Problem
Forest carbon offset projects often suffer from opaque verification, high upfront costs for landowners, and limited access to reliable, high-integrity credits, which hampers confidence among buyers and restricts participation of small landholders.

The program partners with small landowners in Maine, covering all upfront costs and offering a 65% profit‑share of project revenue, enabling landowners to enroll properties of 25 acres or more at no initial expense. Continuous remote sensing and third‑party verification ensure data quality and transparency, while the Apollo app provides buyers with real‑time project insights for due diligence. By aligning scientific rigor, technology, and guaranteed offtake commitments, Renoster creates a trusted supply of nature‑based carbon removals.
