Karbon‑X Corp. announced a new phase of its Sur del Meta Project in Colombia’s Meta department, expanding the protected area to 40,637 hectares and supporting nearly 1,000 local families. The update adds more than 100 permanent monitoring plots, installs camera traps to track wildlife, and creates community‑led governance corporations that give local stakeholders a direct role in project management and benefit sharing.
The Sur del Meta Project, registered under the VERRA standard on July 16 2024, is projected to avoid more than 3.7 million tonnes of CO₂e over its lifetime. The project’s design shifts communities from deforestation‑driven cattle ranching to sustainable agriculture such as cacao, coffee, and citrus, addressing both environmental and social objectives in a region still affected by Colombia’s armed conflict.
Karbon‑X’s expansion aligns with its recent acquisition of ALLCOT, a global sustainability advisory firm, which broadened the company’s project development expertise and digital infrastructure. By integrating ALLCOT’s policy guidance and regional experience, Karbon‑X can accelerate the rollout of high‑quality REDD+ projects and strengthen its vertically integrated platform that spans project origination, monitoring, and market distribution.
Financially, the expansion comes as Karbon‑X reported a 27,883% year‑over‑year increase in Q1 2026 revenue, rising to $35.7 million from $127,429 in Q1 2025. The surge reflects growing demand for carbon credits and the company’s expanding project pipeline, of which Sur del Meta is a key contributor. The project’s long‑term carbon avoidance potential supports future revenue streams from verified credits.
Management emphasized the dual environmental and social impact of the expansion. Chief Sustainability Investment Officer Alexis Leroy said, “Sur del Meta shows what climate action looks like when people and nature move in the same direction. By restoring degraded lands and strengthening community livelihoods, we’re turning reforestation into a pathway for resilience, dignity, and shared prosperity.” CEO Chad Clovis added that the company’s “record revenue, disciplined capital structure, and expanding technology platform position us to lead the next wave of innovation in sustainability.”
While no specific market reaction data is available for this announcement, the project’s alignment with Karbon‑X’s strategy to deliver measurable climate impact and social co‑benefits reinforces investor confidence in the company’s long‑term growth trajectory.
