Hello all, Might this be one of those companies that is "harvesting" carbon credits from our region? Regards, Brian - Briefly: Carbon Keeper is a mobile and web-based software service for information management in rural energy businesses. It allows sellers of household energy products like efficient cookstoves, solar powered lanterns and water filters to collect customer information over mobile phones or the web, and lets them report on the data in ways that are helpful for managing operations, reporting to investors and donors, and monitoring greenhouse gas emissions. A prototype online in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania tracked about 13,000 transactions in 2012.
