Rainforest is perfect land for conservation since it is

extremely valuable ecologically and highly efficient

at absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the

atmosphere. This is opposite to the way in which we

breathe, but it also means trees help to absorb some of

the pollution that is produced by industry and corporations

around the world. As industry has increased, so have

emissions and we are now at a stage where it is imperative

that we try to regain the natural balance. Whether we work

or not, we each have our own personal carbon footprint

that is influenced by the transport we use, the food that

we eat and the way in which we live.

As a result, governments around the world are coalescing

into a consistent view that the excess carbon emissions

must be offset in some way. This investment opportunity

allows you to contribute by avoiding the deforestation of

land, and retaining the trees on it.

Carbon credits are therefore all about balance. If an

individual or a corporation is causing a level of carbon

emissions that is either too high or does not tally with

their ethical outlook, it is possible for them to offset their

emissions and neutralise their carbon footprint. Carbon

credits are in effect currency that allows companies or

individuals to pay to remove their excess carbon dioxide

from the air.

why we need rainforest

When you invest with us, you are investing in a key

rainforest region – Sierra Leone. We consider Sierra

Leone to offer exemplary access to potential carbon credit

generation. We anticipate that all plots will be of

equivalent potential and ability in the generation of

carbon credits. Plots are sold by way of 4 hectares (10

acres) sub-leases over the land for a term of 45 years. Once

80% of the total leased area has been sub-leased, the

individual plots will be legally registered; this has no

impact on the granting of the Carbon Credits.

Climate exchangeOur appointed carbon accreditation partner is Climate Care.

Climate Care is the leading project developer in sourcing

and developing Certified Emission Reduction (CER) projects

credits through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

applied to emission reduction projects in developing

countries which deliver real and measurable emission

reductions. Climate Care is our appointed accreditation

specialist, however you retain the option of appointing

your own carbon credit accreditation specialist. Once the

accreditation and auditing process is complete, you will

be allocated the total number of carbon credits related to

your plots.

Carbon credits are traded on unrelated international

environmental trading platforms. A European emissions

trading scheme known as the European Union Emission

Trading System (EU ETS) is one of the largest global carbon

credit trading schemes. Under the EU ETS, companies that

emit large amounts of carbon dioxide must oversee and

report on their emissions levels.

African rainforest

Page 6: CAPITAL Carbon Credits - Amazon S3t Capital Carbon Credits, we aim to generate significant returns from an outstanding opportunity to invest in rainforest land designed to generate

African rainforest

Our 50,000 hectares bordering the Gola Forest is a

highly significant rainforest area of Sierra Leone. The

region is a rich conservation site and has prime rainforest

flora and fauna. The land we have for investment is located

near the border with Liberia, and is lowland rain forest in

Sierra Leone. The bordering Gola Forest

(www.golarainforest.org) is internationally recognised as

an important area to preserve from deforestation, and also

home to a diverse variety of natural habitats. The Gola

Forest is the largest area of closed canopy lowland rain

forest remaining in Sierra Leone. As a result, it is a key

region in which carbon credit generation is likely.

The fact that such areas in the country are coming under

increasing pressure from agriculture and population

expansion means that its protection is also critical.

The country has gone through a transformation of sorts

over recent years as its troubled past fades. According to

the Sierra Leone Investment and Export Promotion Agency

(SLIEPA, 2008):

‘With Sierra Leone’s long civil strife behind it, the country

is poised to usher in a new era of economic growth and

prosperity. Having held successful democratic elections,

economic recovery has begun, and increasing attention is

being paid to creating the policies and developing the

infrastructure needed to support economic development

and create jobs.’

already involved and increasing their commitments to

emissions reduction as well as offsetting any emissions.

At Capital Carbon Credits (CCC) we have appointed Climate

Care Global Ltd, a UK company specialising in the business

of sourcing and developing carbon credits, to manage the

carbon accreditation process for the land our investors

own. The key people within this company have been

selected to manage the accreditation process. A feasibility

study has been recently completed. Some of the key

findings include:

• Based on all the information we have collected and

researched, it is our view that REDD Gola forest, Sierra

Leon should gain full accreditation.

