Carbon Projects

Carbon Finance

Our carbon finance services enable project developers to get through certification for carbon credits in order to ultimately market and sell the carbon credits in exchange for capital. This is an alternative fundraising method for carbon projects.

Our Carbon Financing Services

We have been working in the climate change sector for more than 7 years now, so we have seen pretty much every type of situation. Our team of experts has consulted over 50 projects during their development phase, so we know what needs to be done before you even start your project. We will guide you through the process from beginning to end – from developing your proposal into a viable investment opportunity, to executing the plan, acquiring investors and developers – all within strict regulations dictated by government organizations such as CDM Executive Board (CDM EB) and UNFCCC.

General Questions


Hi there! Have some questions about carbon finance? Find the answers below. 

  • What are voluntary carbon markets?

    Voluntary carbon markets are a system of trading credits for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They are often used by private companies to reduce their carbon footprint.


    These voluntary carbon markets work by giving companies or organizations that emit less than their allotted quota of greenhouse gases, credits that they can sell to other companies who need them to meet their quota. This system helps create incentives for reducing emissions and allows organizations to buy credits at a cheaper price than it would take to reduce emissions on their own.


  • Carbon credits, what are they?

    Certified carbon credits are the right to emit one ton of greenhouse gas emissions. They are created by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) or Joint Implementation (JI) projects.


    The CDM is a project that gives industrialized nations an opportunity to invest in projects in developing countries. These projects can reduce emissions and produce certified carbon credits, which they can then sell to companies in industrialized nations who need to offset their emissions.


    JI is a project that offers companies in industrialized nations an opportunity to invest in emission reduction projects in developing countries. These projects generate certified carbon credits, which they can then sell on the open market, often for profit.

  • What is the price for one metric tonne of CO2 reduction?

    The price of carbon depends on many factors, including the projects location, how old the carbon credits are, and the certification body.

  • Who can purchase carbon credits?

    Carbon credits are available to everyone who are interested in reducing their carbon footprint.


    The cost of a carbon credit varies on the type of project that they would like to invest in.


    However, for large projects,  carbon credits are often purchased by corporations.

  • What is the purpose of carbon credits?

    Carbon credits are a way to compensate for the greenhouse gases that are emitted by factories, power plants, and other industries. The goal is to decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in order to prevent global warming.

  • What is the process for certifying carbon credits?

    The process for certifying carbon credits is not standardized. It can depend on the type of project, the country, and the type of certification body.

  • How are carbon credits certified?

    A carbon credit is certified when it has been verified by an accredited organization. This verification process can be done in two ways:


    Verification by an independent third party, which is usually a government agency or a reputable non-governmental organization.


    We mainly carry out verifications through:


  • What are the fees?

    The cost to certify carbon credits varies depending on the type of project. It can be as low as $300,000 for a small-scale project or as high as $2,000,000 for a large-scale project.


    It is important to note that there are a number of factors that influence the cost of certifying carbon credits. These include:


    - The type of project being certified


    - The number of credits being registered


    - The size and complexity of the project


    - The geographic location where the project is located


    The aforementioned fees are paid by the client in full to Financely Group upon contract signature. 


    Our compensation per credit sold is 35%. 


    If we succesfully carry out the certification US$ 100,000,000  worth of carbon credits, market them and sell them to a Buyer, via an exchange or OTC, we will retain US$ 35,000,000.

  • What are the benefits of certifying carbon credits?

    The main benefits incldue: 


    • Being able to sell carbon credits at the daily spot price on any market place or OTC. 
    • Obtaining funding for projects that would otherwise not necessarily be attractive to short-term investors looking for higher returns.

  • What qualifies as a carbon project?

    Carbon projects are initiatives that are aimed at reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 


    They can be divided into three types: mitigation, adaptation, and geoengineering. 


    Mitigation is the most common type of carbon project. It is an effort to reduce future emissions through changes in energy production and consumption, transportation, agriculture, and forestry. 


    Adaptation is a project that aims to limit or offset the effects of climate change by improving infrastructure or developing new technologies. 


    Geoengineering is a more controversial type of carbon project where humans are taking deliberate actions to counteract greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale.

  • Can a company have more than one carbon project?

    Yes, a company can have more than one carbon project. A company can have multiple carbon credits projects, but only one of them will be the designated carbon project. The designated carbon project is the company’s main focus for its sustainability efforts.

  • Difference between carbon projects and renewable energy projects?

    A carbon project is a project that is designed to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. 


    Renewable energy projects are designed to produce energy from renewable resources such as wind, solar, and geothermal.


    Carbon projects are often implemented by corporations or governments when they want to reduce their carbon footprint. 


    Renewable energy projects are often implemented by private citizens or companies that want to save money on their electricity bill.

  • The difference between a carbon credit and a carbon offset?

    A carbon credit is a permit or certificate that is traded within the international market. It is issued to an entity that has reduced its CO2 emissions below the level it is allowed by law.


    A carbon offset is a means of compensating for greenhouse gas emissions from an activity or product by investing in projects that reduce CO2 emissions elsewhere, often in developing countries.

  • How long does it take to certify carbon credits?

    The length of time it takes to certify carbon credits will depend on the type of certification you are completing. A Gold Standard certification can take anywhere from six months to one year, while a Verified Carbon Standard certification typically takes about three months.
