Project Development

We have worked with dozens of entities to improve their sustainability performance

We are always in the field, constantly improving our projects

Respecting perspective helps us appreciate clients' questions about implementing sustainability policies

"Sustainability" and "profitability" are not mutually-exclusive concepts: they are intimately codependent

Sustainable Carbon is Latin America's leading carbon project developer, with over 40 VER projects validated in the region and many more in our pipeline. We specialize in projects that deliver robust emissions reductions and sustainable community development, offering project development of carbon offset projects, including feasibility assessments, project design, implementation, monitoring & commercialization of the resulting carbon credits. Through the sale of carbon credit commodities generated by our emission reductions projects, we bring otherwise-unavailable finance for sustainable development to small communities across the Latin America.

Renewable Biomass Fuel Switch (RBFS)

Our RBFS projects substitute the use of native timber and heavy oil fuel for renewable biomass in industrial processes, typically small scale ceramic businesses. Sources of biomass are classed as renewable when their use produces no net gain in CO2 emissions. By changing to renewable forms of fuel, our projects reduce the use of fossil fuels and contribute to avoided deforestation in critically endangered ecosystems, such as the Amazon. This switch directly addresses local demand for fossil fuels and timber, complementing our other preservation-based projects that reduce the supply of such materials in the region.

Forestry

Our forestry projects use Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) methodologies to protect endangered forestland. We also implement Improved Forestry Management (IFM) programs that place a value on the preservation of these ecosystems, bringing alternative revenues to the local community. This preservation directly addresses regional supply of native timber for industrial applications, complementing our RBFS projects that reduce the demand for such materials in local businesses.

Avoided Methane

Our avoided methane projects are some of our most additional projects in terms of ecosystem benefits. Methane is over 20 times more potent as a greenhouse gas as CO2. By composting or biodigesting swine manure, methane emissions are avoided. In addition to trapping methane gas, the composting process leads to reduced nitrogen and phosphorus leaching, which would otherwise pollute waterways and harm aquatic biodiversity in the area. Lower leaching also improves water retention in soils, important for agriculture and more effective water use on farms.
