Our blue carbon business is led by Key Carbon, where we pioneer innovative financing and project development strategies to restore and protect vital coastal ecosystems, with a special focus on mangrove restoration. Through high-integrity carbon credits and tangible environmental benefits, we’re transforming blue carbon opportunities into lasting climate solutions.

Key Carbon

Our Mission

From our inception, Key Carbon has been dedicated to building high-integrity carbon projects that bridge the gap between investors and on-the-ground impact. It’s where ambition meets action—where financial innovation, scientific rigor, and strategic partnerships converge to deliver tangible climate solutions.

What We Do

We identify and finance the best operating models to reduce climate change:
Key Carbon’s expertise spans the entire carbon project lifecycle – from identifying transformative opportunities and structuring finance to overseeing delivery and ensuring rigorous measurement and verification. We enter partnerships that drive real change, enabling projects that reduce emissions, restore ecosystems, and empower communities.

Driving Real-World Results
Our track record includes landmark projects such as:

Mangrove Restoration Partnership with Worldview
Recognizing the vital role of coastal ecosystems, we partnered with the Worldview International Foundation to invest in large-scale mangrove restoration — addressing biodiversity loss, strengthening coastal resilience, and sequestering carbon at scale.

In 2022, our joint efforts focused on Bokepyin Township, Myanmar, where the region’s mangrove ecosystems have been severely degraded by unsustainable land use, climate change, and industrial pressures. Through this partnership, 3.75 million mangrove trees have been planted across 1,500 hectares of degraded coastal land, revitalizing the landscape and providing a lifeline for local communities.

This project is expected to sequester approximately 1.9 million tonnes of CO₂e over the next 25 years, contributing significantly to climate mitigation goals. However, its impact extends well beyond carbon sequestration:

  • Biodiversity Hotspot: Restored mangroves support a rich variety of marine life, including fish nurseries, crustaceans, and endangered species, enhancing overall ecosystem health.
  • Community Benefits: The project creates meaningful employment for local residents, empowering them with skills and income opportunities tied directly to ecosystem stewardship.
  • Climate Resilience: Mangroves act as natural buffers against storm surges and coastal erosion, protecting vulnerable communities from the impacts of climate change.
  • Sustainable Development Goals: The project aligns with multiple SDGs, including Climate Action (13), Life Below Water (14), Life on Land (15), and Decent Work and Economic Growth (8).

Key Carbon’s role in this initiative goes beyond finance: we bring technical expertise, long-term investment, and a commitment to rigorous carbon accounting to ensure the project’s integrity and scalability. By working with Worldview, we demonstrate how nature-based solutions can deliver robust, science-driven carbon removals while advancing community development and biodiversity conservation.

Our Approach

Finance as a Force for Good
Key Carbon was founded on the belief that carbon finance can be both a powerful driver of climate action and a compelling investment. We leverage innovative investment structures that de-risk carbon projects for investors while ensuring returns are aligned with meaningful environmental outcomes. Our approach empowers investors to channel capital into projects with verified, additional, and permanent carbon benefits.

Integrity and Transparency
In an evolving carbon market, trust is everything. Key Carbon maintains the highest standards of project assessment and due diligence — working closely with partners and independent verifiers to ensure every credit issued is backed by robust data and aligned with industry best practices.

Collaboration at the Core
We believe the climate crisis requires collective action. Key Carbon fosters partnerships across the value chain – from developers and technology providers to corporate buyers and third-party investors – to unlock synergies and accelerate progress toward net zero.

Our Vision

At Key Carbon, we envision a world where every tonne of carbon reduced or removed drives both climate progress and economic opportunity. By combining financial innovation, rigorous project development, and strategic collaboration, we empower businesses, investors, and communities to be part of the solution.
