If you would like to submit your project idea to the Carbon Finance Unit (CFU), we ask that you put your project idea in the form of a Project Idea Note (PIN). The first contact between the CFU and project proponents is through a PIN. This is a short form (about 6 pages) that provides the basic information about the project.
Also, a financial analysis model is mandatory when submitting your PIN. If you do not yet have a full financial analysis, please use the template supplied below. This allows the CFU to determine the financial viability of your project.
If your PIN is for the Community Development Carbon Fund (CDCF) we ask that you complete the Community Benefits Questionnaire (link below) to help us access the community benefits arising from your project.
Once you have filled out the PIN template and any other additional documents, please send them to [email protected].
The PIN is used as a first screening and to provide feedback to the proponents. At this stage it is purely the exchange of an idea and there are no legal obligations on either party to proceed further. Your project will be reviewed and comments will be provided in due time.
