Highland Carbon is a carbon offsetting partner with a difference. We maximise the woodland and peatland carbon value of Scottish estates in three ways. Firstly, we help to shape and describe projects according to their biodiversity and conservation merits, thus achieving a high listed price point. Secondly, we offer a carbon price tracker so that the income to each estate increases with any growth in the carbon market. Thirdly, we take a much smaller broker commission than is typical. With a single transaction, one of our landowner clients recently earned several hundred thousand pounds! Highland Carbon was founded in 2018 by a zoologist with experience in international conservation and large-scale habitat restoration projects in the UK. We form sales agreements with landowners before projects are listed on the carbon exchange. This achieves a predictable supply of projects that we can actively market and sell in order to optimise landowner income.
