NEW YORK - September 3, 2025 - FG Capital Advisors, a Structured Trade and Commodity Finance advisory firm active in metals and environmental commodities, has been engaged by Pro Carbon Service LLP, a Kazakhstan-registered subsidiary established to manage land rights for carbon projects, to conduct a carbon credit feasibility study for Karasu-Astyk, one of Kazakhstan’s largest agro-industrial groups.
The mandate, effective July 31, 2025, will assess how Karasu-Astyk’s operations can generate high-quality, verifiable carbon credits, and prepare the commercial and legal structure for long-term financing through a carbon stream facility.
Karasu-Astyk operates approximately 200,000 hectares of farmland, supported by modern grain elevators, livestock, processing plants, and fuel distribution infrastructure. The company has invested heavily in sustainable practices such as no-till farming, rotational cropping, and biogas production from agricultural waste, creating a strong base for measurable carbon sequestration and emission reduction projects.
The study is structured in two stages:
● Phase 1 – Technical Feasibility and Methodology: Assessment of project types including soil carbon sequestration, regenerative agriculture, and biochar production. This stage will conclude with the selection of the most appropriate international certification standard, with Verra and Gold Standard under consideration.
● Phase 2 – Business Case and Market Readiness: Development of financial models, carbon pricing analysis, and a commercialization plan to access international offtakers.
Following the feasibility stage, FG Capital Advisors will advise on the formation of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to structure the program. Once operational, the firm will also lead the stream financing phase, arranging forward offtake agreements where investors provide upfront capital in exchange for future carbon credit deliveries.
A spokesperson for FG Capital Advisors stated that Kazakhstan has the potential to become a significant supplier of high-integrity environmental commodities, given its scale of arable land and the country’s growing alignment with international sustainability standards. The spokesperson added that by structuring the program through an SPV and preparing for stream financing, FG Capital Advisors is building a pathway that can translate Karasu-Astyk’s operational discipline into internationally recognized and bankable carbon credits.
