Who is our customer

Althelia Carbon Fund is a new fund with a target size of EUR 150 mln. The fund is aiming to invest in carbon emission reduction projects in the forestry sector that generate carbon credits. The fund will originate, accredit and bring to market carbon offsets primarily from projects in Africa (40%) and Latin America (40%). The fund mainly targets forest carbon (60% or more), although opportunistic commitments to other projects will be considered provided they also have undisputable positive social and environmental impact.

What is our funding objective?

FMO's investment will allow the fund to reach a first close and subsequently attract follow-up funding from other development finance institutions and commercial investors.

Why do we fund this investment?

Through its selection of high-impact and largely climate-focused investments, the fund fits very well with FMO's 2020 strategy of doubling impact and halving footprint.
