Carbonext

Carbonext is a Brazilian company that develops forest preservation and restoration projects and related carbon services for organizations and individuals. Its project portfolio is concentrated in the Amazon and adjacent regions, and is composed of REDD+ (reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) projects. Named projects include Awa (66,443 ha, Gurupá, Pará), Caapii (33,927 ha, Paragominas, Pará), Tatuy (22,724 ha, Tabaporã and Porto dos Gaúchos, Mato Grosso), Angelim (22,168 ha, Aripuanã, Castanheira and Juína, Mato Grosso), Hiwi (20,418 ha, Bujari, Acre) and Ipoá (17,330 ha, Nova Aripuanã, Amazonas).

Alongside forest conservation, the company keeps forests standing while investing in community development programs, job creation and training. Its stated approach combines technical expertise, advanced monitoring technology and an auditing system. The company also publicly states that it does not develop projects on indigenous lands and warns that anyone approaching landowners about such projects while claiming to represent Carbonext is committing fraud.

Business model

Carbonext develops forest carbon projects in partnership with landowners and offers carbon and decarbonization services to corporate and individual clients, positioning carbon as an additional income stream (described as Brazil's "fourth crop") for owners of standing forest.

Revenue is tied to carbon credit project development and corporate services such as decarbonization journeys, emissions inventories and emissions compensation.

Traction

The company reports 7.3 million hectares monitored, 10 projects under development, 5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided, 4,775 families benefited, and 1,785 fauna and 1,684 flora species protected.
