Royalty Strucutre

  • 20% project royalty on voluntary carbon offsets generated across ~18,000 acres of improved forest management practices in Arkansas
  • Project ACR 783 issued its first carbon offsets in 2024 and is expected to issue carbon offsets until 2043

Overview

  • Project ACR 783 is located over four counties across southcentral Arkansas, where forestland is typically managed to maximize investment by cutting trees as soon as they have grown to commercial maturity. Under the project, carbon offsets are generated by harvesting more sustainably, leading to fewer disturbances on the landscape, increasing biodiversity of the forest, and improving habitat protection for species of concern.
  • Project ACR 783 has already issued ~186,000 offsets to Green Star since its first issuance in 2024

Asset Description

PROJECT ACR 783 – THE S&J TAYLOR FOREST CARBON PROJECT, ARKANSAS

Project ACR 783 is a verified and already-issuing project and represents approximately 18,000 acres of sustainably managed forestland across Southcentral Arkansas. This project is expected to generate carbon offsets over the next twenty years. Green Star Royalties owns a 20% royalty on this project, which issued and sold its first carbon offsets in March 2024.

The S&J Taylor Forest Carbon Project aims to conserve Saline River bottoms riparian hardwoods and pines in Arkansas. Project ACR 783 aims to maintain forest CO2e stocks by certified and sustainable management while accomplishing significant carbon sequestration and providing important co-benefits to the Ouachita watershed, local communities, and improved water resources to downstream communities throughout the Gulf Coastal Plain Region. Large tracts of riparian bottomland hardwoods that are part of this project act as essential buffers from runoff to the river and to the habitat of the endemic freshwater Arkansas fatmucket mussels.
