Could you give a simplified example of why a landowner partner with you? Let's say I just bought 30 acres of recently cut timberland, and I want to repopulate the forest just for my own enjoyment of nature alongside the cabin I'd build.

What would be my savings in the short term, vs what I could earn from carbon capture/timber if I paid for the planting myself?

Also, how does this work out in the US, where the tax system and farm subsidies distort the market?

(Plenty of people here could burn $10-100K / year for a few years, and turn an after-tax profit...)

It sounds like they're brokering in carbon tax credits, especially given the new U.S. subsidies for carbon capture.

i.e. We'll give you seeds to plant on your own land but we retain all the rights to carbon subsidies and credits.
