Executive Overview
Angola possesses world-class natural capital, including ~46 million hectares of natural forest and a vast coastline suitable for high-value "Blue Carbon" projects. However, the market is historically underdeveloped. With only one registered CDM project in its history (Gove Hydro), the nation represents a massive "greenfield" opportunity. The missing link to attracting major project developers is a credible, transparent National Carbon Registry.
~37% of Total Land Area
Lost between 2001 - 2024
Severe Market Underutilization
Natural Capital Composition
Angola's land use is dominated by forests, yet this asset is yielding almost no carbon revenue. This visual highlights the sheer scale of the resource available for REDD+ and conservation projects.
The Cost of Inaction
Tree cover loss accelerates CO2 emissions. Without a market mechanism to value standing forests, deforestation continues unchecked. The Registry incentivizes preservation.
The Solution: The Registry Flywheel
Why does Angola need us? Large developers avoid markets without legal clarity. Our Registry creates the "Trust Architecture" needed to unlock capital.
Result: Activation of Blue Carbon & REDD+ Projects
Blue Carbon Potential vs. Current State
Angola has significant coastline suitable for Mangroves (Blue Carbon), which trade at a premium compared to terrestrial carbon. Currently, this sector is untapped.
Key Stakeholders
To operationalize the registry, engagement with the following entities is critical.
MINAMB
Ministry of Environment
Primary regulatory body for NDC implementation and carbon markets.
Project Developers
Future Partners
Target entities specializing in Mangrove restoration and avoidance.
