Top Third Ventures

Top Third Ventures (TTV) provides social impact companies in the developing world quick and easy access to carbon finance. More and more organizations are entering the efficient cookstove industry every day. Whether global NGOs or local SMEs, they want access to carbon finance to scale their activities but accessing this innovative tool has so far been too expensive and complex. Through TTV’s unique carbon credit programme (CDM) registered with the (United Nation Organ), TTV reduces the cost of accessing carbon to a fraction and the time required from 15 months to 2 months for these NGOs and SMEs what are distributing efficient cookstoves worldwide. TTV’s efficient cookstove clients sell their efficient cookstoves to the three billion people in the developing world in need of improved cooking technologies. The market potential from this customer segment is 1 gigaton of carbon credits per year, which can be sold on the global carbon credit market. Today, less than 1% of the potential carbon credits from cookstoves are being utilized in the carbon markets. TTV works with existing manufacturers and distributors to secure carbon financing for their activities through the company’s unique rights to earn carbon credits for efficient cookstoves and a state-of-the-art, cloud-based project tracking system. The winning combination is bringing together first-hand experience, on-the-ground knowledge, marketing & sales skills, savvy online engineering, and unique carbon financing expertise, and we are not always sure if we are Big Data company or Carbon Credit provider.
