The study highlights an impressive carbon sequestration potential of 11.33 million tons of CO₂ equivalent over the next 50 years.

The project builds on a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Carbon Assets and the Jigawa State government on July 2, 2024.

Spanning 32,000 hectares across three ecological zones, the initiative involves planting over 4 million trees, generating annual carbon credits of 226,527 tCO₂e. It is expected to yield between $48 million and $144 million in revenue, aligning with Nigeria’s commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Designed to meet global standards such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community, and Biodiversity (CCB) criteria, the project seeks to attract international investments while conserving critical habitats and supporting local communities.
