Finite Carbon has launched a forest carbon offset program in Canada that offers forestland owners and First Nations an opportunity to manage their lands to remove and store carbon dioxide, and receive revenue generated from the sale of the offsets.
The new program was created following the recent approval of the Methodology for Improved Forest Management (IFM) on Canadian Forestlands, by the American Carbon Registry (ACR). Finite Carbon is working with First Nations, Métis communities, and other Canadian forestland owners to address the climate crisis by removing and storing carbon in Canada’s vast forestlands.
With 9% of the world’s forests in Canada, the country’s forestland owners are in a unique position to play a major role in the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Now, with the approval of the new protocol, which provides a rigorous scientific framework for offset project development, registration and verification of emission reductions resulting from forest carbon projects on eligible Canadian lands, there is a new pathway for privately held Canadian forestlands to play a role in carbon reductions.
The ACR IFM methodology for Canadian Forestlands builds upon a methodology that is already widely used in the U.S. It is available to all Canadian forestland owners who are not subject to provincial or federal forest management regulations.
Finite Carbon is the leading developer and supplier of forest carbon offsets and other nature-based solutions to climate change.
