The Carbon Credit “Stream” for a Cleaner Future
Imagine a mining royalty, but instead of metal we receive verified carbon credits. FG Capital Advisors supplies early funding to climate projects and, in return, locks in a steady flow of credits at pre-agreed prices. We then place those units with corporates and funds that need reliable offset supply. One contract, two winners: the project gains quick cash, the buyer secures future inventory below expected spot.
The FG Capital Streaming Model
• Up-Front Capital:
We advance 30 – 70 % of projected capex so sponsors can kick-off baselines, plant seedlings, install MRV tech, and keep local communities onside.
• Discounted Credit Flow:
Our investment converts into a contractual right to purchase a slice of every future credit at a fixed, below-market price—often 40 – 60 % under spot.
Where Our Investment-Bank Hat Comes In
• Deal Crafting:
We draft stream, royalty or hybrid agreements, mapping volumes, delivery windows and price-adjustment triggers.
• Capital Placement:
We raise senior loans, mezz notes or club equity from private-credit funds, insurers and carbon streaming vehicles, matching each tranche with the project’s risk curve.
• Sales & Marketing:
FG Capital Advisors shoulders the heavy lifting on credit sales, letting project teams focus on planting trees, restoring peatlands or running machinery.
• Ongoing Oversight:
We watch delivery schedules, manage escrow flows and step in early if anything drifts off course.
Project Partners—Long-Term Allies
We prefer relationships measured in decades. Our contracts share revenue from each credit sold, so our upside moves in lockstep with the sponsor’s. The result? A capital partner who wants higher prices, stronger co-benefits and continuous community buy-in just as much as you do.
Why Sponsors Work With Us
- Immediate cash injection to reach first issuance.
- Ongoing payments for the full project life.
- Built-in sales channel: we place the credits, you collect your share.
- Revenue split pushes us to chase best price, not fastest exit.
- Freedom to run the operation—minimal covenants, practical reporting.
Carbon Credit Buyers—What’s in It for You?
Offsets are only one piece of a broader decarbonisation plan, yet the right credits make or break a target. FG Capital Advisors offers a pipeline of diversified, high-quality supply plus clear visibility on future volumes. A slice of every purchase price flows back to local communities, so your spend supports both climate and social goals.
