Monsoon Carbon has advised on and developed emission reduction projects across the major carbon standards. We manage the registration, issuance, sale and delivery of carbon credits, and are developing new projects with project owners in emerging markets.
We provide services to project owners and to buyers of carbon credits.
Carbon credits allow individuals and businesses to fund projects that reduce or avoid greenhouse gas emissions. They are also known as Verified Emission Reductions (VERs).
Developing a project and earning carbon credits is a long, complex and highly-audited process.
Well-recognised standards such as the Gold Standard and Verra (VCS), among others, set the rules for the credits they issue. They build on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, and many of its quantification methods are still in use.
The rules are one of the main challenges for new project developers. Each standard has its own rules, for example different submission deadlines for Gold Standard and Verra (VCS), and they change regularly. Emerging standards also bring their own advantages, disadvantages and risks, and rules are changing as countries build national carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
Each project type follows a specific methodology with strict rules, including monitoring that is audited over the life of the project. It is a complex space that needs expert advice.
Support climate action beyond your value chain.
Carbon offsetting involves purchasing and retiring carbon credits generated by projects outside your company’s value chain. These projects deliver verified emission reductions.
Reduce Scope 3 emissions within your supply chain.
Carbon insetting enables companies to support emission reduction activities within their own value chains. In the palm oil sector, this connects palm oil suppliers implementing emission reductions with downstream buyers addressing their Scope 3 emissions.
Utility-scale, grid-connected projects in emerging markets, on Gold Standard and the Global Carbon Council.
Grouped projects that capture methane from palm oil mill wastewater in Malaysia and Indonesia, on Verra (VCS).
Projects under assessment in Southeast Asia that turn agricultural waste into biochar for durable carbon removal.
Established in Singapore in 2011, Monsoon Carbon has a specialist carbon team offering technical, project delivery and methodology expertise. We support project owners from the initial assessment of eligibility through registration, monitoring, verification and issuance, to the sale of carbon credits.
We can help you to understand the potential of your assets or activities. We identify the standards, methodologies and tools that will be relevant, and translate those complex documents into meaningful guidance that gives you the best chance of success.

We offer two models: a revenue share, with no consulting fees and a share of credit sales, or a fixed fee paid by milestone.
It depends on the technology, the country and the standard. We start with an eligibility screen and a feasibility assessment that sets out the options, risks, costs and critical deadlines.
Validation and the first verification usually take place after about a year of operation. It can take years from initiating the process to receiving the first sales revenue.
An offset is a credit issued for activities outside a company’s value chain. An inset is issued for activities inside it, for example methane capture at a palm oil mill that supplies the buyer.
Gold Standard, Verra (VCS), the Global Carbon Council and others differ in eligibility, deadlines, risks and market acceptance. We review them to determine the one that is most suitable for your project.
Tell us about your project, with as much background as possible, and our carbon team will help you assess its potential.
