On Ceezer, 100 per cent of the carbon credit price is passed on to suppliers, which HeavyFinance said enables them to scale more quickly and accelerate positive climate action.
“This partnership is a testament to the quality and credibility of HeavyFinance’s regenerative farming projects,” HeavyFinance said.
“Passing Ceezer’s rigorous screening criteria ensures that our projects are not only legitimate but are also highly regarded in the carbon market. This is a significant assurance for our stakeholders, underscoring that their investments are secure and impactful.

“Being listed on Ceezer exposes our carbon credits to a wide audience of buyers, enhancing the visibility and marketability of our projects. This broader exposure will help us achieve our ambitious goal of removing one gigaton of CO2e through sustainable agricultural practices.”
HeavyFinance passed its €50m (£42.4m) milestone in January this year, lending to farmers across Europe.
It began generating its first nature-based carbon credits in the first half of 2024.
Last year, it launched green loans which provide European farmers with the financing required for them to transition to regenerative practices at a zero per cent interest rate. These farmers can also earn additional revenue from the sale of carbon credits generated from implementing those practices.
