Green Star Royalties Highlights NativState’s Carbon Credit Offtake Agreement with TotalEnergies
July 28, 2025, TORONTO, ON – Star Royalties Ltd. (“Star Royalties”, or the “Company”) (TSXV: STRR, OTCQX: STRFF), through its joint venture, Green Star Royalties Ltd. (“Green Star”), is pleased to highlight NativState LLC’s (“NativState”) announcement of a strategic agreement with TotalEnergies SE (“TotalEnergies”) (NYSE:TTE), whereby TotalEnergies will acquire the carbon credits generated by 13 of NativState’s Improved Forest Management (“IFM”) projects in the southeastern United States. NativState is an Arkansas-based forest carbon project developer focused on aggregating small-to-medium forest landowners into IFM projects being developed under the American Carbon Registry (“ACR”). Green Star has a portfolio of royalties on NativState’s IFM projects, which span 78,000 acres across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri.
Highlights
- Large-scale forest conservation initiative: The IFM projects included in the agreement span 247,000 acres across four U.S. states and involve over 280 private family forest landowners. The initiative delivers educational resources and forestry management support to landowners, fostering long-term stewardship and a sustainable income alternative to heavy timber harvesting.
- Significant counterparty endorsement: The strategic agreement reflects NativState’s growing track record of empowering small forest landowners to embrace sustainable forestry practices and cultivating healthier lands and stronger communities while generating high-integrity, high-demand, certified carbon credits.
- Long-duration off-take agreement: All carbon credits generated will be certified by ACR, a globally recognized standard. TotalEnergies aims to prioritize emission avoidance and reduction credits, while focussing on voluntary offsetting of its residual Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2030 onward.
- Environmental and social co-benefits: The program supports biodiversity through the preservation of high conservation value forests, streamside management, and wildlife corridors. It also enhances forest species diversity and provides technical and financial support to small landowners.
- Strategic alignment with TotalEnergies’ climate roadmap: This investment is a part of TotalEnergies plan to invest US$100 million per year to build a portfolio of projects capable of generating at least 5 million metric tons of CO2e of carbon credits per year by 2030.
Alex Pernin, Chief Executive Officer of Star Royalties, commented: “We would like to congratulate NativState and TotalEnergies on this milestone transaction. We believe that this type of strategic, long-term corporate commitment to sustainability is necessary to unlock the true potential and scalability of nature-based carbon solutions, and we are encouraged with NativState’s ongoing success in attracting landowners to improve and conserve their forests while realizing a financial return.”
