DRC carbon credits investment, verified before it reaches you.
The Congo Basin is the world's second-largest rainforest and, with the Cuvette Centrale peatlands, one of the planet's most important carbon sinks. We review Congo Basin carbon projects for tenure, standard and authorisation, then connect investors and offtakers directly with verified developers.
Carbon that is genuinely additional — and genuinely at risk.
A global carbon sink
The Congo Basin rainforest and the Cuvette Centrale peat complex store globally significant volumes of carbon. Avoided deforestation, reforestation and peatland protection are the DRC's core project archetypes.
Article 6 & voluntary markets
DRC-origin credits can be structured for the voluntary carbon market or, where the state authorises it, for corresponding-adjusted transfers under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
Four routes to DRC-origin credits.
REDD+ / Avoided Deforestation
Protecting standing forest under threat, measured against a validated deforestation baseline.
Reforestation & Afforestation
Removals from planting on degraded land, generally longer-dated but higher-integrity.
Peatland Protection
Cuvette Centrale peat conservation — extremely carbon-dense and highly sensitive to drainage.
Clean Cooking
Improved cookstove and fuel-switch programmes with strong household-level co-benefits.
Tenure first. Standard second. Everything else after that.
Nature-based carbon has an integrity problem — over-credited baselines, contested land rights and thin community benefit-sharing have all been documented across tropical forest markets. We'd rather name that openly and show what we check than present carbon as a frictionless asset class.
Land tenure and community consent are checked before any project is presented — overlapping claims are the single biggest source of failed carbon projects.
We look for projects on a recognised standard (Verra VCS, Gold Standard or an equivalent) with a credible validation and verification pathway.
Benefit-sharing with local communities is treated as a diligence item, not a marketing line.
Government authorisation and any corresponding-adjustment position are clarified before an introduction is made.
From mandate to introduction, in three steps.
Tell Us Your Mandate
Offtake, project equity, pre-financing or advisory — and the volume and vintage profile you need.
Verification Review
We review tenure, standard, methodology, community consent and authorisation status before anything reaches you.
Direct Introduction
We connect you with the project developer or landholder and support the process through to term sheet.
Tell us the carbon mandate you're working to.
This isn't a credit marketplace — it's how we begin identifying verified Congo Basin carbon projects that match your volume, vintage and integrity requirements.
