Strengthen Your Business’ Environmental Strategy with Nature-Based Carbon Projects

What is a Nature-based carbon project?

Nature-based Carbon Projects are initiatives that harness the power of natural ecosystems–such as forests, wetlands, and soils, to absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and store it in biomass and soil. 

These projects utilize natural processes to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges, including climate change and promote biodiversity.

Understanding the Importance of Nature-Based Carbon Projects

Nature-based carbon projects involve protecting, restoring, and sustainably managing ecosystems to enhance their resilience and ability to sequester carbon. These projects play a key role in restoring climate balance, delivering a holistic range of benefits, from environmental, social, and economic benefit.

Environmental

Nature-based solutions (NbS) harness natural ecosystems like forests, wetlands, and grasslands to capture and store carbon dioxide, effectively restoring climate balance. These solutions could provide up to 37% of the required mitigation by 2030  to meet the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement. Beyond carbon sequestration, NbS protects biodiversity by creating habitats for various species, including endangered ones, and helps manage disaster risks by reducing the impact of flooding, mudslides, and other natural disasters.

Socioeconomic 

Nature-based solutions provide a key approach for restoring climate balance, not only from an environmental perspective but also in terms of a range of social and economic benefits,  such as improving food security, reducing air pollution, controlling disease,supporting local economies, and  creating  jobs that boost economic output. 

Furthermore, nature-based solutions offer a cost-effective approach to capturing carbon from the atmosphere. For instance, In Indonesia, a cost-benefit analysis showed that mangrove conservation and restoration is economically viable, identifying key areas for a $400 million USD investment that supports coastal protection and local livelihoods. 

How would a Nature-based carbon project benefit your business?

The reality is that global climate targets cannot be achieved without nature, and we will not be able to protect and restore nature at the required scale without carbon markets, which mobilize billions of dollars in private sector finance each year. Integrating carbon credits into business strategies offers several benefits beyond environmental responsibility, enabling carbon neutrality or event negativity. 

Carbon credits help companies price their emissions, creating financial incentives to reduce their footprint while offsetting unavoidable emissions. This supports carbon neutrality or even negativity while boosting brand reputation and competitiveness by aligning with eco-conscious consumers. A study conducted by Boston Consulting Group in 2023 found that consumers are open to switching brands and willing to pay more if offsetting is available.

Beyond business benefits, participation in carbon credit strengthens industry-wide sustainability efforts, fosters cross-sector collaboration, and builds trust with stakeholders, including customers, investors, and communities.

A key tool in this effort is the participation in the voluntary carbon market, which surpassed $1 billion in 2021 and could grow to $5–$30 billion annually by 2030. With two-thirds of funding directed toward nature-based solutions, this market plays a vital role in closing the $4.1 trillion nature finance gap by 2050, offering businesses a chance to drive both climate impact and long-term value.

Develop a High-Quality Nature-based Carbon Project with Us

Here are 6 key steps to successfully implement and develop a nature-based carbon project with us:

1. Pre-Feasibility Study An initial assessment of the potential carbon credit and revenue on your land. We evaluate legal and environmental data to determine the project eligibility of your land.

2. Feasibility StudyField assessment on your land to collect data about carbon, living organisms, local community, potential risks, and how to manage them. These assessments will confirm the carbon quality and quantity on your land.

3. PDD DevelopmentA Project Design Document (PDD) compiles all information needed to meet the requirement of carbon standards and certification, which includes an overview of your current land condition, potential carbon, to its economic value.

4. Project Lead ExecutionEnd-to-end project development from planning, execution, monitoring, and reporting.

5. Carbon CertificationAssist in submitting required documentation and data to get certification through a carbon standards and certification body and authorized project audit for your carbon project.

6. Carbon Credits Selling Facilitate the selling of carbon credits from your project and assist in the transaction process.
