Green MTN Token
Bringing Real World Impact
A Global First
The Green MTN Token is a straightforward, institutional-grade structure that combines:
-
a traditional fixed-income investment (a Medium-Term Note), and
-
the purchase of a verified, tokenised carbon credit from the Shabunda project,
issued together under a single, clearly defined framework.
The product is designed for institutions and family offices seeking predictable fixed-income exposure while directly owning a real, verifiable environmental asset in modern digital form.
How it Works
Each Green MTN Token comprises two linked components:
1) MTN Investment
You invest £100 into an issued Medium-Term Note. The note pays interest over its term and returns principal at maturity, subject to the terms and issuer credit risk. (Available in US$ equivalent.)
2) Tokenised Carbon Credit
You separately purchase one verified carbon credit, issued in tokenised form, for £50. (Available in US$ equivalent.)
This credit originates from the Shabunda forest carbon project and is digitally represented to enable clear ownership, traceability, and lifecycle tracking.
Total subscription amount per token: £150 (Available in US$ equivalent.)
The Shabunda Tokenised Carbon Credit
The carbon credit linked to each Green MTN Token is generated by the Shabunda project, a large-scale forest conservation and avoided deforestation programme in the Congo Basin designed to deliver measurable, permanent, and additional climate outcomes at institutional scale.
Each Shabunda carbon credit represents verified, ex-post carbon impact, underpinned by a methodology that prioritises direct measurement of atmospheric carbon flux rather than reliance solely on modelled estimates. This materially strengthens confidence in the integrity, accuracy, and durability of the credited outcomes.
Each credit is:
-
Independently verified under internationally recognised standards
-
Paris Agreement aligned and structured to meet international compliance and voluntary market requirements
-
Supported by performance insurance, providing protection against non delivery or under-performance risk
-
Demonstrably additional, with credit proceeds directly enabling long-term forest protection, monitoring, and governance that would not occur in the absence of carbon finance
-
Issued in tokenised form, enabling transparent, auditable ownership and lifecycle tracking
Tokenisation does not alter the environmental substance of the credit; it provides a secure digital representation that enhances settlement efficiency, traceability, and institutional-grade reporting.
Comprehensive verification reports, insurance documentation, and supporting technical materials are made available to counterparties as part of formal buyer due diligence.
What happens to your tokenised carbon credit?
Option A — Held in tokenised form
The tokenised credit is held on your behalf or transferred to your nominated wallet or custodian, allowing you to retain ownership for future use or allocation.
Option B — Retired on your behalf
If you prefer, the tokenised credit can be retired, permanently removing it from circulation. Retirement is recorded on the registry and reflected in the token lifecycle, with confirmation issued in your name.
Why combine an MTN with a tokenised carbon credit?
The Green MTN Token is designed to meet growing institutional demand for investments that combine:
-
predictable financial returns, and
-
credible, verifiable climate action.
This structure provides:
-
Fixed-income economics through the MTN
-
Direct ownership of a carbon credit, clearly priced and tokenised
-
Clear accounting separation between the £100 financial investment and the £50 environmental asset
-
Improved transparency through digital issuance and tracking
Tokenisation enhances efficiency and auditability, not risk.
Designed for Institutions and Family Offices
The Green MTN Token is intended for professional investors and supports institutional expectations around:
-
robust documentation and governance
-
independent verification and audit trails
-
optional custody and reporting solutions
-
scalable allocations and tranche-based participation
The product is not designed for retail distribution or speculative trading.
Important Notes
-
The MTN and the tokenised carbon credit are distinct components, issued together.
-
The £50 carbon credit is purchased by the investor, not embedded or bundled for free.
-
Tokenisation refers to digital representation and settlement, not cryptocurrency exposure.
-
The MTN carries issuer and market risks as detailed in the offering documentation.
