Growthink Curbs Carbon: I-Bank Partners With International Wood Company to
Provide Industry With $300 Million in Carbon Offset Capacity
LOS ANGELES, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Growthink, the leading Strategic
Advisory and Investment Banking Services Firm to Emerging and Middle Market
Enterprises, announced today that the Firm has been named advisor of record to
International Wood Company (IWC), a global forestry investment firm.
IWC, which owns two million acres of rainforest located in the Amazon, has
partnered with Growthink to develop an analytical model which assesses the
property's current market value and its potential to provide carbon credits to
companies seeking to reduce their greenhouse emissions.
"Our work with IWC is just the type of highly sophisticated capital and
advisory project that showcases our unique expertise," said Emily Burg,
Growthink's Director of Strategy. "The two-phase valuation model we're
developing for IWC informs the Company of the current market value of its real
estate assets. Most importantly, we can monetize the carbon neutralization
capacity of two million acres of rainforest, through issuing carbon credits
that can be traded via the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). We estimate that
IWC can provide as much as $300 million in carbon credits to companies seeking
to reduce their carbon emissions."
Growthink's work on behalf of IWC represents one of a group of projects
from the Firm's robust alternative energy practice. Presently, Growthink is
providing advisory and capital services to approximately twelve companies
developing alternative energy technologies
