LONDON, February 14, 2022 – Abatable, a carbon procurement platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with Key Carbon*, a Canadian incorporated streaming investment company that provides financing solutions for carbon projects globally in return for a share of future carbon credits.
Under the terms of the partnership, Abatable will provide Key Carbon with access to investment opportunities in carbon offsetting projects and market intelligence solutions that support its project diligence underwriting. “Abatable monitors carbon project developers globally, using a proprietary framework to identify high integrity carbon offset projects. Abatable’s project filtering, pricing intelligence and origination capabilities are highly complementary to Carbon Neutral Royalty’s core business of financing offset projects” said Brett Heath, Chairman of Key Carbon.
Abatable will also act as an exclusive distribution partner for the carbon credits generated by Key Carbon’s investments, which will be available to Abatable’s customers through its carbon procurement platform. “We are pleased that Key Carbon chose Abatable’s carbon procurement platform as a distribution channel for its diversified and high-quality carbon credit portfolio. Abatable will benefit from Key Carbon’s strong experience in streaming investment models and its access to projects. Our common vision is to accelerate the world’s transition to a net-zero future by bringing capital to carbon projects and developers that can create ecosystem value beyond carbon markets.” said Maria Filmanovic, co-founder of Abatable.
