ARR Carbon Project Structuring – Afforestation, Reforestation & Revegetation Finance
Tree planting isn’t charity; it’s a cash-flow machine when done right. We bankroll site prep, sapling production, planting, and years of monitoring, then flip the coming credits through forward deals or streaming contracts. Sponsors stay liquid. Buyers lock in traceable supply. Everybody breathes easier—literally.
What Counts as ARR?
• Afforestation:
Turning idle grassland or scrub into first-generation forest.
• Reforestation:
Re-planting areas logged or burned long ago.
• Revegetation:
Boosting tree cover on farmland with alley cropping, windbreaks, riparian buffers, and agro-silvopasture mixes.
Our End-to-End Playbook
• Baseline & Feasibility:
Satellite imagery, biomass plots, soil testing, and community sign-off.
• Capital Stack:
We stitch together pre-pays, mezz notes, and equity to match seedling survival curves and verification milestones.
• MRV & Certification:
Laser scanning, drone LIDAR, and field transects under VCS or Gold Standard; validator lined up early.
• Credit Sales:
Offtake strips at fixed price, call options for corporates, or spot once units hit the registry.
• Long-Haul Oversight:
Fire breaks, thinning plans, buffer pool management, and benefit-sharing with local communities—handled in house.
