Carbon Project Development

At SFM, we recognize the critical role of nature-based assets in mitigating climate change. As a vertically integrated natural asset manager with a robust 20-year history in plantation management, we combine traditional forestry practices with innovative plantation carbon project development to deliver commercial, environmental, and social benefits. 

Our cross-functional team, comprising experts in both carbon and forestry sectors, is uniquely positioned to support a wide range of stakeholders including companies seeking carbon solutions, landowners, governments, investors, and fund managers. We work closely with our clients to understand the purpose of each project, ensuring we maximize financial returns through our full turn-key solutions. 

From the acquisition phase, where we identify and assess targets for project development, to the Carbon Project Lodgement with the Clean Energy Regulator, our approach is meticulous and data-driven. We utilize cutting-edge technologies such as remote sensing, geospatial data analysis, and machine learning to enhance operational efficiency, minimize environmental impacts, and strengthen our clients' resilience in a dynamic climate paradigm. 

Once projects are developed and lodged, our dedicated forestry team manages all aspects of land management including acquisition, establishment, and ongoing maintenance. Simultaneously, our experienced carbon analysts handle the application and registration of the carbon project, managing ongoing reporting and data requirements for both government and clients. 

Our flexible plantation carbon development platform allows us to cater to diverse client needs—whether it's developing a single project aggregating multiple properties, or running a program of acquisitions. This platform, combined with our commitment to sustainability and innovation, empowers us to forecast future needs and act nimbly, taking calculated risks to optimize the potential of your existing land holdings.
