Carbon & Climate Analyst
Removall Carbon is an integrated carbon project developer, investor, and credit seller operating both in the voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
As a “Mission-Driven” company, or “Entreprise à Mission” in France, we develop and finance a diversified portfolio of nature-based and community-based projects generating certified carbon credits for corporate buyers seeking to address their residual emissions while supporting measurable outcomes for climate, biodiversity, and local communities.
Our model brings together three complementary roles. As a project developer, we originate projects and work alongside local operators from development through to certification. As an investor, we commit our own capital to the development stage, before any offtake agreement is in place., and build long-term investment structures dedicated to investing in carbon project development. As a credit seller, we manage commercial relationships directly with corporate clients.
Our portfolio covers reforestation, mangrove restoration, clean cookstoves, clean water access, biochar and agroforestry projects, certified under standards including Gold Standard, Verra and other internationally recognized certification standards.
Our processes are independently audited and certified. Today, our project activities span around 20 countries across 5 continents,,we have developed and invested in 9 carbon projects, supported more than 25 projects under development, and we work with a global network of more than 250 field and project partners.
Headquartered in Paris, Removall brings together more than 35 carbon market specialists, with offices and teams in Kenya, India, Mozambique, and Germany.
