Empower NbS: triple win for climate, biodiversity and people.

Project development

We develop and invest in pilots

We provide financing and capacity building to local NbS project holders working towards sustainable, high-quality carbon projects.

We strongly believe that the Voluntary Carbon Market needs a lot more of NbS projects. Yet, there is still a funding gap between buying carbon credits from an auditable existing project and investing in the development phase of a new one.

That’s why we aim at supporting the early stages of carbon projects, typically financing pre-feasibility, feasibility studies and pilots. By demonstrating the potential and achievability of projects, we substantially de-risk them for further full-scale investment.

Investment

We fund greenfield operations

After completing all preliminary studies, some promising carbon projects still struggle to find an early investor ready to support the first years of operations to bring the project to scale.

For that reason, we fund first operations phases of carbon projects, enabling them to take-off when they are ready to fly.

Consultancy

We provide solutions to carbon project developers

We offer technical, financial, and managerial consultancy to carbon project developers willing to structure their project compliantly to carbon certification standards.

We bring expertise at every stage of the carbon certification process, notably on carbon estimates and modeling, cost optimization and financial reporting, managerial structure, and impact assessment.

We also offer training to actors willing to understand more about the voluntary carbon market and the step-by-step approach to develop carbon projects.

Let’s talk

Our #1 strength

We are committed to the common good.

Race to net zero emission is not a race against each other, but a race against time. If we do not all cross the finishing line, we all lose. We don't see our peers as competitors but as allies.

Super energized

Our team is international, young, super energized and very talented.

We want to deliver as fast as possible quality projects. Our main if not only driver is to care for the planet in a fair and economically sustainable way.

Action-oriented

We have 6 offices, we are on the ground. We are humbly trying to reverse the trajectory by bringing corporate high-perfomers to the nature space.

We are action-oriented and provide pragmatic solutions to run the last mile and deliver!

Forward-looking

We have secured a first series of financing. The carbon credits of our projects are not by design pre-sold.

We aim at supporting the local projects holders on the short-mid term, always targeting that they reach full autonomy in time.
