Carbon Project Development

We support carbon project developers and landowners in the voluntary carbon market from first concept to issued and sold credits. That covers methodology selection, the Project Design Document, monitoring, validation and verification, registry listing, financing, and offtake.

Projects are designed for Verra (VCS), Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, and SOCIALCARBON, with an eye on what buyers and ratings agencies now expect from high-integrity credits.

From Concept to Credits

Feasibility and Methodology

Eligibility, carbon potential, land tenure, and project economics, followed by selection of the methodology and version that fit your activity, country, and buyers.

Project Design Document

Baseline, additionality, leakage, permanence, safeguards, and the monitoring plan, written so validators can test every claim against evidence.

MRV and Quantification

Monitoring systems, field inventory protocols, biomass and carbon stock estimates, and growth modeling that hold up at verification.

Validation and Registration

Gap analysis before the audit, coordination with the validation and verification body, responses to findings, and registry listing.

Financing and Investment Readiness

Financial models, investor documentation, and pre-issuance or streaming finance to fund the project before credits are issued.

Offtake and Commercialization

Pricing, buyer outreach, forward sales, and long-term offtake contracts with corporate buyers and traders.

Project Types

Afforestation and Reforestation

Forest restoration and agroforestry projects generating removal credits, from land eligibility to issuance.

Soil Carbon and Regenerative Agriculture

Improved agricultural land management, grazing, and soil organic carbon projects.

REDD+ and Forest Conservation

Avoided deforestation projects using current methodologies with jurisdiction-level baselines.

Methane and Oil Well Plugging

Methane abatement from orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells.

Who Leads the Work

Our carbon practice is led by Niavo Ratsimbazafy and Amanda Martins. The team combines environmental scientists and carbon accountants, GIS and remote sensing specialists, certified auditors, and project finance professionals, so the people designing your project understand what validators, ratings agencies, and buyers will test.

Science and Carbon Accounting

GHG quantification, biomass and carbon stock estimation, and the application of methodologies for nature-based and engineered projects.

Standards and Registries

Working knowledge of Verra, Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, and SOCIALCARBON rules, and experience managing validation and verification with independent auditors.

Finance and Structuring

Project finance and commodity trading backgrounds, building bankable models and capital structures for carbon projects.

Commercial and Offtake

Market analysis, price discovery, and relationships with corporate buyers, traders, and brokers.
