Our goal is to be the largest source of African high integrity nature based carbon credits
We partner with African customary leaders to create new forest concessions for the purpose of developing forestry based carbon offset projects; primarily forest regeneration, conservation or forestation developments.
About us
We are a firm built by individuals and companies with expertise in large scale real estate development; we take a developer’s view on the forestry based carbon offset space.
We identify rural tracts of land for which the best and highest use of a concession of land would be the development of a carbon offsetting forest.
Building for scale
McKinsey estimates that demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 15 by 2030 and a factor of 100 by 2050. The market for carbon credits could grow from ~US$2 billion to upwards of US$50 billion by 2030.
Morgan Stanley is even more bullish--they expect the voluntary carbon credit market to grow from a value of ~US$2 billion currently to US$100 billion by 2030 and US$250 billion by 2050.
Nature based solutions are expected to become increasingly important as industry and governments seek to work towards net-zero per the Paris Agreement.
Scale will be key to achieving this; aggregating substantial amounts of land and capital. We are building Carbon Canopy to achieve that intermediation at scale.
We have partnered with communities to build >2 million hectares of forest pipeline.
We manage the land on behalf of communities and their customary leaders.
Our engagements with rural communities are anchored in real partnership. Community benefits sharing is core to our approach because it provides assurance that new forests will be safeguarded by the communities we work with.
