Industry Problem

Oporto Carbon aims to solve the complexity, inaccessibility, and lack of transparency in the voluntary carbon market by streamlining project development, certification, and trading. It also helps organizations monetize reductions and meet evolving climate regulations.

R&D Focus

Oporto Carbon focuses its research and development on voluntary carbon markets, particularly in the development, certification, and commercialization of high-quality carbon credits through climate finance projects. Their niche lies in building Israel’s voluntary carbon market while leveraging global expertise to support local and international clients. They work at the intersection of project-based carbon financing, carbon offset verification, and streamlined credit trading, offering tailored advisory services and regulatory readiness for mechanisms such as CBAM and Article 6.

Innovative Solution

Oporto Carbon is addressing the complexity of the voluntary carbon market by offering an integrated, end-to-end solution that simplifies every stage of carbon credit development and trading. Their approach combines project financing, advisory services, and a digital marketplace to connect forward-thinking companies with high-quality, verified carbon reduction projects. They develop and certify carbon avoidance and removal projects, assist organizations in calculating emissions and building net-zero strategies, and streamline the credit registration, monitoring, and trading process.

Solution Effectiveness

Oporto Carbon effectiveness is demonstrated through its active carbon reduction projects, which together generate an estimated 150,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions reduced per year, with the ECO ENERGY project contributing 100,000 tons CO₂ eq/year and ALL RECYCLE contributing 50,000 tons CO₂ eq/year. These measurable reductions highlight the real-world climate impact of their financed and certified projects. Additionally, their structured five-step process, ranging from evaluation and certification to trading and third-party monitoring, ensures transparency, accountability, and long-term effectiveness in helping organizations move toward net-zero goals.
