Expert Carbon Project Development & Consultancy

Carbon Project Development & Consultancy

FG Capital Advisors is a leader in developing high-impact, community-focused carbon projects. We extend our expertise to NGOs and businesses aiming to certify their projects under established carbon standards, helping them tap into additional revenue through carbon finance. Our experienced team has successfully developed numerous projects across the top carbon standards, including The Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), and The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).

We offer end-to-end management of the carbon project lifecycle, from conducting feasibility studies to the issuance of carbon credits. Additionally, we provide specialized consultancy on specific aspects of project development, such as baseline assessments, project design, stakeholder engagement, monitoring, validation, and credit issuance.

For organizations already proficient in carbon project development, FG Capital Advisors offers licensing options for our Programmes of Activities (PoAs), providing a streamlined and cost-effective path to market. If you're interested in collaboration, book a consultation with us.

Licensing & Programmatic Approaches

At FG Capital Advisors, we are at the forefront of programmatic carbon finance. We have developed frameworks that facilitate carbon credit generation from domestic-level energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water treatment technologies. Our programmatic approach allows multiple small-scale projects to achieve carbon credit issuance more efficiently and affordably.

Streamlining Small-Scale Carbon Projects

Historically, certifying smaller carbon projects has been challenging due to high costs and long timelines, which often outweighed the benefits of the credits generated. This has particularly hindered projects in lower-emission regions. To address this issue, frameworks like The Gold Standard’s microscale Programmes of Activities (mPoAs) have been developed, making it easier and more cost-effective for small projects to participate in carbon markets.

These frameworks allow eligible projects to be bundled under a single program, significantly reducing the time and expense involved in certification and credit issuance.

FG Capital’s Programmatic Solutions

FG Capital Advisors has developed multiple Programmes of Activities designed to support small-scale projects, particularly in regions where carbon finance can have a substantial impact. We work with technologies like Improved Cookstoves, Solar Photovoltaic systems, and Water Treatment solutions to help our clients achieve their sustainability goals.

Our approach provides a faster route to carbon credit issuance, with FG Capital Advisors taking on the responsibility of project screening to ensure they meet our rigorous eligibility criteria. This reduces the risks and costs typically associated with carbon project development.
