Problem
Brazil has significant potential for nature-based carbon projects but transacted only US$25 million in carbon credits in 2021, hindered by issues such as double counting of credits, erroneously scaled methodologies, and a lack of transparency in project permanence.

Plan-C designs and implements customized carbon projects grounded in robust scientific methodologies and aligned with any international certification body, generating credits that are methodological, auditable, and ready for compliance markets. The company builds a solid pipeline of nature-based solution (NbS) projects that deliver multiple benefits beyond carbon fixation, including climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. Plan-C provides an agnostic approach to certifications, ensuring compliance and transparency across the entire project lifecycle, and packages assets so that credits are organized and ready for market transaction.
Target Audience
Primary customers are carbon credit buyers, including corporations and investors seeking compliance-ready credits, as well as project developers and suppliers looking for organized, transparent carbon assets in Brazil's emerging NbS market.
