What is the Carbon Impact Capital Project?
Carbon Impact Capital (CIC) is on a mission to transform a billion lives by building the future of clean energy. Based in Singapore, CIC is creating an integrated, technology-enabled bioenergy business that turns agricultural waste and energy crops into reliable, traceable green fuel. This isn’t just about energy—it’s about delivering real value for industry, farmers, and the planet. Their approach is simple yet powerful: Farm2Furnace. From the fields to the furnace, CIC’s platform ensures a seamless flow of sustainable bioenergy that supports climate action and rural economies alike.
Main Benefits of the CIC Bioenergy Solution
Solid biofuels from CIC offer a scalable, sustainable alternative to coal. Here’s why it matters:
- Biomass briquettes and pellets made from renewable feedstocks
- Agricultural residue feedstock solves waste disposal problems and boosts farmer incomes
- Energy plantations feedstock enables high carbon capture per acre and improves soil carbon, biodiversity, and productivity on marginal lands
- Solid biofuels have similar costs and energy characteristics as coal, making them a commercially viable substitute
The Vision Behind CIC
CIC sees bioenergy as the next big frontier in the global energy transition. Their ambition? To build a fully integrated, technology-driven renewable carbon platform that scales from Farm2Furnace. This means delivering reliable green energy while creating measurable social and environmental value. The goal is clear: deploy a nationwide feedstock network across India, develop modular biomass pelleting plants near industrial hubs, forge long-term supply partnerships with industries committed to decarbonization, and create significant rural income opportunities by integrating thousands of farmers. It’s a bold vision, but one that’s grounded in real-world impact.
How CIC Stands Out
What makes CIC different? It’s their commitment to best-in-class processes for emission reductions and traceability. They manage carbon projects based on recognized global standards, ensuring high environmental integrity and transparency. Their projects don’t just reduce carbon emissions—they also contribute to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, benefiting local communities. Plus, CIC’s leadership in sustainability was recognized with the SL25 2024 award, naming them one of the top 25 financially viable solutions for environment and society in Asia Pacific. That’s no small feat, considering the award is co-curated by heavyweights like SAC, INSEAD Hoffmann Global Institute, WTW, and The Straits Times.
Why Bioenergy is a Win-Win
Bioenergy isn’t just an energy solution—it’s an economic and environmental catalyst. By replacing coal with biomass, CIC is building an ecosystem that benefits everyone involved. For farmers, it means new and diversified income streams from crop residues, invasive species, and energy crops, all backed by transparent payment systems and local aggregation hubs. For industry, it offers a cost-competitive, traceable green energy supply that helps reduce carbon exposure and supports ESG commitments. Governments gain improved energy security, lower imports, better farm incomes, and measurable progress toward national climate goals. The planet benefits from a scalable pathway to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce air pollution caused by crop residue burning. And shareholders? They get the chance to generate attractive returns while taking positive climate action and supporting vulnerable farmers.

Partnering for a Cleaner Future
CIC’s CAPS model is the blueprint for delivering bioenergy at scale. It integrates every stage of the value chain to ensure reliability, cost-efficiency, and traceable climate impact. Whether you’re an investor, industrial customer, or policy partner, CIC invites collaboration to accelerate the transition from coal to clean energy. The vision is clear: transform a billion lives today by building a sustainable bioenergy ecosystem that works for farmers, industries, governments, and the planet. It’s a future worth investing in—and one that’s already taking shape.