• We estimate that it should successfully yield 400 VERSper hectare. As a guide, one hectare of rainforest

equals about 400 tonnes CO2 stored. As a rainforest

regenerates from bare land, it absorbs 10 tonnes

(10,000 kg) or more per hectare per year.

• The Gola Forest is the largest area of lowland rain

forest remaining in Sierra Leone, and is one of the

most important sites for the conservation of

threatened wildlife in the country.

• The forest is being diminished by a total of 0.7% per

year as of this time.

You may wish however to choose your own firm tomanage the carbon accreditation process. If this is thecase please indicate this on the application form andone of our sales managers will contact you.

There are two main types of carbon credits: CERs

(certified emission reductions) are projects that are

verified under the Kyoto Protocol compliance regime. This

is compulsory UN legislation to which countries that have

signed-up are required to adhere.

The other type of carbon credits are VERs (voluntary

emissions reductions) which are voluntary but also have to

be formally accredited by the UN. The avoided

deforestation project we are offering you falls into this

category. This market generally uses project-based

crediting mechanisms. Corporations or individuals who fall

outside the area of obligatory emissions targets are able to

offset their emissions in this way.

It is a dynamic market and one that is expected to

expand considerably.

AccreditationWe believe that now is an ideal time to consider this

investment opportunity since the carbon credits industry

is anticipated to become one of the world’s largest traded

commodities. This is supported by the fact that many of

the most economically powerful countries in the world are

Carbon credits – low riskethical investments withrobust potential

It’s clear that companies need to cut their carbon

emissions and operate ethically or they will have to

pay the price for their excess pollution. A carbon credit is

simply a unit equal to the offset of one tonne of

‘Greenhouse’ gases released into the atmosphere. Carbon

credits are a direct way in which polluting companies can

help to redress the harmful effects their operations cause.

Carbon credits also offer individuals a way in which to

offset their own carbon footprint.

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are absorbed by forests

instead of being released into the atmosphere. As a result,

protecting forests is a key defence against climate change.

At Capital Carbon Credits (CCC) our philosophy is to

support the move to reduce carbon emissions and make a

profit for our investors.

step by step guide

Step 4 – Approval by third-party auditors

Another key part of our governance process to ensure that

your investment adheres to the highest standards is the

approval by third-party auditors of this project. Any carbon

credits arising from the avoided deforestation of land we

offer is measured by the auditors and assessed using in-

depth methodologies.

Step 5 – Monitoring

The process also involves consistent monitoring and

analysis. It is this detailed and methodical assessment

that ensures your investment plot is eligible for the

generation of carbon credits. We anticipate working with

Climate Care to help us with this process. We envisage that

the accreditation and auditing period will take at least 18

months.

Step 6 – The Voluntary Carbon Standard

The investment opportunity we offer you here is one that

adheres to one of the most highly respected governance

regulations in existence – the Voluntary Carbon Standard

(VCS). It provides a robust global standard for voluntary

offset projects. It also ensures that the carbon offsets have

real environmental benefits.

Step 7 – Issuance of carbon credits

Once the carbon credits have been issued, they will then

be tradeable freely. Your carbon credits can also be

registered with Markit Environmental Registry, the market

leading environmental registry. This means that tracking

your carbon credits will be straightforward.

Step 8 – Returns and reinvestment

We can assist you in the sale of the carbon credits and pay

you the money directly. For this we will deduct a 5%

management fee. We do this as it makes the investment

straightforward and simple - you do not need to do

anything yourself. Alternatively, you can choose to hold

your carbon credits and benefit from any capital

appreciation in the credits or sell the carbon credits

yourself.

Step 1 – We hand-pick suitable forestry land

We have already selected highly suitable forestry land in

which you can purchase. From as little as £1,250 per

hectare, including the accreditation fee of £300 per

hectare, you can be part of an ethical project that is not

only designed to generate returns but can offset your

carbon footprint.

Step 2 – Division of land into investmentplots

We have divided the land we have earmarked into

investment-sized pieces of one hectare (approximately 2.5

acre plots). These plots can be bought by our individual

investors.

Step 3 – The accreditation process is a 3step process

The accreditation process is broken down in to several

steps. The first part of the process is to develop a

Project Development Plan (PDP) which sets out the

whole route for a successful accreditation. The next step

is the Feasibility Study which will specifically target the

area of Rainforest which is attempting to be accredited.

