Blue Carbon S2C (“BC-S2C”) purpose is to achieve real action on climate change at scale, by developing and financing blue, teal and green carbon projects as well as trading our own and third-party carbon credits and co-benefits.
BC-S2C can potentially develop and finance your project if there is commercial and strategic alignment.
The role of a project developer for our projects or on behalf of a project sponsor (your project) is very similar.

Problems that third-party projects may encounter
Problems specific to Australian blue carbon project developers (suppliers of blue carbon credits) include:
- New sector – makes funding challenging for risk-averse investors.
- Legislation and policy – Australia currently has only one method for blue carbon crediting; new methods are still evolving.
- Scale – a requirement for a minimum economically viable project area.
- Stakeholder engagement – multiple groups over the project term (25- 100 years of engagement).
- Approvals and tenure – can be complex, time-consuming and costly.
- Funding – access to low-cost patient funding is a challenge.
- Revenue from credits – in many cases, is not enough to cover costs for small projects.
- Time taken – long payback period for small projects.
- Costs of restoration – depending on the method used for restoration, costs can be high.
- Resourcing – skilled and unskilled labour and equipment.
- Plant inventory – plant supply for large projects can be.
The solution
