Complementary to the Africa Sovereign Carbon Registry
The ASCR provides the policy framework endorsed by the African Union. Green Gate provides the operational software that turns that framework into collected revenue. Together, they enable sovereign carbon tax collection across the continent.
ARCHITECTURE
How ASCR and Green Gate Work Together
ASCR is a registry and governance layer — it defines the polluter-pays framework and certifies carbon credits. Green Gate is an operations layer — it detects vessels, calculates emissions, generates invoices, and processes payments. They are complementary, not competitive.

Green Gate's tax rates and emission methodologies align with ASCR's Polluter Pays Framework, ensuring that sovereign carbon contributions follow AU-endorsed standards.
Registry Reporting
Collection data from Green Gate can be reported to the ASCR national registry, providing verified emission and revenue data for international climate reporting (NDCs, Paris Art. 6.2).
Verification & Certification
ASCR's third-party verification framework applies to Green Gate's audit trail — hash-chained records provide the transparency required for ASCR certification.
Technical Interoperability
Green Gate's API is designed for integration with ASCR's digital registry infrastructure, enabling automatic data exchange between the collection system and the continental registry.
Ready to Integrate?
If your country is part of the ASCR framework or considering sovereign carbon tax collection, Green Gate provides the operational infrastructure to make it real.
