en.Wedoany.com Reported - US investment firm Solis Capital has announced the introduction of a flow financing model into the voluntary carbon market, with an initial focus on the Central Asia region.

The company has established a dedicated carbon flow financing vehicle to provide upfront and milestone-based funding to carbon project developers in exchange for a share of future verified emission reductions or revenue from the sale of emission reductions.

Drawing on royalty and streaming arrangements common in the mining and energy industries, the vehicle aims to help project sponsors cover early-stage costs before any emission reductions are issued. The carbon market has long faced a financing gap, as pre-issuance development costs—such as feasibility studies, land coordination, baseline surveys, and verification fees—often occur years before projects generate revenue from the sale of emission reductions.

Target project types include afforestation, reforestation, improved agricultural land management, soil organic carbon, methane reduction, and broader ecosystem restoration. The vehicle will prioritize projects with strong additionality, conservative baselines, leakage control, and transparent benefit-sharing arrangements.

Solis Capital stated that the Central Asia region, with Kazakhstan as a primary focus, was selected due to its vast agricultural land base, restoration potential, and growing relevance to global climate finance. Projects must demonstrate clear land tenure, local implementation capacity, reliable measurement and verification pathways, and compliance with recognized carbon standards.

Solis Capital spokesperson Katy Goncharova said that carbon flow financing provides a practical way for serious project developers to fund development costs before carbon credits are issued, emphasizing the need to meet institutional buyers' expectations for integrity, traceability, verification, and long-term credit quality. The company expects to collaborate with developers, land aggregators, technical advisors, and verification bodies, as well as corporate buyers seeking access to high-integrity voluntary carbon supply. The size of the fund was not disclosed.
