What LIVING CARBON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED does

Living Carbon International Limited is a UK-registered, privately-held carbon project developer that generates verified carbon credits from large-scale nature-based projects in Africa and Asia and sells them on long-term offtake agreements to multinational corporate buyers pursuing net-zero commitments. The company operates three active carbon offset projects in Nigeria spanning distinct biomes: Jigawa State (savannah woodland, 2,315,400-hectare target), Adamawa State (tropical montane forest and grassland, 3,691,700-hectare target), and Rivers State (tropical forest, swamp forest, and mangrove, 1,107,700-hectare target). Combined Phase 1 capacity is stated at 37,500 tonnes CO2e per annum, scaling to a stated 32,405,000 tonnes CO2e over 30-year project terms, with claims of supporting up to 37,500 smallholder farmers and 85,000 households across the three sites. Project interventions bundle reforestation, soil regeneration through regenerative agriculture, and clean energy fuel-switching within single sites, with explicit alignment to 11 UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The company's core technology is the RegenFarm platform, a proprietary spatial data system described as using satellite-based geospatial monitoring with land health analysis, intervention simulation, and financial forecasting capabilities to support remote monitoring, reporting, and verification of carbon sequestration across diverse geographies. The platform is treated as both a core sub-brand and a strategic technology partnership, and is positioned as the primary differentiator for technology-enabled carbon credit verification.

Living Carbon's commercial model is direct enterprise sales of premium carbon credits to global corporates, with pricing negotiated bilaterally under long-term offtake agreements and not publicly disclosed. The company is led by Joint CEOs Jason Hayward-Jones (CTO, agronomist by training and appointed GDPR Responsible Person) and Niall Marriott (COO, business development specialist), supported by Chairman Robin Edwards, CFO David Jackson (PE/VC specialist), Chief Service Delivery Officer Dr Adnan Adnan (agronomist), and Executive Director Paul Buckley (former Credit Suisse debt banker, founder/CEO of First Avenue). The company is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office for GDPR compliance and operates from a single London headquarters at 3rd Floor, Swan House, 17-19 Stratford Place.
