Carbon Streaming, Offsets, REDD+ Projects And ESG-Linked Financing

Carbon Streaming, Offsets, REDD+ Projects And ESG-Linked Financing

We help project developers, commodity producers, and corporate buyers raise capital against future carbon credits and execute credible decarbonisation programs. Our team structures carbon streaming and prepayment facilities, forward offtake for verified credits, REDD+ project and jurisdictional programs, and sustainability-linked debt with clear key performance indicators. We prepare a file that a credit committee and an ESG desk will approve, then place it with banks, private credit, specialist funds, and buyers.
Who We Serve
Nature-based and renewable developers, industrials seeking Scope 1 and 2 abatement, commodity producers with methane or flaring projects, corporates with net zero roadmaps, and buyers with long-dated offset demand.
Use Cases
Pre-construction development capital, scale-up of verified programs, balance sheet relief, procurement of credits under offtake, and ESG-linked treasury solutions tied to measurable outcomes.
Standards And Registries
Verra VCS, Gold Standard, American Carbon Registry, CORSIA-eligible methodologies, ICVCM Core Carbon Principles alignment, and registry custody controls.

  3. Underwriting File. Project design document, baselines, leakage and permanence analysis, MRV plan, implementation budget, management and community framework, and legal drafts.
  4. Placement. Targeted outreach to carbon funds, corporate buyers, private credit, banks, and strategic offtakers with clear price and covenant asks.
  5. Documentation And Closing. Credit and commercial agreements, verification calendar, opinion and assurance work, and registry setup for custody and transfers.
  6. Post-Close Support. Delivery monitoring, KPI testing for ESG-linked facilities, reporting to investors and buyers, and amendments where programs scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do buyers and lenders view quality in the voluntary market
They focus on methodology strength, additionality, permanence and leakage controls, verifier track record, transparency of data, and governance. Independent ratings and audits support decisions, along with adherence to Core Carbon Principles where applicable.
Can carbon revenue support non-recourse project finance
Yes for mature, repeatable programs with contracted offtake and credible verification history. Lenders require conservative delivery cases, reserves, replacement rights, and custody controls at the registry level.
What makes an ESG-linked loan credible
KPIs must be material, measurable, externally verified, and tied to a clear margin ratchet. Reporting must be frequent, and remedies for misses must be defined.
