Designed for heterogeneity.
Governed per asset class.
African banking portfolios are not uniform. Peercarbon applies specific PCAF-aligned calculation methodologies for each distinct asset class, ensuring defensibility at the loan level.
Motor Vehicle Loans
Passenger vehicles, commercial fleets, and transport assets.
Status: Live and in
production This asset class is
typically used for initial verification deployments due to its data availability
(Make/Model/Distance),
methodological clarity, and audit familiarity.
Attribution Logic
-
Vehicle-level classification by fuel type, technology, and usage (WTW / TTW)
-
Distance- and intensity-based tailpipe emissions factors
-
Data quality scoring maintained at counterparty and asset level
-
Explicit documentation of assumptions and factor sources
Additional asset classes are implemented using the same verification and governance
architecture, with logic isolated, version-controlled, and auditable per category.
Differences are not collapsed. They are contained and
governed.
Business Loans & Unlisted Equity
CAT 02Private corporate exposures, including SME and mid-market portfolios.
- / Economic activity–based exposure classification
- / ISIC / NACE sector mapping for proxy selection
- / Bulk ingestion of legacy loan tapes
- / Explicit identification and documentation of defensibility gaps
Listed Equity & Corporate Bonds
CAT 01Public equity and debt instruments.
- / Attribution based on EVIC per PCAF guidance
- / Sector classification via ISIC / NACE
- / Clear separation of reported versus estimated data
- / Counterparty-level emissions reconciliation
Project Finance
CAT 03Infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects.
- / Physical activity-based emissions estimation
- / Use-of-proceeds attribution logic
- / Project-level boundary definition
- / Lifecycle emissions visibility where relevant
Commercial Real Estate
CAT 04Commercial property portfolios and REIT exposures.
- / Floor-area and energy-intensity calculations
- / Building-level data normalization
- / Separation of Scope 1, Scope 2, and proxy estimates
- / Explicit boundary condition documentation
Strict Alignment
PCAF attribution and aggregation rules are applied without deviation.
Data Quality (1–5)
Quality scores are transparently assigned per counterparty and escalated where required.
Proxy Disclosure
All proxy usage is explicitly disclosed, sourced, and bounded by known limitations.
Audit Readiness
All assumptions, source data, and methodologies are fully documented, traceable, and replayable.
Motor Vehicles (PCAF 6) is Live. | All other asset classes are PCAF-aligned and scheduled for Q1 implementation.
Governance Across Difference.
Each asset class operates under its own methodology selection, data hierarchy, and attribution logic.
Peercarbon does not force uniformity across these differences. It governs them. Ungoverned variation is where audit challenges escalate and confidence erodes.
PCAF compliance is not achieved by forcing sameness.
It is achieved by applying the right logic — consistently — across difference.
Choose your starting scope
Initial deployments begin with one asset class, one portfolio, and one reporting period — ensuring defensibility before expansion.
