Karbon-X Corp. has been hired by Stream Pro Ltd, a subsidiary of Oilinvest, to provide technical advisory services for a proposed nature-based carbon project in Libya. The project is located in the Tripoli Wildlife Park and focuses on afforestation and ecosystem restoration to restore degraded landscapes, enhance biodiversity, and create carbon sequestration opportunities. The initial engagement covers end-to-end support for carbon design, including methodology assessment, Project Design Documentation, carbon accounting, and MRV framework design. This is meant to establish a foundation for potential future phases such as validation, registration, and implementation under international carbon standards. The deal expands Karbon-X's international project development portfolio into emerging markets.

Nice to see a carbon project in Libya, but the article is light on specifics. What methodology are they targeting? Afforestation in a wildlife park sounds like it could have co-benefits, but without a standard mentioned it's hard to gauge integrity.

Karbon-X seems to be building a solid pipeline in emerging markets. The Tripoli Wildlife Park location is interesting, but I'd want to know more about baseline deforestation rates and additionality. Hope they publish the PDD when it's done.

Initial design phase only, so this is early stage. The real test will be whether they can get it validated under a recognized standard like Verra or Gold Standard. Libya's political situation adds execution risk too.

The involvement of an Oilinvest subsidiary is notable. Could be a sign of oil companies looking to offset emissions through nature-based solutions. But the article doesn't mention if credits will be used for compliance or voluntary markets. That matters for accounting.

Afforestation in a dry region like Libya raises questions about water availability and long-term survival rates. Hope the MRV framework includes monitoring of tree mortality and not just initial planting numbers.
