Year Vivent Carbon was founded

We believe the most powerful climate technology already exists — it's the land, the soil, the ocean, and the farmers who have tended them for generations.

Vivent Carbon, mission statement
What we deliver

Three ways to build a climate project

Every project runs on the commercial model that fits its asset — not a one-size-fits-all contract.

Nature-based

Afforestation, REDD+, blue carbon, agroforestry, soil carbon, and enhanced rock weathering — developed on land communities and developers already hold.

Concentrated in the Global South — where land, communities, and carbon potential meet.

Revenue share

Technology-based

Renewable energy, energy efficiency, water treatment, and in-situ mineralisation — built and operated to a corporate's own scale, anywhere in the world.

Built anywhere — wherever the emissions-reduction opportunity sits.

BOT / build-for-scale

Hybrid projects

A technology anchor with a nature-based layer on top — for landscape and community programmes that need both.

Wherever a technology anchor and a landscape opportunity sit together.

Tech-anchored + revenue share

Examples from an active and growing portfolio — not an exhaustive list.

Decarbonisation

Decarbonisation solutions

Beyond nature-based, technology-based, and hybrid projects, we help industrial and infrastructure operators cut emissions at the source.

Industrial decarbonisation

Process efficiency, fuel switching, and emissions-reduction retrofits for manufacturing and heavy industry.

BOT / build-for-scale

Water & waste

Water treatment, wastewater management, and waste-to-value systems that cut emissions while solving an operational need.

BOT / build-for-scale

Transformation projects

Broader operational and infrastructure transformation programmes that combine multiple decarbonisation levers into one project.

BOT / build-for-scale

Delivered under our technology-based model — BOT or build-for-scale, per project.

Our process

Two starting points, one transparent process

Whether you're a community with land or a corporate with a target, Vivent runs a co-created process from first contact to verified carbon revenue.

For communities & farmers

Revenue share

Community partnership

We partner with farmer groups and cooperatives, ensuring Free, Prior and Informed Consent in every project design.

Project design & baseline

Field surveys, soil sampling, and satellite analysis establish baseline carbon stocks and the right NBS pathway.

Implementation & MRV

Farmers implement practices with Vivent support. IoT sensors and remote sensing deliver real-time MRV data.

Credit issuance & revenue

Verified credits issued under recognised standards. Revenue flows directly to farmers with transparent service fees.

For businesses & corporates

BOT / build-for-scale

Origination & structuring

We assess your project or asset and lock in methodology, registry, and contracts together.

Financing

We facilitate or arrange the capital needed to get the project built.

Delivery & MRV

Implementation or construction runs, monitored against the registry — nature-based or technology-based.

Monetization & return

Credits are sold and revenue is shared, or the asset transfers, per your contract.

Why Vivent Carbon

Credits you can defend in a boardroom and a village

The voluntary carbon market has a credibility problem. Vivent was built specifically to solve it — by designing every project around the four things that actually make a credit defensible.

Science-first MRV

Conservative, science-driven baselines — not optimistic assumptions. IoT soil sensors, satellite remote sensing, and independent third-party audits, delivered with our digital MRV partner Zixent. Uncertainty ranges are published, not hidden.

Radical transparency

Baseline methodology, MRV protocols, credit issuance records, and community payment schedules are all published openly, with independent ratings from SYNE. No proprietary black boxes, full registry traceability on every credit.

Community co-benefits built in

At least 60% of credit proceeds paid to farming communities within 30 days, via mobile banking. Independently verified co-benefit reporting on livelihood income, biodiversity, gender inclusion, and SDG alignment.

Genuine additionality

We only develop projects that would not happen without carbon finance — documented through financial additionality tests, regulatory surplus assessments, and public community consultation records.

ESG-ready impact reporting

Every purchase includes a structured impact report — GHG removed, SDGs supported, households benefited, biodiversity indicators — formatted for CDP, GRI, and CSRD disclosure.

Sector-specific portfolios

Custom credit portfolios aligned to your sector's commitments — SBTi and SBTi FLAG targets, marine co-benefits, or agricultural supply chain provenance — matched to your specific claim and disclosure context.

Advisory

Strategy before you build

For developers structuring a project, or corporates deciding how to meet a target — we advise before the shovel goes in the ground.

Carbon and climate advisory

Carbon market strategy, methodology selection, and registry alignment for developers and buyers.

Environmental advisory

Environmental risk, land-use, and impact assessment across nature-based and technology projects.

Sustainability advisory

Corporate net-zero roadmaps, ESG strategy, and sustainability reporting frameworks.

Regulatory & policy

Guidance on CCTS, CORSIA, CBAM, and other emerging compliance and disclosure regimes.

Financing

Capital, structured in

We facilitate financing for the projects we develop, and structure insurance cover where a project needs it — so cost is never the reason a good project doesn't get built.

