Help this model reach more forests
Solarpunk Forest is a privately financed proof of concept. To take the model to forests in other regions, we need people and organisations to build it with us. Choose the path that fits you.
Invest in the scale-up
For impact investors.
The pilot in Costa Rica shows how a single forest can hold a digital identity and offer its ecosystem services on the market. The next step is to repeat the model with new forests and local partners in other regions.
We are looking for investors who want both ecological and financial returns from a model built to scale.
We are preparing a first funding round to take the model from the pilot to new forests. A legal entity will be set up for it. Request the investor deck for the details.
Grants and partnerships
For foundations, NGOs and research partners.
Each forest in the model is a place to protect biodiversity, restore degraded land, involve local communities and collect long-term ecological data. We welcome partners who can help with:
- conservation and restoration work in the forest
- research on carbon, biodiversity and water, using data from the forest's sensors
- training and paid stewardship for local communities
- grants that fund the next pilot forests
For companies
Corporate sustainability, powered by nature.
Sustainability is no longer optional: it is an economic necessity. Solarpunk Forest helps businesses go beyond compliance and take an active part in the regenerative economy, with tools and data that let them:
- decarbonise operations through measured ecosystem services
- strengthen ESG reporting with auditable, nature-based data
- invest in biodiversity resilience as part of long-term sustainability goals
- support fair economic models where nature and local communities benefit from corporate responsibility
Companies lease the forest's capacity to store their emissions and pay the forest for that service, starting with carbon. For each tonne of CO2 stored, measured with our Stored Carbon Increment (SCI) methodology, the company receives a token as the record. Tokens are not a tradeable asset; they are proof of the service, traceable to the forest that provided it. No credits based on projections of what might have been lost.
Through the planned Forest API, companies will get direct access to forest data for sustainability reporting under the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Pilot leases are available now, by direct agreement. While the marketplace is being built, companies can lease storage in Solarpunk Forest directly from us, and receive pilot tokens for the tonnes stored.
Pilot tokens are based on preliminary measurements and a methodology that is being reviewed and updated, and they are not certified carbon credits. Volumes, price and terms are agreed individually.
Bring a forest
For forest owners and local communities.
Many forest owners are expected to protect their forests for the good of everyone else, with nothing in return. We want forests to be paid for the services they provide, and the people who protect them to share in that income.
If you own or steward a forest and want it to become part of the model, tell us about it: where it is, how large it is, and who looks after it.
A forest can join when it is:
- a natural or naturally regenerating forest (no plantations)
- owned by you, or you have the right to steward the land
- protected, with no logging, for as long as it takes part
- able to host a permanent research plot and sensors
- looked after by local people who can act as stewards
How it works:
- Tell us about the forest: location, size, owner and history.
- We assess it together, remotely first, then with a visit.
- We measure a representative research plot to set the baseline.
- The forest receives its digital identity (NFT).
- Companies can lease its services.
