Finite Carbon and Molpus Woodlands Group Register Little Brimstone Forest Carbon Project

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI — On behalf of the The Molpus Woodlands Group, LLC (Molpus), forest carbon offset developer Finite Carbon successfully registered the MWF Brimstone (“Little Brimstone”) Improved Forest Management Project with the California Air Resources Board (ARB) compliance offset protocol for US forests on October 27, 2015. The Little Brimstone Project is the first ARB forest offset project registered in the state of Tennessee.

Located on 4,861 acres in Tennessee’s North Cumberland Plateau, Finite Carbon, in concert with Molpus, managed all aspects of project development and provided transaction and sales support for Little Brimstone Project. “Molpus Woodlands Group is a venerable timberland manager and we are proud to help Molpus integrate carbon revenue into their forest management strategies and investment portfolio,” said Finite Carbon President Sean Carney. While Little Brimstone is the first project registered under Molpus management, in December 2014, Molpus, on behalf of a client, purchased the 103,000-acre Champion property in the New York Adirondack Mountains, which had an ARB forest offset project registered under the previous owner that was also developed by Finite Carbon.

“We’re pleased to now have two forest carbon projects under management,” said Dick Molpus, President of Molpus. “The California carbon market provided us with a unique opportunity to utilize existing sustainable practices to enhance the value on managed properties. We will continue to evaluate additional carbon opportunities as they align with our client’s objectives.”

Located northwest of Knoxville in Scott County, the Little Brimstone property offers both geographic and hardwood species diversity within Molpus’ third co-mingled investment fund. Molpus currently manages over 60,000 acres in Tennessee and two million acres across eighteen states. The Little Brimstone property is protected under a conservation easement held by the state of Tennessee and is certified under the Forest Stewardship Council standard.

In addition to the Little Brimstone Project, Finite Carbon is now completing its second ARB compliance offset project in Tennessee for the Tennessee River Gorge Trust in Chattanooga. To date, Finite Carbon has registered eight California ARB compliance forest offset projects and has another 21 under development for a diverse group industrial, investment, conservation, family, and tribal landowners.
