HABITAT ENTERPRISES | OFFSETID TEAM LEADER
WHAT WE DO
Habitat Enterprises (“Habitat”) is a pioneering carbon asset development firm with a strong track record in the low carbon marketplace. Habitat is building a portfolio of carbon offsets by providing carbon finance and offset certification to capital projects that reduce methane gas, which is 21 times as harmful to the atmosphere as CO2. Its activities aim to make the world’s environment cleaner while delivering attractive financial returns to its project partners and investors.
Habitat makes methane reduction projects profitable and makes more methane reduction projects happen. Habitat finds projects that could reduce methane emissions in large quantities and partners with the project developers or organizations developing the project early in the project cycle. Habitat invests in certifying the carbon reductions as carbon offsets and secures a buyer for the carbon offsets – adding an additional revenue stream to the project while securing a stream of carbon offsets to its portfolio. Through its technology, capital, and engineering partnerships, Habitat also structures project finance and provides anaerobic digester design to certain projects.
The team at Habitat Enterprises consists of leading talent in emissions markets and carbon finance who are driven by the opportunity to lead a fundamental transition in the global economy. Together, we are demonstrating the financial opportunity associated with the low carbon economy, and convincing more and larger investors to enter this sector.
OFFSETID
OffsetID is a proprietary offset project identification and assessment platform that allows users (clean technology firms, investors, project developers, and companies) to find out if a project or technology has the potential to earn carbon offsets. For investors and project developers seeking new offset opportunity, OffsetID is a simple offset deal flow and portfolio management tool for finding, tracking, and analyzing new offset projects/investments.
OUR VISION
The solutions to climate change involve governments, international organizations, the general public – and private capital. Habitat Enterprises is driven to channel significant amounts of capital into the solutions to climate change.
Our vision has created a working culture that is shared by our employees, advisors, partners, and Board of Directors, made up of a dedicated commitment to fighting climate change in cooperation and using our diverse skill sets, a strong spirit of entrepreneurship, and a shared desire to make a difference.
