The Finite Carbon Difference

Finite Carbon provides the capital to get forest carbon projects developed and approved at little to no cost to the landowner. Once a project is successfully registered and approved, Finite Carbon is compensated with a minority percentage of the registered offsets. Post approval, a landowner receives market insight, offset sales support, training, and ongoing project monitoring. Finite Carbon’s unique model aligns incentives with each landowner so that both parties have the same goals – a successful carbon offset project with the maximum allowable carbon sold at the highest price without losing sight of a landowner’s unique needs. Ultimately, the risks associated with the forest carbon offset project are shifted from the landowner to Finite Carbon whose capital and expertise ensure long term success.

Our Process

Finite Carbon is responsible for every step in the process that leads to the carbon revenues. There is an in-house industry expert for each step (other than verification, as that task must be performed by an outside third party, whom we will hire and pay). Here are the specific steps:

  • Complete a carbon inventory of the forest
  • Select appropriate registry/protocol (e.g., CAR or ACR)
  • Translate inventory into carbon model and management plan
  • Prepare and submit project plan to chosen carbon registry
  • Hire third-party project verifier once plan is accepted and registered
  • Submit project verification to registry and receive allocation of carbon offsets
  • Market & sell carbon offsets in our proprietary network or engage top brokers to broaden sales process
