Impact Investment

The goal of VIVO Carbon is to create a rapidly scalable system utilizing agroforestry as an efficient tool to capture CO2 while regenerating eco-systems.

In December 2023 VIVO Carbon was founded as a registered charity venture.
Currently we are looking for partners and supporters to build and finance the necessary structures such as an expert team and a professional certification standard (DIN-spec).
At the same time, CO2 credits can already be obtained from the first agroforestry projects in order to finance corresponding pilot projects.

The following steps are on our schedule:

• Strengthening of the team

• Finalization of legally secure contract structures for cooperation with farmers

• Preliminary standard for validation of climate benefits of agroforestry systems

• Establishment of a VIVO Carbon expert advisory board

• Broadening of the practical network for the realization and management of agroforestry system

• Development of a official German MRV-certification standard for agroforestry systems (DIN spec) with an extended consortium

• Improvement of CO2 certificates marketing structure

To achieve these goals, a one-time budget of approximately 700,000€ is required, of which about 50% is already secured. The ongoing operation of VIVO Carbon will be financed in the future by a part of the CO2 certificate sales revenues (about 20% of the certificate price).

We focus on the critical success factors for rapid and effective implementation of agroforestry systems:

• low entry barriers for farmers

• high climate and environmental impact

• Creating examples, references and demonstating the benefits of agroforestry systems
