We are always eager to have conversations with conservation minded business owners and land owners who are either looking to participate in the certified international carbon offset markets or need strategic and guided support with their eco-tourism business. If you feel that you fit into the criteria below, please reach out directly to info@chaiiinvestments.com.
Criteria for Carbon Credit Project Submission:
Ownership/Use of Land
Many landowners that can benefit from these projects have lands that generate no to very little economic benefit. The transition of these lands can provide for numerous ancillary economic benefits for the landowners in tax savings, enhanced soil/water/fauna quality in adjoining lands, scenic viewsheds, conservation cash incentives, and financial partnership with a verified purchaser.
Intention
Our partnerships with landowners are extremely long. Not only do they enter into contractual arrangements to ensure conservation the underlying intention is conservation. We obtain verified and foundational assurances of this intention before selecting a project for our portfolio.
Size
We have found that certifying projects less than 100 acres does not make economic sense for the landowner, project sponsor, and the developer.
Land Type
Land should be adjacent to conservation areas and been previously deforested or degraded. Carbon credit project viability operates under the premise of additionality which requires more carbon to be offset through the culmination of a project (usually this means planting additional trees on land that has been previously deforested.)
