Who it is for

Support for NGOs, communities, developers, landowners and funders

If you have a project concept, community programme or land-based opportunity, we can help assess whether carbon finance is suitable and guide the project through the steps needed for credible delivery.

For partners, project development support can help assess early opportunities, shape robust project design and prepare for credible long-term delivery.

01

Feasibility

We help assess whether a project concept has the data, geography, partners and methodology fit needed for carbon finance.

02

Certification pathway

Support can include project design, methodology selection, validation planning, monitoring systems and issuance preparation.

03

Long-term delivery

Strong projects need implementation discipline, community engagement, risk management and credible evidence over time.

Process

From project idea to delivery plan

The right pathway depends on project type, geography, methodology and delivery partners, but the core journey should be clear before major decisions are made.

1

Scope

Understand the project concept, location, partners, potential impact and early feasibility questions.

2

Assess

Review methodology fit, data requirements, eligibility, risks, safeguards and likely development pathway.

3

Design

Build the project plan, monitoring approach, certification route and implementation model.

4

Deliver

Move into project implementation, validation, monitoring, verification and issuance support.

Quality and evidence

Designed for projects that can stand up to scrutiny

Strong carbon projects need additionality, reliable data, local buy-in, appropriate methodology selection and long-term delivery plans. CO2balance helps partners test these fundamentals early.

  • Early assessment of additionality, data availability and methodology suitability.
  • Support with certification planning, monitoring design and implementation readiness.
  • Practical guidance from a team with more than 20 years of carbon project experience.
  • A focus on projects that are credible, deliverable and beneficial for local communities.
