Australian Integrated Carbon (Ai Carbon), established in 2016, is a project developer focused on generating Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) through nature-based methods. The company partners with landholders, including farmers and Indigenous communities, to create additional revenue streams while improving environmental outcomes. Ai Carbon's business model centers on developing and managing carbon farming projects, primarily through methods like Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) and Reforestation by Environmental Plantings. The company generates revenue by sharing in the proceeds from the sale of ACCUs, which are sold to the government or private industries seeking to offset their emissions. Unlike a fixed-price model, Ai Carbon aims to secure the highest market price for the credits to maximize returns for both the landholders and the company.
The firm was co-founded by Australian entrepreneurs and is led by CEO Adam Townley, a chartered accountant with extensive experience in financial markets and carbon funds. The leadership team also includes Head of Science and Strategy Hafiz Stewart, an ecologist with over 25 years of experience in Australian rangelands. Ai Carbon holds an Australian Financial Services Licence, allowing it to manage the sale and marketing of ACCUs and structure forward sales to manage cashflow. The company has a portfolio of over 40 projects across Australia. Key investors include Mitsubishi Corporation, Rio Tinto, Osaka Gas Energy Oceania, and Bentleys Australia, reflecting significant interest from major industrial and financial players in the Australian carbon market.
