Single-source solution includes all the in-house expertise and capital needed to take landowner from forest carbon inventory to selling offsets WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forestry and finance experts with unique forest carbon project experience and knowledge of forest carbon markets have formed Finite Carbon, a company that provides a single-source, end-to-end solution, including the necessary capital, for landowners to create and monetize carbon offsets. "We are exclusively focused on forest carbon and offer the most comprehensive forest carbon project development and commercialization service in the United States," said Finite Carbon President Scott Nissenbaum, a venture capitalist who co-founded the company. "We have assembled a highly experienced and skilled team of pioneers," he said, noting that the team is led by Sean Carney, vice president of carbon finance; Sterling Griffin, vice president of project development; and Matt Delaney, senior forester. "Team members have had a hand in more than a dozen forest carbon projects, including all three projects registered and approved under The Climate Action Reserve's [CAR] protocol. You won't find more forest carbon expertise under one roof," he said. Nissenbaum, who for three years has been chairman of the board of directors of ImageTree Corp., a forestry industry technology-solutions company based in West Va., said that keeping forest carbon sequestered has been recognized as a necessity to meet global emission reductions.
