PROJECTS

Our project selection represents an effort to advance a powerful "circular economy" solution set that perfectly aligns with current Development Finance Institution (DFI) mandates: it combines Climate Action (carbon sequestration via replanting), Industrialization (value-added MDF manufacturing), and Social Impact (smallholder income).

Leveraging Climate Finance for Rubber Sector Rehabilitation In Liberia (Through Large-Scale Replanting of Trees)

The Liberia Rubber Sector Climate Rehabilitation Program (“LRSCRP”) is a private-sector devised and led proposal to be developed in conjunction with Government of Liberia (GOL) support and official endorsement as a “Climate-Sector National Pilot Project.”

The project is an initiative for broad based, climate finance–driven reforestation on small-medium holdings of degraded secondary forest areas, and through this activity, spur the rehabilitation of Liberia’s rubber sector through the large-scale replanting of trees with associated carbon credit generation.

Rubber farms act as carbon sinks – a one-hectare plantation captures 250 tons of carbon during its productive life of 30 years (Worldwide Fund for Nature).

The project emphasizes economic revitalization, environmental sustainability, and alignment with Liberia’s national development and climate goals.

The Global Net-Zero Rubber Consortium (GNZRC)

The Global Net-Zero Rubber Consortium (GNZRC) is a sovereign-linked climate-finance facility designed to mobilize private capital for large-scale rubber-tree replanting and supply-chain decarbonization in Liberia and other developing-country producers.

The facility will provide long-term, low-cost financing to small and medium rubber farms to replant degraded or end-of-life trees, generating verified carbon credits and sustainable yield revenues.

The GNZRC transforms a long-recognized financing gap in Liberia’s rubber sector into a bankable, climate-aligned asset class using sovereign-linked green bonds and carbon-revenue backed repayment.

The GNZRC project leverages RCH’s core capabilities in project finance, sovereign-linked instruments, and blended climate capital, while deepening its focus on sustainable agriculture and nature-based solutions.

As lead arranger and advisor, RCH will originate the pipeline, coordinate government and private-sector partners, and design the capital structure, making GNZRC both a flagship engagement and a replicable template for RCH’s broader climate-finance practice.

Medium Density Fiberboard/ High Density Fiberboard (MDF/HDF) Project Development, Liberia

Project Overview

The project involves establishing a MDF/HDF plant in Liberia with a total capacity of 80,000 cubic meters per annum. The plant will utilize old rubber trees as the primary wood source and generate power using a combination of wood chips and solar energy.

MDF/HDF derived from rubberwood feedstock is considered a sustainable product because rubberwood is a renewable resource. Consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for sustainable products, driving demand for eco-friendly building materials.

“We mobilize private and institutional capital, climate finance and concessional funding sources to solve intractable financing problems for small to medium-scale enterprises in the developing world.”