This study is the foundation for the entire project and

will inform all parties as to the likelihood of success. The

feasibility study was completed in June 2011, and one of

the first companies of our type to have a carbon project

which is so far ahead in the accreditation process.

potential returns

Rainforest protection is one of the stand-out ways of

offsetting carbon emissions. When you invest in this

project, we expect you to gain a significant return from

what is a relatively low-risk ethical project. Your return is

expected to be generated in the form of carbon credits.

For this project, Capital Carbon Credits has based estimates

based on similar projects which have received accreditation

or are waiting accreditation (see table for comparison

purposes). Your land will generate at least 300 carbon

credits per hectare (approximately 2.5 acres) at the end of

the accreditation and auditing process which we envisage

will be a minimum of eighteen months and a maximum of

twenty four months. Based on a carbon credit price of

£6.25 (source: Climate Care) per carbon credit this gives a

gross income – once you have sold your carbon credits – of

£1,875. That is an anticipated net return of 50% over two

years including the accreditation fee. You will see from the

table this is a very conservative estimate and based on the

Belize project the return could be in excess of 90%.

The table opposite provides details of similar carbon

schemes and the average tonnes of carbon which have

been or are being accredited per hectare. The figure of 586

tonnes for Boden Creek in Belize for example would equate

to the granting of 586 carbon credits, this compares to

Capital Carbon Credits estimate of 300 tonnes per hectare.

In addition, you will still own the land once you have sold

your carbon credits. The land will have a residual value

and you will be able to choose whether to sell it or keep

it.

Our estimates are at the lower end of the scale and we

expect that potential returns may even be higher

than this. Particularly taking into consideration the results

of the feasibility study.

The period in which the land will be accredited is expected

to be 18 months, although it may take longer. We believe

that 24 months is more than enough for the three-step

process to be completed but we cannot guarantee this.

By the end of July 2011 Capital Carbon Credits will have

completed the first 2 steps of the Accreditation Process.

Carbon Credits a liquid marketThere is an established transparent market in the trading of

carbon credits, with many traditional stockbrokers and

specialist firms buying and selling Carbon Credits. One such

example is Carbon Trade Exchange

(www.carbontradexchange.com) which trades carbon credits

on behalf of blue-chip clients and small investors and

Chicago Climate Exchange (www.chicagoclimatex.com).

Full money back guaranteeWe are so confident that the land we have selected will

qualify for carbon credits that we are happy to offer our

investors a full money back guarantee if their land is not

granted voluntary carbon credits within three years of their

investment. This money back guarantee does not apply to

the accreditation fees.

strict validation & governance

Next steps You will purchase a leasehold interest in the land for

45 years. Upon investment you will be issued with a

Sublease Certificate setting out the number of plots you

own. Upon the allocation of approximately 80% of the

land, the company will arrange for the subleases to be

registered at the Sierra Leone Land Registry. Once the title

deed has been issued, you will be the legal owner of the

leasehold title on your allocated land. Your ownership will

be registered at the Sierra Leone Land Registry at which

point you will receive a copy of the title and registered

lease document. We can also ensure that the carbon

credits that are generated as a result of the accreditation

and auditing process are recorded by the Markit

Environmental Registry, should you require this

registration when the carbon credits are issued.

We will help to maximise your returns in this respect by

making the trade process simple and straightforward. We

will help to ensure that the carbon credits you earn from

your investment are easily tradeable into cash.

We adopt high standards to ensure that our governance

is robust and we adhere to strict guidelines.

At the latest, we expect to generate valid carbon credits

by the end of the second year of your investment. The

credits will be sold on our investors’ behalf and the returns

distributed to each investor.

To provide you with peace of mind, the project also

complies with the standards set for the Voluntary Carbon

Standard (VCS). The VCS was initially developed in 2005

by The Climate Group, the International Emissions Trading

Association and the World Economic Forum. It is a key part

of governance in this sector that ensures there is a strict

set of guidelines along which a project such as this is

managed. It includes criteria such as:

• The carbon offsets must be real

• Independently verified

• Not used more than once

• Not part of BAU (business as usual) activities

The VCS also aims to support confidence in the voluntary

offset market through a consistent and credible approach.

