Accelerating a Low Carbon Future

Leveraging our expertise in catalytic finance and provenance management, we invest in and support the development of low-carbon fuels, helping to reduce the world's carbon footprint effectively and sustainably.

Our approach centers around providing strategic financing solutions and carbon credit accreditation services that promote the adoption of cleaner technologies and enhance the financial viability of such projects. We focus on decarbonizing sectors that are traditionally hard to abate, which is critical to achieving global emission reduction targets.

Through our innovative streaming finance platform, First Carbon Investments facilitates the advance purchase of carbon credits and green premium certificates, thus securing early revenue streams for producers and mitigating market risks. This forward-thinking financial model supports our clients in transitioning towards greener operations, fostering a lower-carbon future.

Our commitment extends beyond financial aspects, encompassing rigorous compliance, provenance management, and the tracking of carbon credits to ensure transparency and integrity in the clean tech markets. With an international presence, a focus on export markets and a seasoned team of experts, First Carbon Investments an investor but a partner in the global journey towards a sustainable and environmentally responsible future.

First Carbon Investments was founded to accelerate clean technology deployment at scale so that hard-to-decarbonise industries can rapidly develop a low carbon future .  In the early stages of clean tech projects, costs are relatively high, income is restricted  and distribution channels may be immature.  We help deal with these challenges so you can make rapid progress

Our team and partner ecosystem includes expertise in high integrity standards,  developing credits streams, banking, finance , global markets, technology and project management.

We work with thought leaders embracing and driving global change in clean technologies at scale.

The next wave of clean tech is beginning to address the need to have energy dense, portable and ubiquitous bulk fuels to support dramatic reductions in CO2 emissions in heavy industry, energy and transport. These industries include sectors like electricity generation, steel making, shipping and other manufacturers.

We believe that many of the solutions to achieve net-zero already exist. Our job is to provide expertise and finance to catalyse rapid deployment

​For now, most of these technologies command a significant green premium over those they succeed. First Carbon Investments works with projects to develop and advance purchase carbon credits and certificates which boost early margins and accelerating viability. Our client acquirers are major consumers of low carbon fuels and high integrity off-setters investing in their own low-carbon future businesses.
