Green Earth Carbon Sales Pipeline Tops $56 Million as Buyers Shift to Forward Offtake Deals

Dutch nature-based carbon developer Green Earth reported a firm sales order book of about $53 million at the end of September, with a broader pipeline above $56 million when an option on its Uganda project is included. The firm order book rose from $47 million at the end of June and is more than 23 times higher than at the end of 2025, driven by long-term offtake agreements for agroforestry credits in Uganda and Kenya. The Uganda deal, tied to the Bulindi Agroforestry and Chimpanzee Conservation Project, accounts for about $4.8 million in firm future sales for deliveries from 2027 through 2031. An option could bring the combined value to $16.3 million. The Mount Kenya Regenerative Agroforestry Project adds a long-term agreement covering more than 1.5 million projected credits over 15 years, with first issuance expected in 2027. The growth reflects a broader move by buyers toward forward contracts to lock in supply, price, and quality. Green Earth says its focus now is on implementation, verification, and issuance across the portfolio, since contracted value only becomes real value once credits are verified and delivered.

Green Earth's forward sales book went from $47M to $53M in a quarter, and the company says the broader pipeline is above $56M. The interesting part is buyers signing multi-year offtakes for Ugandan and Kenyan agroforestry credits instead of shopping spot. Execution is the open question.

Good to see concrete numbers on forward offtake for nature-based credits. The Bulindi deal in Uganda is about $4.8M in firm sales for 2027-2031, plus an option that could push it to $16.3M. The Kenya deal covers 1.5M projected credits over 15 years. Still early though, none of that counts until verification and issuance.

Forward pipeline is nice, but these are unverified credits. Green Earth says the priority is implementation, monitoring, verification, issuance. That is the actual bottleneck. A $53M order book means little if projects underdeliver or issuance slips. Would like to see survival rates and expected issuance dates per project.

Survival rates are the missing detail. Green Earth mentions promising results in Kazakhstan, but no numbers. If they can publish survival and expected issuance per project, the pipeline gets a lot easier to evaluate.

Worth noting the market context. Sylvera says forward offtake volumes excluding Microsoft rose 73% in H1 2026, so this is not just one developer. Buyers are trying to lock supply, price and quality before credits exist. That shifts risk to the developer, which is why verification and delivery terms matter as much as the contract value.

Green Earth's firm contracted sales reached $53M at the end of September, up from $47M in June and a 23x jump from end of 2025. The Uganda agroforestry project is a big piece. The story is really about buyers moving upstream into forward contracts. Next test is converting those contracts into verified credits.
