Revolving Carbon Fund

i2 Capital is partnered with Ecosystem Services Market Consortium to introduce the Revolving Carbon Fund (RCF), a conservation finance model that engages with private landowners to expand carbon sequestration and emission reduction practices on productive agricultural lands. Conservation measures focus on enhancement of soil health and related carbon sequestration and emission reduction through changes in farming, fertilizer application, manure management and technology practices alongside long-term expansion and protection of forested ecosystems. The RCF coalesces impact capital to develop verified carbon units that meet rigorous requirements of Scope 3 carbon insets for corporate sustainability solutions. While markets for such benefits remain largely voluntary in the United States, i2 Capital believes such carbon markets will advance as corporate sustainability strategies expand and political and economic pressures around sustainability intensify.
