What We Do in Carbon Markets

Resources Future helps governments, project developers, and businesses unlock the value of carbon markets in a credible and practical way. We support clients in assessing whether their activities can generate carbon credits, identifying the most appropriate standards and methodologies, and estimating realistic credit and revenue potential. Our work spans renewable energy, waste, AFOLU, biochar, transport, plastics, and household energy—grounded in conservative assumptions and market realities. We focus on early-stage clarity and robust project structuring, so carbon revenues can meaningfully support investment decisions, implementation, and scale, while meeting the integrity expectations of regulators, buyers, and international standards.
