In a rapidly de-carbonizing global economy, forest landowners and their service providers are seeing a growing demand for forest carbon offsets in the voluntary market. Since the launch of California’s cap-and-trade program in 2013, many landowners have engaged in forest offset projects and generated significant revenue from their sustainably managed forests. However, due to market access barriers including very high project development costs, most forest landowners have been effectively blocked from participating in the offset market. To overcome these challenges, Finite Carbon and partners are developing innovative carbon offset project development solutions that use new technologies to significantly reduce project inventory and verification costs. In addition to charting a path to market for landowners of a more modest size, this session will give participants a working knowledge of forest offset project development mechanics, roles and responsibilities of project partners, deal structures, project costs and revenues, and offset market volume and price forecasts.
