Forty Seven C leverages its expertise in Project Finance, Capital Solutions, and Corporate Advisory to help clients navigate this complex landscape.
| Focus Area | Client Value | Alignment with Existing Services |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Asset Origination & Structuring | Monetizing Sustainability: We help clients with large-scale land assets (e.g., forestry, agriculture, or renewable energy) establish and register high-integrity carbon offset projects (Verra, Gold Standard) to generate Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) as a new, recurring revenue stream. | Project & Infrastructure Finance: Applying complex financial modeling, risk assessment, and technical due diligence to a new type of asset (carbon offset projects). |
| Strategic Procurement & Due Diligence | De-Risking Net-Zero Claims: For corporations needing to offset unavoidable emissions, we provide expert guidance on sourcing, vetting, and purchasing high-quality credits (compliance and voluntary markets). We ensure credits meet the strictest integrity standards, protecting the client’s reputation and Net-Zero strategy. | Corporate Advisory & Restructuring: Integrating carbon strategy directly into the business model, managing associated regulatory and reputational risk, and optimizing costs related to sustainability mandates. |
| Carbon Funding & Capital Raising | Accelerating Climate Action: We structure specialized blended finance instruments (equity, debt, or hybrid) dedicated to funding climate-positive projects that generate both financial returns and high-integrity carbon credits, linking project developers with impact-focused institutional capital. | Capital Solutions & Funding: Using our network and structuring expertise to raise capital for projects where the future stream of carbon credits serves as collateral or a core component of the project's financial feasibility. |
