Standard Chartered unlocks real-world climate and nature outcomes with Chestnut Carbon
February 24, 2026
Chestnut Carbon is honored to be featured in the Standard Chartered 2025 Annual Report. The case study covers how Standard Chartered’s Infrastructure and Development Finance Group, with support from their Carbon Markets and Nature Finance Hubs, is unlocking real-world climate and nature outcomes with Chestnut.
Preview: Chestnut Carbon, a nature-based carbon removal developer, announced the closing of a landmark non-recourse project finance credit facility of up to $210 million in August 2025. This is one of the first applications of a commercial project financing for a US voluntary carbon removal afforestation project, with Standard Chartered participating as a mandated lead arranger alongside a syndicate of banks. This transaction marks a pivotal step towards achieving increasing commercial scale for both the company and the broader voluntary carbon market and US afforestation space.
