About CSX Carbon

We’re delivering a trusted, science-led approach to BNG & carbon measurement.

CSX’s purpose is to help develop a trusted BNG & carbon market, offering land managers a fair return for environmental management and businesses a transparent, verified carbon offset.

CSX was established in January 2020 by entrepreneurial land managers and woodland creators, frustrated by the existing voluntary carbon market mechanisms. They saw that new technologies could be integrated and utilised to deliver integrity to the scaling of private sector investment into Nature Based Solutions.

Brexit meant the loss of the CAP funding mechanism, and the focus shifting towards habitat restoration. Andy Howard recognised that land managers could use technology to collect and analyse the data necessary to provide an accurate measurement of carbon sequestration. Moreover, that same data could provide corporates with the audit and verification necessary to underpin an ESG investment.

Using data to facilitate positive trading in carbon, BNG and nature credits, measuring and monitoring the impact these solutions have over time.
