Whether you have land and are considering starting your own forest carbon project or an established project developer tackling your next effort, you can leverage Pachama’s technology and finance matching to jump-start your next project.

Currently, Pachama’s reforestation partner portal is for anyone looking to start a native reforestation carbon project in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, or Argentina. We plan to expand project types and regions in the future.

Reforestation and afforestation projects, part of a category of projects known as ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation), restore degraded land back to forest or create forest infrastructure where none existed before. These projects’ credits are carbon removal credits because planting trees draws carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. They differ from other nature-based forest carbon projects that focus on avoidance, such as conservation projects, which aim to protect existing forests from deforestation, or improved forest management projects, which employ advanced techniques to improve the carbon storage potential of an existing working forest.

While Pachama’s partner portal hopes to support the origination of future conservation projects, we currently focus primarily on reforestation carbon projects.

Yes! Getting started with Pachama is free for project partners and requires no commitment. Pachama enables partners to apply to receive up-front capital in order to cover the costs of project implementation.

Pachama is a trusted partner of leading corporates and investors taking climate action through investments in nature. Through the reforestation portal, project developers can showcase their projects to Pachama’s network of potential investors and customers.

Pachama brings transaction expertise to support contract structures that benefit buyers and sellers. Pachama supports an up-front investment model, where either corporate off-takers make an upfront investment in exchange for 100% of carbon credits generated from a project, or a project is backed by investment until credits can be generated and sold.

At Pachama, we’re convinced that forests are the world’s most scalable carbon removal technology and will play a decisive role in helping prevent the worst effects of climate change. In doing so, forests will create sustainable jobs, protect biodiversity and strengthen ecosystem services.

To achieve our goal of driving the conservation and reforestation of forests, Pachama works with values-aligned and mission-driven project developers to bring the highest-quality forest carbon projects to market.

Pachama uniquely offers both financing and technology to project developers in order to accelerate our shared mission.
