Development and Commercialization

In the carbon and greenhouse gas markets, offsets refer specifically to a metric ton of reduced carbon dioxide equivalent, avoided or sequestered by one entity to offset the emission of that ton elsewhere. The term "carbon credit" represents a negotiable permit, equal to the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Within the framework of the Country Program for C-Neutrality granted by the C-Neutral brand, we are currently the only authorized institution to sell National Compensation Units.

Our projects use forest plantations with a PSA contract. The projects are measurable, verifiable and reportable. We use methodologies covered in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We carry out verification and biomass measurement visits.

General Document Carbon Projects

In accordance with Forest Law 7575, Fonafifo can establish agreements with companies and institutions that wish to develop biodiversity conservation actions through a secure institutional platform, as well as compensating for or mitigating the negative impact of their activities, projects or programs.

The relationship is expressed through the signing of a Convention, which includes the commitments of the Parties. The Agreements use the compensation instrument for Payment for Environmental Services.

The agreements are very adaptable. They allow to establish different conditions to those of the PES Program as long as they comply with the legal framework. They offer the opportunity to pay a differentiated amount to owners or owners of farms, due to their socioeconomic, age, or gender vulnerability, or according to the strategic importance of the environmental service provided by the property.

The Agreement allows selecting the PES modality, monitoring biodiversity or water resources, measuring fixed carbon, and much more. The amount of the Agreement includes the payment of 100% of the PSA and the costs of implementing additional commitments to the PSA, monitoring or certification of environmental services. The payment of 100% of the PSA does not award rights over the farm that benefits from the financial resource.

Interested persons can call 506-2545-3535, or write to the email account mercadeo@fonafifo.go.cr or Carmen Roldán at croldan@fonafifo.go.cr

The CDD executes a Project for Payment for Environmental Services in Biodiversity, with the contribution of companies and citizens, who contribute to the conservation of the habitat of threatened and endangered species. In this Project, results of the presence of wildlife are obtained in farms located within the Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve. These results add to the Biological Monitoring Program of the OSA Conservation Area.

The Reserve is a route that connects the National Parks Corcovado and Piedras Blancas, and these with the Torraba Sierpe Wetland. It is an area of ​​high endemism. Within it, the owners require economic support because they have limitations for the use of the forest, and few economic alternatives. Due to its biological wealth, the Reserve suffers great hunting and logging pressure, as well as pollution and deterioration due to human activities.

OSA is vulnerable to climate change, for this reason, species will require routes to move once their habitat is affected. Also, some species require larger territories to survive, and the connectivity between the protected areas allows to increase the space to mobilize.
