Nonprofit carbon registry BCarbon has issued over 80,000 fully verified carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits from Carbon Rho’s Red River pilot project.
The credits were generated through forestry-based efforts that help landowners manage their natural resources while unlocking valuable economic and environmental benefits.
As shared in the announcement, the issued credits include vintages from 2023, 2024 and 2025.
This issuance came from Carbon Rho’s forest-centered CO2 management project known as the Red River pilot project, which accelerates afforestation as it scales across the 4-state region of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Launched back in 2022, this initiative aims to use carbon credit earnings to support conservation practices and the ecological benefits they help deliver.
The Red River pilot project covers a territory of over 15,000 acres of land in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Through it, the Carbon Rho team guides landowners on tree planting and adopting climate-oriented forestry practices that transform marginal farmland and other degraded working lands into sustainable forests.
The project also contributes to the enriching of local wildlife and fauna in areas of the four mentioned states, delivering meaningful positive outcomes for residents along the Red River.
By reintroducing native bottomland hardwood timber stands or boosting the well-being of existing ones, the project provides a carbon removals capacity that can ensure at least 50 years of credit permanence.

The batch of over 80,000 fully verified forestry credits by BCarbon is available to interested buyers working on sustainability strategies.
In a publication, BCarbon commented on this credit issuance, sharing that its team is pleased to see momentum building around forest-based carbon capture projects, designed to deliver measurable climate impact alongside regional co-benefits.
The registry’s comment continued, “As interest grows in durable, nature-based solutions, it’s encouraging to see continued attention on verification, long-term stewardship, and tangible outcomes for landowners and local communities.”
Carbon Rho has stated that in the next few weeks, it will share more details publicly around its Red River pilot project and the impact it has had in the 4-states region.