Project & working capital financing

Facilitated capital to cover baseline surveys, MRV setup, and early project costs.

Investor & buyer-side structuring

Structuring offtake agreements and investment terms between developers, buyers, and financiers.

Insurance for permanence & delivery risk

Cover against reversal, delivery shortfall, and other project risks across the credit lifetime.

Blended finance for early-stage projects

Layered capital structures for projects that need patient or concessional funding to get started.

Aggregation

Smallholders and communities, structured into one project

We work with communities, farmer producer organisations (FPOs), and sector-specific groups to bring fragmented, small-scale land into a single, structured carbon project — one methodology, one MRV process, one revenue-share agreement.

Lower cost per hectare
Shared bargaining power
One contract, one payment cycle

Who we aggregate

Communities & smallholders

Individual landholders and villages join as a collective, without giving up ownership of their own land.

FPOs & cooperatives

Farmer producer organisations bring member farms together under one contract and one payout structure.

Sector-specific groups

Industry associations and grower groups aggregate an entire crop or sector into a single programme.

Who can join

You don't need to be a large landowner

Vivent's aggregation model was designed so that smallholder farmers and small coastal cooperatives — not just large landholders — can access carbon markets. If you have land or water and a community, you qualify.

Smallholder farmers

Farmers with degraded or underutilised land suitable for reforestation, or who want to shift to regenerative agriculture or biochar practices.

  • Minimum 0.5 ha of eligible land
  • Land accessible for monitoring
  • Willing to commit for 10–20 years
  • No existing carbon contract on the land

Coastal & fishing communities

Fishing cooperatives and coastal communities with access to mangrove, seagrass, or seaweed cultivation areas — some of the highest income per hectare of any Vivent pathway.

  • Organised cooperative or community group
  • Traditional or legal rights to coastal area
  • Community endorsement process (FPIC)
  • Presence in Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Vietnam, or Australia

Indigenous & tribal communities

  • Registered FPO, SHG, cooperative, or equivalent
  • Minimum 20 member households
  • Collective land area of at least 10 ha
  • Governing body able to sign community agreement

Commercial farms & agri-businesses

Larger commercial farms and agri-businesses generating carbon revenue from cover cropping, reduced tillage, biochar, or on-farm forestry.

  • Minimum 50 ha for commercial pathway
  • Clear ownership or long-term lease (15+ years)
  • Willingness to change agricultural practices
  • 3+ years of land-use records helpful

Research & pilot farms

University farms, government research stations, and pilot-scale farms testing emerging CDR pathways — enhanced weathering, seagrass transplanting, or coastal alkalinity enhancement.

  • Located in an active research region
  • Academic or technical staff for co-measurement
  • Willingness to publish research findings
  • Some pilots structured as co-development
How it works

From registration to carbon income

The carbon market was designed for institutions, not communities. Vivent absorbs the technical complexity — baseline surveys, methodology compliance, audits, registry management — so you can focus on farming and land stewardship.

What Vivent covers, at no upfront cost

  • Baseline carbon survey and soil sampling
  • MRV equipment installation (sensors, camera traps)
  • Registry enrolment and methodology preparation
  • Third-party verification and audit costs
  • FPIC facilitation and legal support for community agreements
  • Community monitor training and tools
  • Credit marketing and buyer relationships

Vivent recovers these costs from the non-community share of credit proceeds. You never pay anything upfront.

1

Initial enquiry

1–3 days response

Contact our regional team. Tell us your location, land type, and size. We'll assess whether your land is eligible and which pathway makes the most sense.

2

Eligibility assessment

2–4 weeks

Our local field team visits your land, or arranges a remote assessment for larger areas. You receive a written eligibility report and income estimate — no obligation.

3

FPIC & community agreement

2–6 weeks

We facilitate a full Free, Prior and Informed Consent process in your local language. A legal partner independent from Vivent reviews the agreement on your behalf. You can exit any programme with 90 days' notice and keep your trees.

4

Baseline & MRV setup

4–8 weeks

Vivent installs monitoring equipment, trains community monitors, and completes the baseline carbon assessment. All equipment is yours to keep if you exit.

5

Project verified & credits issued

6–12 months from sign-up

Independent auditors verify the project. Credits are issued on the registry and sold to corporate buyers, and the community share of proceeds is calculated.

6

Payment to your community

Within 30 days of each sale

At least 60% of credit proceeds transferred to community members via mobile banking or local bank transfer. Payment records and carbon data shared in full every quarter.

Our story

Carbon markets had the potential to transform the economics of land stewardship for the world's most marginalised farming communities — but only if the market could be redesigned around their needs, not the other way around.

Founded in 2019 by carbon finance specialists and agronomists, Vivent started with a simple insight: individual communities can't access international carbon verification alone — so we aggregate, absorb the complexity, and let farmers focus on farming.
