Carbon Direct has acquired climate technology company Pachama, integrating its digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) platform for forest carbon projects into Carbon Direct’s existing carbon management operations. The acquisition brings together Carbon Direct’s scientific advisory services and Pachama’s data-driven tools for tracking and evaluating forest carbon initiatives.
Founded in 2020, Carbon Direct works with over 150 global clients on carbon removal, measurement, and low-carbon energy solutions. Pachama, established in 2018, is recognised for developing digital MRV systems for forest-based carbon removal. Following the acquisition, Diego Saez Gil, Pachama’s co-founder and CEO, and members of his team will join Carbon Direct.
“By acquiring Pachama’s technological innovation and integrating it into Carbon Direct’s deep technical offerings, we are building the infrastructure needed to drive real climate impact,” said Jonathan Goldberg, Founder and CEO of Carbon Direct.
Saez Gil added, “This new chapter at Carbon Direct honours the mission and rigorous standards that have driven our work from the start. Together, we’ll accelerate impact and help businesses meet their climate goals.”
The acquisition aims to improve data transparency and consistency across the voluntary carbon market, expand access to verifiable nature-based carbon solutions, and strengthen digital systems for evaluating and tracking climate projects.
