Finite Carbon is North America’s leading developer and supplier of forest carbon offsets.

We value forest landowners as full project partners and deliver the industry’s highest quality forest offset project financing and development services.

We take on all project issuance risk and expense and manage all development phases in-house. Only when a project is successfully registered do we receive a small share of project returns.

We support and train our clients to ensure their carbon project fully integrates with their forest ownership goals and timber operations.

Projects

Our work takes us to every corner of the continent, connecting us with a remarkably diverse group of landowners. In November 2013, Finite Carbon developed and registered the Downeast Lakes Farm Cove Community Forest, California’s very first compliance offset project. Since then, we’ve generated over one-third of all compliance offset supply and delivered more than a half-billion dollars to our landowners. Finite’s project portfolio now includes nearly three million acres of working forestland representing every region and major forest type from the Appalachians to coastal Alaska.
