LONDON - January 3, 2025 - FG Capital Advisors announces an expanded investment initiative offering corporations and high-net-worth individuals a unique opportunity to finance the redevelopment of historically underutilized mining, oil, and forest sites throughout the Congo Basin. Emphasizing the critical role of peatlands in global climate stability, these projects will adhere to the highest carbon standards — including VCS and REDD+ — while also leveraging blockchain technology for enhanced measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV).
This broader scope follows recent events such as the Democratic Republic of Congo’s cancellation of a licensing round for 27 oil blocks in October 2024. As the Congo Basin spans multiple countries and hosts some of the world’s most carbon-rich peatlands, FG Capital Advisors aims to create viable alternatives that balance regional development with urgent climate goals.
Although the firm itself is relatively new, Founder and Managing Director Kenny Kayembe brings extensive experience in physical commodity trading and mining exploration finance. His established network across government and private sectors—encompassing multiple Congo Basin nations and major commodity firms — enables FG Capital Advisors to navigate local regulations effectively and foster inclusive community partnerships.
Once funding is secured, FG Capital Advisors will:
- Identify and Acquire Key Sites — including peatlands and forested regions—ideal for carbon sequestration and renewable energy deployment.
- Assemble Specialized Teams — drawing on expertise in environmental science, engineering, and project development — to ensure viable and impactful projects.
- Implement Verified Carbon Projects — aligned with best-in-class standards (VCS, REDD+) and subject to third-party audits, satellite-based monitoring, and AI-driven data analytics.
While the firm embraces well-established frameworks like VCS and REDD+, it also deploys blockchain as a complementary layer for MRV, ensuring maximum transparency, preventing double-counting, and reinforcing investor confidence.
Quote from Kenny Kayembe, Founder and Managing Director, FG Capital Advisors “By moving beyond traditional conservation approaches, we’re integrating financial innovation, renewable energy, and strong local partnerships to tackle the most pressing climate challenges in the Congo Basin. Our goal is to generate high-integrity carbon offsets that simultaneously create economic value for surrounding communities. We see this as the path to transforming potential into impact — and once investors witness the caliber of these projects, we expect even greater momentum.”
A Carbon Token offering is planned for late 2025, providing an additional avenue for investors to realize returns on verified credits. In the interim, FG Capital Advisors will operate through a conventional project-finance model, deploying capital directly into site acquisition, project development, and ongoing oversight.
