Programme Type Questions

Common questions about our carbon programme portfolio, investment criteria, and development timelines.

Blue Carbon programmes typically offer the highest revenue range ($18–30/tCO₂e) due to their exceptional co‑benefits and growing demand in voluntary carbon markets. However, returns vary based on project scale, location, and methodology.

Timelines range from 1–5 years depending on the programme type. Agricultural Carbon can generate credits in 1–3 years, while Reforestation projects typically take 3–5 years to reach full issuance capacity.

All programmes are developed to meet the highest international standards, including VCS (Verified Carbon Standard), CCB (Climate, Community & Biodiversity), Gold Standard, and ART TREES for jurisdictional REDD+ programmes.

Yes, many states opt for a diversified portfolio that combines Avoided Deforestation with Reforestation and Agricultural Carbon to spread risk and maximise land‑use efficiency across different ecological zones.

Avoided Deforestation is ideal for tropical forests with high carbon stocks. Reforestation suits degraded lands and agricultural mosaics. Blue Carbon focuses on mangroves and coastal zones. Agricultural Carbon is designed for croplands, pastures, and rice paddies.
