Accessing the Carbon Market    

     The Carbon Credit or Carbon Offset Project market is best accessed through a Certified Carbon Project Aggregator versed in and compliant with the various Registries and protocols established to ensure the quality and integrity of this fast growing industry. 

     To establish and ensure the value of your project, you should enter into a relationship with a qualified and professional firm which will ensure the proper steps are taken to comply with protocols necessary to guarantee the quality of your project.  In so doing, you give yourself the best opportunity to achieve the financial objectives of your project.

     Fortibus Ag is uniquely positioned to provide you with the expertise necessary to help you get your Offset Project established, inventoried, verified and traded. 

What is the value of a Carbon Credit? 
 
     One carbon credit is equal to one metric ton of CO2 equivalent either drawn out of the atmosphere through the natural growth processes of plants, saved through energy efficiency technologies or avoided through the implementation of alternative or renewable energy production technologies.

     Currently in the US, the participation in the Carbon Offset market is voluntary.  Market prices for carbon credits fluctuate based on project quality, needs of the buyer, industry developments, future political considerations and other factors.  While carbon credits have recently been trading around $4.00 to $6.00 in reputable trades through the trading platforms and markets we have access to, this is no guarantee of the price a project may receive.  It may be higher or lower.  We think this is, however, a good indicator of current market conditions. 

     Since Fortibus Ag specializes in Carbon sequestration projects within the Forestry industry, we think it important to mention to forest landowners considering an Offset Project that other factors such as species type, soil qualitiy and management practices will have a direct impact upon yield per acre of CO2e.

     There is no way to tell what a particular project will yield financially until data gathering and analysis is complete.
