Sky Harvest

What Sky Harvest does

Sky Harvest Resources, LLC is a Dallas-based, privately held carbon removal company founded in 2021 that generates high-integrity carbon credits by compensating small-acreage and underserved U.S. landowners to defer timber harvests, thereby allowing forests to store more carbon over time. The company sells these credits to enterprise buyers under the brand 'True Credits,' which it positions as offering 100% emissions equivalence and no reversal risk, in contrast to traditional offsets that account for only a fraction of claimed emissions. Its flagship rated project, Project Nimbus, received an 'A' ex-ante rating from BeZero Carbon, a leading third-party carbon ratings agency.

The company's underlying technology combines ground-based forest crews, LiDAR data, and aerial imagery to produce approximately 15,000 data points per acre of forest, supporting a proprietary precision measurement system and dynamic baseline modeling that uses real-time inputs such as timber prices and tree maturity to reduce baseline gaming. The company also markets a Carbon 2.0 calculator intended to simplify credit calculation for prospective buyers.

Sky Harvest monetizes credits through direct enterprise sales, with the company website offering 'Get Started,' 'Purchase,' and 'Free Portfolio Evaluation' options consistent with a consultative, quote-based B2B motion targeting corporate sustainability and ESG teams. The company maintains a strategic relationship with the USDA Forest Service, which supports its website, and lists Edge Natural Resources as a named customer in the investment/financial services vertical. As of the available data, Sky Harvest has 1-10 employees, operates exclusively in North America (USA), and has completed a single funding round with Praxis in September 2024.
