Projects are developed as follows:

Stage 1: Feasibility Study

This stage involves conducting a detailed Carbon Feasibility Study and building a robust Financial Model to ensure the viability of the project.

What’s Included:

• Carbon Potential Assessment:

• Estimation of carbon sequestration potential based on land type, size, and ecosystem characteristics.

• Analysis of baseline emissions and expected reductions under project interventions.

• Market Analysis:

• Current and forecasted carbon credit prices in voluntary and compliance markets.

• Identification of potential buyers and off-take agreements.

• Risk Assessment:

• Identification of environmental, regulatory, and financial risks.

• Development of mitigation strategies tailored to the project location.

• Financial Modeling:

• Project cash flow forecasts and return-on-investment calculations.

• Structuring of development costs, operating costs, and revenue streams.

• Marketing Materials:

• Development of pitch decks outlining the situation, threats, carbon potential and project financials.

• Jurisdiction Assessment:

• Evaluation of legislation, policy, and permissions required to initiate a carbon project in the chosen jurisdiction.

This stage ensures the project is viable, scalable, and attractive to investors.

Stage 2: Investment Roadshow and Governance Approvals

• Offtake Agreement: Securing agreements with buyers to purchase carbon credits.

• Development Financing: Raising funds for the next phase of the project.

• Implementation Financing: Securing additional capital for full-scale execution.

• MOUs: Establishing Memoranda of Understanding with government entities and financial institutions.

Stage 3: PDD, FPIC, and Due Diligence

After proving feasibility, we proceed to the detailed development phase, including:

• Project Design Document (PDD):

• Preparing the document for registration with carbon standards (e.g., Verra, ERS, Gold Standard).

• Includes baseline studies, carbon calculations, and methodologies.

• Community Engagement and FPIC:

• Conducting Free, Prior, and Informed Consent processes to ensure local community support.

• Collaboration on co-benefits such as job creation, infrastructure improvements, and ecosystem services.

• Legal and Tax Due Diligence:

• Verification of land tenure and ownership.

• Assessment of compliance with national regulations and potential tax implications.

• Legal Agreements:

• Drafting agreements with the Ministry of Environment to secure permits and align with government frameworks.

• Site Visits and Plot Testing:

• On-the-ground verification of project conditions, including soil and biomass testing.
