For impact investors
Climate Impact, Backed by Measurement
SelvaFlux turns a newly measured climate service, the methane that forests absorb through their bark, into revenue for the high-integrity forest projects that need it. The science was published in Nature in 2024. This page is an overview; our detailed investor materials are available on request.
The opportunity
High-Integrity Forest Carbon Is Constrained by Finance
Buyers are committing capital faster than credible forest-carbon projects can be built. These projects are expensive to implement and to measure to a standard that buyers trust, and carbon revenue often does not cover the total, so good projects stall. SelvaFlux adds a measured revenue stream that no methodology counts today: the methane a forest absorbs through its bark.
What better economics does for forestsWhy it matters
A Potent Sink No One Has Priced
Near-Term Cooling
Methane is short-lived and far more potent than carbon dioxide while it is in the air, so a forest that takes it up delivers cooling on a timescale that matters now.
Measured and Published
The sink was measured across upland forests worldwide and published in Nature in 2024, with our founder a co-author. SelvaFlux quantifies it from field measurement and remote sensing.
Better Economics, More Forest
Crediting the methane improves a project’s economics, which helps more high-integrity forest projects get financed and built. The impact case is worked through on the impact page.
Investor materials
Ahead of a Forming Market
SelvaFlux is first to take bark methane to registry scale, on science already published and independently corroborated. Our detailed investor materials, including the economics and the roadmap, are shared on request.
