8 Best Anew Climate Alternatives & Competitors (2026)

Pachama uses satellite AI to monitor forest carbon projects across many geographies and standards. It offers a marketplace for verified credits with an emphasis on transparency and scale. Compared with Living Carbon's narrow focus on US mine-land reforestation and proprietary poplar genetics, Pachama aggregates dozens of projects, which can mean broader selection but less direct control over site-specific restoration methods or landowner revenue models.

Indigo Ag runs a soil carbon program that pays farmers for practice changes on working lands. Its model centers on agricultural soils rather than reforestation. Versus Living Carbon's mine-land tree planting and biomass focus, Indigo provides annual contract flexibility for farmers but does not generate the same forest biodiversity or long-term timber value outcomes.

South Pole develops and sells nature-based carbon projects worldwide, including forestry. It offers large-scale credit portfolios and advisory services. In contrast to Living Carbon's US-only mine restoration and enhanced-tree R&D, South Pole spans multiple continents and project types, giving buyers more volume options but potentially lower per-project additionality specificity.

Nori operates a blockchain-based marketplace focused on US soil and forest carbon removal with a simplified credit standard. It targets smaller buyers seeking affordable offsets. Living Carbon's direct offtakes and mine-land emphasis differ from Nori's open marketplace approach, which can result in faster transactions but fewer custom biomass or large-scale corporate agreements.

Finite Carbon develops forest carbon projects on private US timberland using traditional improved forest management. It works with landowners on sustainable harvesting. Compared with Living Carbon's degraded-land restoration and non-harvest focus, Finite emphasizes working forests and established verification protocols rather than mine reclamation or enhanced genetics.

Terraformation accelerates reforestation through technology, nurseries, and funding for large-scale planting. It operates globally with an emphasis on speed and scale. Living Carbon's US mine-land niche and poplar breeding program contrast with Terraformation's broader international scope and reliance on standard species and community partnerships.

Mossy Earth funds rewilding and tree-planting projects with an emphasis on biodiversity and transparency. It appeals to individuals and smaller organizations. Living Carbon's corporate-scale carbon offtakes and US mine-land focus differ from Mossy Earth's smaller, donation-style international projects that lack the same credit verification volume.
