quest Foundation to bring our global climate finance and e-mobility experience to the African context,” said Pablo Fernández, CEO of EcoSecurities.
“This partnership combines our expertise in carbon markets and project development with Energy Quest’s deep local knowledge and convening power. Together, we can help catalyze investment in low-carbon transport solutions that not only reduce emissions but also drive inclusive, sustainable growth across Ghana and the wider continent.”
“At Energy Quest Foundation, we recognize that scaling e-mobility in Africa goes beyond technology—it requires strong partnerships and coordinated financing,” said Lesley Arthur, Founder and Director of Energy Quest Foundation.
“We’re proud to partner with EcoSecurities, whose global track record in climate finance and carbon markets makes them an ideal collaborator for advancing transformative transport solutions. Together, we’re bringing governments, multilateral institutions, investors, and development partners to the table to unlock capital for clean, inclusive mobility. Through our platform, the EV Revolution Africa (ERA) Conference, we’re creating the space for these vital conversations—turning momentum into meaningful action across the continent.”
This collaboration builds on growing demand for climate-aligned infrastructure and addresses the urgent need to transition Africa’s transport systems toward a low-carbon future—locally impactful and globally significant. The transport sector currently contributes around 346 million tonnes of CO₂ annually across Africa, accounting for nearly 24% of the continent’s energy-related emissions. With rising urbanisation and motorisation, emissions from transport are growing at nearly 4% per year, making it one of the fastest-increasing sources of greenhouse gases on the continent.
In Ghana, transport is already responsible for approximately 17% of national greenhouse gas emissions, and as of 2022, it represented the largest share of energy-related CO₂ emissions at 47%. Under a business-as-usual scenario, emissions from Ghana’s transport sector are projected to increase from 43 million tonnes CO₂e in 2016 to 74 million tonnes CO₂e by 2050. E-mobility solutions—such as electric buses, motorcycles, and charging infrastructure—offer a vital opportunity to decarbonise this trajectory while delivering cleaner air, energy security, and inclusive economic growth.
“We’re delighted to be working with Energy Quest Foundation to bring our global climate finance and e-mobility experience to the African context. This partnership combines our expertise in carbon markets and project development with Energy Quest’s deep local knowledge and convening power. Together, we can help catalyze investment in low-carbon transport solutions that not only reduce emissions but also drive inclusive, sustainable growth across Ghana and the wider continent.”
