The BioCFplus program is modeled on CDCFplus to provide project-specific support to BioCarbon Fund carbon sequestration projects in developing countries and economies in transition. The focus of this facility is on defraying project preparation costs. BioCFplus resources will also be used to disseminate lessons learned and reach out to various constituents regarding the pioneering role of the BioCarbon Fund and to highlight the development benefits of carbon sequestration projects.

The first main product of BioCFplus was two three-day training seminars for BioCF project sponsors, which were held in July and September 2005, where the market, methodological and institutional aspects of BioCF transactions were discussed. See the presentations below.
