Carbon Project Development

We help our clients ensure they generate credits with carbon projects.

Our international Carbon Project Development team are dedicated to meeting the rising demand for high-quality carbon offsets, ensuring that our projects deliver maximum impact. With expertise in both portfolio management—buying and selling offsets on behalf of clients—and carbon project development, we offer a comprehensive approach to offsetting solutions.

We focus on developing projects that generate carbon credits across four key themes: Mangroves/Blue Carbon, Water and Sanitation, Methane from Landfill Gas, and Regenerative Agriculture.

Our holistic project approach considers the well-being of animals, livelihoods, local communities, and ecosystems, alongside atmospheric and environmental factors. These projects are designed to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring not only credible carbon offsetting but also tangible benefits for local communities worldwide, fostering a healthier, more sustainable future.

Carbon Project Development Areas

The restoration of mangroves, also called blue carbon, is very important for the climate. Mangroves can store four times more carbon than rainforests can. Next to carbon storage they serve as storm barriers for coastal protection. Mangroves are hotspots for biodiversity, serving as nurseries for fish and as clean water filters.

We’re setting up carbon programmes on mangrove restoration and conservation in the south of Brazil together with the local NGO Çarakura Institute. They work closely with local communities, indigenous people, and authorities; an important condition for projects to succeed.

Methane is a greenhouse gas (GHG), so its presence in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature and climate system. It is the second most dominant GHG after carbon dioxide (CO₂), accounting for about 20 percent of global emissions and more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Over the last two centuries, methane concentrations in the atmosphere have more than doubled, largely due to human-related activities. In line with the US and EU methane pledge at the COP26 in Glasgow, we are committed to developing landfill gas extraction projects where methane is captured and used to generate power.

Rotational grazing, cover cropping, reduced tillage, and other practices improve soil quality and the farmer’s bottom line. Increased soil organic carbon and reduced greenhouse gas emissions from these practices can also generate carbon credits of the highest quality.

AgriCarbon, our carbon farming programmes in South Africa and Argentina, pays farmers for the carbon credits they generate from practicing sustainable land management.
Together with Ruuts, a Latin American start-up, we are working on large-scale land regeneration with regenerative agriculture in a project called SARA.

Carbon Project Examples

case study

Regenerative Agriculture Project in South Africa

Regenerative agriculture is a holistic farming approach that aims to improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and promote ecological resilience while also producing food. The basic principle of  regenerative agriculture is to work with the natural systems rather than against them. It is an effective way of reducing greenhouse gases by turning soil into carbon sinks and removing CO2…

case study

Regenerative Agriculture in South America

Extreme weather events are rapidly increasing worldwide. Argentina is currently dealing with the worst drought in 130 years. Millions of hectares are degraded: no grass, no water, no bugs, no life, thus no production and no carbon sequestration. This partially has to do with the conventional way of farming and grazing management, resulting in soil…

case study

Biochar in South America, Bolivia

Since the industrial revolution, human activity has caused the natural carbon cycle to be in disbalance. We have been emitting too much carbon into our atmosphere. While simultaneously drastically changing our habits to decrease emissions, the contemporary excess carbon in the atmosphere also must be sequestered. Biochar is one of the solutions to the need…

case study

Wind Farms in India

The deficit is being met by stimulating the development of renewable energy technologies (RETS). Wind energy – with a share of 70% of the total supply of RETS energy – has emerged as the winner within the program within recent years. Currently, an estimated 28,000 jobs have been created in the wind energy sector and…

case study

Landfill Gas Turkey

In terms of waste management, Turkey is working hard towards a landfill policy that meets the EU’s strict standards. The result has been greater levels of controlled waste dumping and recycling, which is a good thing. This project ensures that landfills catering for nonrecyclable materials are fitted with special equipment that turns waste into energy…

case study

Efficient Cookstoves in Uganda

Over a third of the global population relies on open fires for cooking. This usually happens indoors. These fires produce a lot of smoke, which is dangerous to people’s health. Globally, four million people die from respiratory diseases caused by cooking over an open fire. This is more than the collective death toll of tuberculosis,…

case study

Biogas project in Cambodia

This offset project invests in making biogas installations available in Cambodia, aiming to increase rural people’s access to a sustainable supply of clean energy. The initiative was established by Cambodia’s National Biodigester Programme, which is a collaboration between the local department of Forestries and Fisheries and SNV The Netherlands. About the project Many Cambodians in…

case study

Reforestation in Tanzania

This reforestation project in Tanzania is set up to combat climate change by replanting degraded forest land. It also contributes to an alternative livelihood for the people in the project area. Climate & Environment Social & Economic Background The project covers two areas: Uchindele and Mapanda forests in the poverty-stricken districts of Kilombero, Morogoro and…
