Carbon Craft

What Carbon Craft does

Carbon Craft is a UK-headquartered (Tadworth) climate advisory and carbon project development company with a regional headquarters in Islamabad and field operations across South Punjab, Pakistan. It sells a four-stage advisory service, branded Carbon Gateway, that takes clients from project screening (satellite-data-assisted eligibility assessment) through project design, implementation support, and carbon monetization, certifying projects under global standards including Verra, Gold Standard, Puro.Earth, and Plan Vivo. Its client base spans carbon project developers, landowners, and corporate buyers, with named engagements in fashion (BestSeller, Inditex, H&M via NetZero Pakistan), food supply chains, mining, commodity trading, agriculture, and UNDP.

The company operates three identifiable brands. Carbon Gateway is the core advisory offering. NetZero Pakistan (currently in Phase II) is a private-sector decarbonization alliance combining core services (Sustainability Leaders Forum, Knowledge Hub, Carbon Connect Sessions, Climate Bootcamps) with strategic impact services (decarbonization advisory, passport, green financing, supplier engagement), anchored by partnerships with BestSeller, Inditex, H&M, GHGMI, and Southpole. Baghbaan is Carbon Craft's own agroforestry carbon asset project in South Punjab, with a 25-acre pilot, 5,000+ hectares committed for Phase 1, and a designed lifecycle credit potential of 2MtCO2e under the ARR methodology, with MRV showing 90.5% pilot survival and +39.9% height growth over nine months.

Commercially, Carbon Craft generates revenue through professional service fees for advisory engagements and transaction-based income from facilitating carbon credit sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, the GTM is sales-led direct engagement, and there is no publicly disclosed revenue, funding total, or institutional investor base. The team is small (firmographic headcount of 5, with a broader named team of 17+ including field staff), making it a boutique advisory with high credibility signals relative to its size (Forbes recognition, Race to Zero designation, COP visibility, UNDP engagement).

Core offering

Carbon Craft provides end-to-end carbon advisory services through its "Carbon Gateway" offering, which guides project developers and corporates through screening, designing, implementing, and monetising carbon credit projects across global standards (Verra, Gold Standard, Puro.Earth, Plan Vivo). The firm also internally develops its own carbon assets such as NetZero Pakistan (a private-sector decarbonisation alliance) and Baghbaan (an agroforestry carbon project), combining advisory with in-house project development.

Product overview

Carbon Craft is a climate advisory and carbon project development company offering Carbon Gateway as its core advisory platform. Carbon Gateway is an end-to-end solution that guides carbon projects through four service stages: Project Screening (satellite-based eligibility assessment), Project Design (feasibility studies, baseline analysis), Implementation Support (MRV, stakeholder engagement), and Carbon Monetization (certification and credit sales). The company also operates NetZero Pakistan Phase II as a private sector decarbonization alliance with core services and strategic impact offerings, and Baghbaan as a specific agroforestry carbon asset project in South Punjab. Carbon Craft works across nature-based solutions (forests, mangroves, wetlands), methane reduction, engineered carbon removal (biochar, direct air capture), climate-smart agriculture, and clean energy from waste.
