SDG Impact
The Massangui Carbon Project is a large-scale afforestation and REDD+ initiative in the Republic of the Congo, covering 23,000 hectares dedicated to forestry and agricultural activities. The project aims to conserve existing forests while restoring degraded land through tree planting and sustainable land-use practices.
Within this landscape, approximately 5,000 hectares are dedicated to REDD+ activities focused on preventing carbon loss from illegal logging and fires, while around 18,000 hectares are targeted for afforestation at a density of about 800 trees per hectare in non-forested areas. The afforestation component includes harvesting of eucalyptus species in years 10, 11, and 12 (33.3% each year), followed by regrowth cycles. The carbon removals achieved through this managed system are quantified as removal carbon credits.
The project is designed to contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through emissions reductions, improved livelihoods, education and training, and the sustainable management of land and forest resources.
By creating employment opportunities for both men and women, the project supports inclusive economic development and promotes fair, decent working conditions.
Over the project’s lifetime, an estimated 2.8 million tCO₂e will be avoided and/or sequestered through conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of forests, water, and soils.
Conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of forests and other natural resources ensure long-term ecological health and resilience of the landscape.

Our proprietary digital monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) solution delivers real-time data and actionable insights across the entire carbon project lifecycle. Intuitive, tailored dashboards enable seamless validation, monitoring, and reporting for all stakeholders.
From UV index to soil moisture and pH levels, key environmental metrics are monitored using AI, sensor networks, and satellite technology. This ensures transparency, robust data quality, and integrity beyond standards for both A/R and REDD+ components.
