The company has sold more than 10m carbon credits and counts Yara and Syngenta among its partners.
A British company has sold biochar carbon credits at a £200 per ton price point, pointing to a new opportunity for farmers and landowners. Here’s how the market works.
The vehicle is invested exclusively across French timberland and has amassed a 35,000ha portfolio.
The firm will invest almost $40m into the project, which will be deployed from its Climate Investor Two fund.
The vehicle closed on $130m in 2024 and has made forestry plantation and infrastructure investments in Thailand and Laos.
The asset was sold by the firm’s Australia and New Zealand Forestry Fund 2, which closed on A$707m in 2014.
The country’s agtech sector has fallen behind on fundraising in comparison to the US and several other European and Asian countries.
The 2022-vintage fell marginally short of its £400m target and has received commitments from a range of LPs.
The firm has not previously raised a $100m-plus closed-end vehicle but is now in market with two distinct vehicles that have a combined $500m target.
The buyers in the deal, which includes Soya Group, have struck a 15-year supply agreement with Stora Enso.
