About finite carbon
Since our founding in 2009, Finite Carbon has been a pioneer of the carbon markets, developing cutting-edge solutions to advance high-integrity forest carbon project development. We’ve developed more than 60 forest carbon projects across nearly 4 million acres in the voluntary and compliance markets, including California’s very first compliance offset project, and have generated over one-third of California’s compliance offset supply.
To date, our developed projects have generated over 100 million offsets which have delivered more than $1 billion in carbon revenue to indigenous communities, land trusts, family landowners, TIMOs, REITs, and the local communities surrounding the forests. Our carbon projects also provide critical co-benefits like cleaner air and water, the creation of jobs, improved public health, enhanced biodiversity, and more—promoting lasting environmental stewardship and long-term economic resilience.
our services
At Finite Carbon, we offer an end-to-end solution for North American landowners, providing access to carbon markets through forest carbon project development and commercialization. We ensure landowners maximize both revenue and impact while benefiting from the most comprehensive service in the North American forest carbon market.
We don’t just follow best practices; we develop them.
By refining methodologies, investing in cutting-edge research, and continuously advancing technology, we are committed to developing the highest integrity forest carbon projects in the industry. Every project is rigorously monitored, verified, and registered to ensure carbon sequestration is real, additional, permanent, and verifiable.
As the market evolves, so do we. Our expertise enables us to deploy advanced tools and innovative approaches, ensuring we remain leaders in forest carbon development.
A FOREST-FIRST APPROACH
We take a hands-on role in every project we develop. By working closely with our clients, we ensure their goals align with the environmental and economic benefits that forest carbon projects can provide. Nearly half of our team holds forestry degrees, and many are certified and registered professional foresters, bringing a deep understanding of forest ecosystems to every project.
DRIVING INNOVATION AND INSTILLING TRUST
Finite Carbon works with top registries like ACR and the Climate Action Reserve (CAR) to enhance methodologies for transparency and reliability. In 2010, we authored ACR’s first Improved Forest Management methodology for U.S. forestlands, a key standard for forest carbon projects.
Our investment in research and development has led to cutting-edge advancements, including remote sensing tools that streamline and optimize project development. Our CORE Carbon® platform democratizes access to the carbon market, earning recognition through awards such as Google’s Geo for Good Award.
We connect landowners seeking to protect, restore and sustainably manage their forests with companies investing in natural climate solutions, fostering essential relationships for climate change mitigation and carbon finance.
