CARBON
SELLING
Carbon Selling allows forest owners to unlock an additional income stream from the carbon their forest captures. It works by measuring your forest’s carbon value, certifying the project under an independent standard, and selling verified carbon credits to businesses and individuals looking to meet sustainability objectives.
With The Forestry Company and our partner Origin Xero, we assess your forest’s carbon potential, confirm eligibility, and guide you through a clear agreement and onboarding process. The project is then set up for independent validation and verification, with ongoing monitoring and reporting. Verified carbon credits are brought to market through Ireland’s first certified carbon platform.
Why The Forestry Company?
- We manage the forestry side properly, keeping your forest healthy and valuable over time.
- We support the information, checks, and ongoing oversight needed for carbon certification and monitoring.
- We work with specialist carbon partners at Origin Xero to bring your project to market and maximise long-term returns.
- You deal with one experienced team, from first assessment to ongoing support.
- And best of all, any carbon income generated goes side by side with your existing grant payments.
