He continues, ‘without the continued support from our stakeholders, the consistent hard work from our team, and the cooperative nature of our partnerships, none of this would have been possible.”

These projects could produce up to 28 million tonnes of credits over their lifespan. The company is actively engaging with large final buyers of carbon credits, including trading houses and large final buyers, to secure co-investments and pre-purchase agreements with the goal of fully de-risking project development. Details of the underlying projects are fully disclosed in the company's filing statement including:
Entered into a carbon credit streaming agreement dated 15th August, 2022 to acquire carbon credit development rights for approximately 42,000 hectares of land located in Sierra Leone from Forest and Mangrove Protection Ltd. These projects include both mangrove restoration projects and a reforestation project.

Accelerated activity in the State of Yucatan, Mexico project which includes restoration of up to 40,000 hectares of degraded mangrove with local partners Compañía Mexicana de Captación de Carbono (CMCC). Klimat X was also pleased to announce that it was the corporate sponsor of the 2nd Mangrove Congress of America.
Silvestrum Climate Associates have completed a feasibility report confirming that there is significant potential in the State of Yucatan for restoration projects, working with local scientists with an established track record in project development.
In November, Klimat X completed its first phase of planting in 25,000 hectare carbon credit generating reforestation project in Sierra Leone.
The company participated in a recorded webinar organized by Trayport, a TMX company, to provide brokers and investors with an overview of the company’s approach in a rapidly growing market. CEO, James Tansey, was the main speaker on carbon credits markets.
In October, Klimat X welcomed Mr. Akinjide, a Partner and Co-Leader of the Global Energy and Climate Group in the London office of the law firm Fasken to the company’s board of directors.
Dr Tansey commented ‘Despite the headwinds in the global economy in 2022, we have continued to see very strong demand for carbon credits. Companies in the energy sector are recognizing record profits as a result of the dramatic increase in oil and gas prices. This means they are committed to continue down the path of meeting their net zero commitments; indeed, many stakeholders expect them to accelerate these efforts. As one of the only listed upstream owners and operators of carbon credit projects, we are uniquely positioned to generate carbon credits at scale and to sell them directly to the biggest buyers’

About Klimat X
Klimat X carries on the business of developing validated and verified carbon credits from afforestation and reforestation of degraded land areas and marine ecosystems, including mangroves, for sale into international voluntary carbon markets.
