Nature Based Credits – High Integrity – Performance Insured – Tokenised – Credit Rated

Nature Based High Integrity Insured Credits

Go4Carbon is proud to present a landmark development in nature based carbon markets

A Global First

Go4Carbon is proud to present a landmark development in nature-based carbon markets: Shabunda Carbon, a programme built on a scientific and risk framework that has not been used before at commercial scale in nature-based carbon. This is a huge change in how nature based carbon outcomes are measured, verified, and protected.

A Real Nature Based Methodology

A new scientific methodology

Most nature-based carbon credits rely on estimation-based modelling and assumptions about what would have happened without a project. That approach has enabled market growth, but it also introduces uncertainty, debate, and inconsistent pricing. Congo Carbon applies a ground-breaking scientific methodology designed to measure carbon outcomes with far greater confidence.

It is the first nature-based carbon programme to anchor crediting around direct measurement of atmospheric carbon flux, rather than relying solely on proxy indicators and forecast models. This moves the market from estimating outcomes to evidencing outcomes.

The first time nature-based credits use direct measurement

Direct measurement changes what a nature-based credit represents.

It reduces reliance on baselines and counterfactual assumptions.

It increases the auditability and defensibility of outcomes.

It improves suitability for institutional procurement, disclosure, and assurance.

Most importantly, it changes how nature-based credits can be valued, because value becomes more closely linked to measured performance rather than modelled expectation.

A global first in permanence insurance

These structures are designed to:

  • Increase the financial value of high quality credits
  • Improve bankability for project developers
  • Attract long-term institutional capital
  • Accelerate the deployment of funding into credible carbon projects
  • Our goal is to ensure carbon markets can operate at the scale, reliability, and professionalism required to support global decarbonisation.

High integrity credits designed for institutional standards

The Congo Carbon framework is built to meet the rising expectations of sophisticated buyers, including corporates, data centre operators, financial institutions, and advisors.

High integrity is achieved through:

  • A science-led approach based on direct measurement

  • Independent verification and transparent governance

  • A structure designed for long-dated supply and procurement planning

  • Optional risk mitigation through permanence insurance

This is nature-based carbon engineered for institutional scrutiny.

Scale and long-term supply certainty

High integrity supply is increasingly constrained across global markets. Congo Carbon is designed to address this with strong volumes of credible, long-dated supply, supporting buyers who require meaningful scale and continuity.

Whether your requirement is immediate procurement, forward contracting, or multi-year supply planning, Congo Carbon is structured to support long-term access to high-integrity credits.

Congo Carbon Credits vs Standard REDD+ Credits (Verra / Gold Standard)

Measurement basis

Carbon outcomes are determined using direct measurement of atmospheric carbon flux, focusing on observed performance rather than proxy indicators.

Primarily based on estimation and modelling, using baselines, activity data, and assumptions about avoided deforestation.

Crediting approach

Designed around ex-post, measured outcomes, reducing reliance on forward-looking assumptions and counterfactual baselines.

Often includes ex-ante or model-driven issuance, where credits are issued based on calculated or projected emissions reductions.

Integrity profile

Lower dependence on baseline selection and avoided deforestation modelling, which are common sources of uncertainty in nature-based credits.

Integrity is highly project specific and dependent on baseline choice, leakage assumptions, and buffer mechanisms defined by the applicable methodology.

Permanence and risk management

The first nature-based carbon programme globally to incorporate permanence insurance through Lloyd’s of London, enabling explicit third-party risk transfer for defined permanence risks.

Permanence is typically managed through registry buffer pools and project-level safeguards, rather than external insurance.

Institutional suitability

Structured for institutional and corporate buyers requiring defensibility, auditability, and alignment with evolving disclosure and assurance standards.

Widely recognised and used, but quality and defensibility can vary materially by project; many institutional buyers apply additional screening beyond registry approval.

Scale and supply certainty

Designed to deliver large-scale, long-dated supply under a single, governed framework with consistent methodology and oversight.

Supply can be significant, but is fragmented across multiple projects with differing governance, methodologies, and delivery profiles.

Projects that can demonstrate measured outcomes and insured permanence are positioned to define the next generation of nature based carbon.
