Carbon Projects
Our team brings over two decades of specialised experience in the development and assessment of carbon projects worldwide
Carbon projects offer near-term relief as deeper decarbonisation unfolds
Carbon projects channel investment into the regeneration of the planet. They help stabilise the climate now, creating space for the structural shifts still to come.
Recognised within national and international net zero strategies, they are one of the few mechanisms that deliver immediate, tangible relief for the atmosphere.
Since their inception, carbon markets have evolved significantly. Standards have strengthened, transparency has improved, and a clearer understanding of what defines a high-integrity project has emerged. Yet, quality still varies across methodologies and regions. Experience remains essential - knowing how to identify credible projects and build balanced portfolios ensures that investment supports genuine climate and nature outcomes.
We manage the technical aspects, so you can focus on impact
We help organisations navigate the complexity of carbon markets with confidence. Our carbon team have worked in the industry for 20+ years, with experience in both as project developers and traders.
We understand how carbon markets function - from project development and verification through to credit issuance and retirement. This experience enables us to identify credible projects, manage risk, and design high-integrity portfolios that deliver measurable climate and nature outcomes.
Our goal is to make credible climate action straightforward. We support clients to:
Understand the market: education on project types, methodologies, and integrity standards.
Source supply: access projects directly from our own projects, directly from developers, or through the secondary market.
Design portfolio mix: design a carbon credit solution that matches your requirements - price, project types, geographies, co-benefits.
Manage transactions: oversee due diligence, contracting, and delivery to ensure transparency and integrity.
Example project
MALAWI COOKSTOVE PROJECT
In rural Malawi, many households still rely on traditional three-stone fires for cooking - a method that consumes large amounts of firewood and contributes to widespread deforestation.
The Changu Changu Mot cookstove offers a simple, effective alternative. Made from locally available mud bricks, it uses less wood and produces less smoke. Each stove saves around two bundles of firewood per household every week, easing pressure on surrounding forests. More than 40,000 households have been supported to build and maintain their own stoves, saving an estimated 80,000 bundles of firewood each week.
The project is certified under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a United Nations framework that enables emission reduction projects in developing countries to generate carbon credits, which can be used by other nations to meet part of their own climate commitments.
Project Benefits
Reduces emissions and contributes to global climate change mitigation.
Prevents deforestation by lowering household demand for firewood.
Improves health by reducing indoor smoke and respiratory illness.
Enhances safety by greatly reducing the risk of burns, particularly for children.
Saves time and money — freeing up hours each week, especially for women, to focus on education, livelihoods, and community life.
Supports wider environmental initiatives delivered by the project organisation, including biodiversity restoration
