Develop carbon projects

Green Future Project Group develops carbon projects for public bodies, private companies, landowners, farming businesses, consortia, foundations and managers of natural areas who have land suitable for conservation, ecosystem restoration, carbon farming, reforestation or afforestation initiatives. Our team supports partners through every stage of the project, from the preliminary feasibility check to certification and the commercialisation of carbon credits. We develop Blue Carbon, Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation (ARR), REDD+ and Carbon Farming projects, verifying from the outset the technical, economic and regulatory feasibility of the initiative, as well as compliance with the requirements of international certification standards.

Developing a carbon project generally takes between 2 and 4 years before the first issuance of carbon credits. Timelines depend on the type of project, the availability of initial data, activities already carried out on the ground and the certification standard adopted. During this period, the design, validation, implementation and verification activities needed to obtain certification are carried out.

Green Future Project Group develops projects according to the leading international standards of the voluntary carbon market, including Verra (VCS), the International Carbon Registry (ICR) and other standards recognised for their high environmental integrity. Using international standards ensures that carbon credits are verified by independent bodies, recognised globally and usable by companies as part of their own climate strategies, including those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and ISO 14068.

Additionality demonstrates that a project generates climate benefits that would not have occurred without the funding provided by carbon credits. To obtain certification, it must be shown that the planned interventions are not standard land management practice and that they would be economically or technically difficult to carry out without the carbon project. The criteria used to verify additionality depend on the methodology and certification standard applied.

If the project fails independent verification, carbon credits cannot be issued. To reduce this risk, Green Future Project Group carries out an in-depth feasibility analysis before starting the certification process. This phase makes it possible to identify any technical, regulatory or design issues and forms the basis of the documentation needed to develop the project.

The main buyers of carbon credits are companies that use them to support their own climate and decarbonisation goals on the voluntary carbon market. Interest is also growing among public institutions, governments and new regulated mechanisms, which may use high-quality credits as part of their own climate and transition policies.

No. The carbon projects developed by Green Future Project Group also produce measurable environmental and social benefits. Depending on the type of project, they can contribute to biodiversity restoration, the protection of water resources, improved soil quality, increased ecosystem resilience, the return of wildlife and the socioeconomic development of local communities. Many of these impacts can be measured and certified through standards dedicated to co-benefits.

There is no minimum area that applies to every carbon project. Feasibility depends on several factors, including the type of ecosystem, the planned interventions, the potential for removing or reducing emissions, development and certification costs, and the international standard adopted. That is why Green Future Project Group carries out a preliminary feasibility assessment, in which we analyse the characteristics of the area, land titles, the additionality of the project and its potential to generate carbon credits. Only after this analysis can we determine whether the project meets the technical, economic and environmental requirements to be developed and certified.
