Our work
Jurisdictional REDD+ program in South America
We are assisting the Province of Misiones, in Argentina, to develop the world’s first jurisdictional program for a territory covering almost 30,000 square kilometers (11,600 sq. miles). Estimated 10 million VCUs expected to be issued during the second half of 2024.

- Facilitated technical experts in crafting a comprehensive Project Design Document (PDD), a cornerstone in presenting our initiative to carbon credit standards, securing credibility and viability.
- Provided steadfast support to local authorities throughout rigorous audit processes, ensuring compliance and fostering trust in our endeavors.

Improved Forest Management (IFM) project in South America
We’re helping a group of private landowners sell 49,000 hectares of land in one of South America’s most biodiverse regions. This land will be used for an improved forest management project that not only produces a substantial amount of carbon credits but also enhances the value of sustainably extracted wood. The project aims to generate around 130,000 Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) annually while safeguarding 4,000 species, including 65 endangered ones. Additionally, it has the potential to yield 100,000 cubic meters of biomass and conserve over 200,000 cubic meters of water each year.
Climate Finance advisory to governments
In 2023 were consulted by a bank in the Republic of El Salvador on implementing a debt swap in exchange for natural assets. A similar solution had been previously presented to a national government in South America in 2022.
In June 2024, we will lead a pivotal training session to empower local governments in Perú, addressing the critical challenges of implementing a REDD+ jurisdictional carbon credit program
Waste management facility in South America
We provided expert guidance to one of our clients in crafting the financial model and business plan for a waste management facility in Uruguay. Processing over 100 tons of waste daily, this endeavor serves as a vital solution to a pressing challenge faced by the local government.
Adoption of new technologies
We have been entrusted by a leading stock exchange in Southeast Asia to devise the optimal solution for implementing an electronic carbon exchange platform. Collaborating with a strategic partner in Europe, we are actively exploring innovative alternatives to achieve this goal.
Carbon Trading
We represent buyers and sellers to execute carbon credit OTC transactions.
