We support projects that conserve forests.

EP Carbon leverages carbon markets to finance conservation projects throughout the world.

Natural Capital Acceleration

We provide accelerated access to private capital to scope, launch and operate projects: conservation, restoration and agroforestry.

We create financial value through forest conservation. Our work uses carbon markets to monetize the avoided emissions when healthy forests are maintained.

6.1 Million Hectares Protected

379.5 MMT CO2e Emissions Reduced

Who we partner with:

We work with forest owners and NGOs to design, finance and implement carbon projects.

Carbon credits can fund the conservation of your forest while providing a long-term source of revenue. Our projects reduce carbon emissions from forests through sustainable conservation and restoration activities.

Healthy forest ecosystems sustain biodiversity, water quality, skilled jobs, and other community benefits, including funding for schools.

We bring conservation finance to forests throughout the world.

Recent Projects

Indonesia

The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project

The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project protects 640 square kilometers of critical orangutan habitat while channeling carbon revenues into impact activities that promote socioeconomic growth for tens of thousands of people.

Project financing

We start with a feasibility and design assessment to determine the full cost of a project.

For ideas with the most potential impact, we have dedicated funding to cover the assessment cost. The feasibility and design assessment not only accurately determines the cost of a project, but can also attract potential investors.

Financing requirements to develop and implement the projects vary, depending on factors including the complexity of the activities. Development and implementation costs may range from US $50K to US $3M or more.
