VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carbon Done Right Developments Inc. ("Carbon Done Right" or the "Company") (TSXV: KLX) (FSE: Q1C) a leading provider of high-quality carbon credits sourced exclusively from reforestation projects developed and owned by the Company, is pleased to announce the completion of the formal third party validation of the Company's first large scale carbon credit project in Sierra Leone and final submission to the Verra Registry. This allows the Company to begin to issue carbon credits through the Verra Registry.
Carbon Done Right CEO James Tansey stated 'Our investment is one of the first projects in the world to be validated under the new Verra VM0047 protocol for nature-based restoration projects. The new protocol, released in late 2023, establishes the highest standards for carbon credit production, so this is a major milestone for the Company. The project was independently validated by Earthood, one of the leading validators in carbon markets. This audit validation process provides independent assurance about the quality of the project, the volumes of carbon stored in the trees we are planting and the legal framework covering carbon rights and community engagement. The positive outcome of the validation reflects the strength of the in-country team's commitment to transparency, excellence and community engagement.'
- The Company has secured a previously announced long term offtake for the majority of the tonnes produced by the project over the first 20 years;
- The Company has completed a third season of planting in Sierra Leone and with the end of rainy season is shifting the focus to maintenance and fire management;
- The Validation is likely to increase interest from carbon market investors since the planting area can be expanded significantly under this approval;
- The Sierra Leone Rewilding project can be expanded to at least 25,000 ha of planting producing over 10 million tonnes of carbon credits at that scale;
- The Company announced the launch of a private placement in December, 2024 and has made strong progress to date, with the expectation of a final close later in January 2025.