One of its key tenets is standardisation of emission

reduction strategies to enable robust carbon solutions and

emissions reductions.

invest now - be in at the start

Governments all over the world are intent on reducing

greenhouse gases. Polluting companies tend to

release elements that have a negative effect on the

environment. In many cases, these are gases which are a

contributory factor in climate change – one of the most

pressing geo-political and environmental issues. One way

for polluters to mitigate the damaging elements they

produce is by purchasing carbon credits.

Carbon credits are initiated by projects and schemes that

conserve or re-generate environmental areas and prevent

them from being turned into negatively-impacting

industrial uses. The carbon credits are then either bought

by corporations keen to redress the impact of their day-to-

day operations on the environment, or by individuals who

would like to offset the impact of their lives, such as

purchasing habits or travel.

At Capital Carbon Credits, we generate carbon credits by

working with corporations in emergent and developing

countries. Our work focuses on projects that can reduce

greenhouse gas emissions. Our experience and expertise

allows us to structure investment opportunities with

significant potential to generate carbon credits.

Carbon and greenhouse gasesCarbon is used as a catch-all term since carbon dioxide is

the key greenhouse gas. As a result, carbon trading

became used as a proxy for greenhouse gases overall.

There is a global move to reduce carbon emissions and this

is likely to intensify – rapidly. In 2005 the Kyoto Protocol

came into force and heralded a new emphasis where most

developed nations agreed to specific targets on

greenhouse gas emissions. The Kyoto Protocol aims to

alleviate global warming and is part of the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The protocol is legally binding and its focus is to ensure

that greenhouse gas concentrations are stabilised at

lower levels.

Now that emissions targets have been issued, it is clear

there is an economic incentive to comply. As a result,

emission reductions themselves gained economic value.

As well as through emissions trading, these have a number

of mechanisms to market.

UK pressure on carbon emissions

REDD – our key focusAt Capital Carbon Credits, we are focused on a key area of

the carbon market – carbon offsetting. This occurs where

a project is completed that helps to reduce carbon

emission. Our investment opportunity is set to produce

carbon credits through REDD – Reducing Emissions from

Deforestation and Forest Degradation. Retaining rain

forests is a key way of halting rising carbon emissions,

since deforestation and degradation is generally accepted

to account for as much as 20% of greenhouse gas

emissions.

Deforestation refers to removal of forests while forest

degradation describes where the production capacity of a

forest area is restricted through the negative impact of

commercial or industrial activity. Essentially, REDD credits

provide an opportunity to use funding from developed

countries to reduce deforestation in developing countries.

REDD also has other additional benefits and can help to

support biodiversity conservation, so it’s no surprise that

it is attracting considerable investment.

One of the relative successes of the 2009 United Nations

Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen was the

acceptance of REDD.

‘…the first beneficiary of REDD is Indonesia,which is to receive $1bn from Norway.’ The FT alsoquotes Izabella Teixeira – Brazil’s environment minister –as saying that REDD is important ‘…because itdemonstrates that global partnership is possible.’

As offsetting becomes ever more important in the battle

against global warming, it is accepted that REDD will

play an important part in future geo-political action.

Many commentators expect that REDD is likely to be

included in a post-2012 climate agreement.

In the UK, the Department for Energy and Climate

Change put severe pressure on businesses to register

for a compulsory carbon-cutting scheme by 30 September

2010. According to The Daily Telegraph:

‘Under the scheme, companies that have annual power

bills of more than £500,000, but fall outside the remit of

the European Union's carbon-trading programme for major

polluters, will have to buy emission permits.’

Meanwhile in Europe, the EU’s emissions trading system

(ETS) aims to reduce carbon emissions by corporate

polluters within the EU. The ETS means each country is

given a limit on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions.

This is divided among the corporate entities that fall

within the system within each country. Then, if a company

goes over its proscribed limit, they are required to buy

permits to balance it out. If they emit less, they can sell

their unused allocations. At present, the ETS is in its

second phase, as the third phase is planned to run

from 2013 to 2020. The likelihood is that emissions control

will tighten further still – making carbon credits

more attractive.
