This purchase of improved forest management credits reflects a growing shift toward a higher-quality carbon market

Text size:

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / April 9, 2026 / Anew Climate has issued over 85,000 metric tons of premium Aurora Sustainable Lands carbon credits to leading carbon removal purchaser JPMorganChase to support their high-integrity carbon management strategy. The credits, generated from the Little Bear Forestry Project, incorporate dynamic baselining, representing a meaningful step in the evolution of forest carbon accounting.

The Little Bear Forestry Project is a 38,536-acre forest property located along the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia and Virginia, owned and managed by Aurora Sustainable Lands. Anew developed the project under the American Carbon Registry (ACR) Improved Forest Management (IFM) 2.1 methodology with the support of its proprietary Epoch technology platform.

"This transaction reflects where the carbon market is heading," said Joshua Strauss, President of Environmental Products at Anew Climate. "Leading buyers are increasingly prioritizing CCP-aligned methodologies and dynamic baselines that stand up to the highest scrutiny. Anew and Aurora are thrilled to be at the vanguard of this market and able to provide JPMorganChase, and other discerning buyers, with these premium quality credits."

Dynamic baselining is an advanced carbon quantification approach, designed to accurately reflect real-world forest management and market conditions, helping ensure credited climate benefits more closely reflect realistic management alternatives rather than static assumptions. Through its proprietary Epoch platform, Anew supports the application of dynamic baselines across its IFM portfolio using high-resolution remote sensing, satellite-based carbon tracking, machine learning, and ground observations to enhance verified climate impact. JPMorganChase's appreciation for the use of dynamic baselining on Little Bear reflects a broader shift among leading buyers toward carbon credits that prioritize transparency, durability, and environmental integrity.

"We were excited to add credits from the Little Bear Forestry Project to our carbon removal portfolio," said Taylor Wright, Head of Operational Sustainability at JPMorganChase. "The dynamic baselining provides meaningful evidence that these credits meet a high threshold for quality, supporting our interests as both a buyer and as a steward of market integrity."

Aurora's management approach prioritizes climate-adaptive silviculture, long-term forest health, and sustained carbon storage.

Carbon revenue supports these practices by giving landowners flexibility to pursue alternative and complementary uses for their forests, such as conservation, habitat enhancement, and recreation, rather than relying solely on traditional commercial timber activities.

"Little Bear shows the positive impact of climate-focused forest management," said Jamie Houston, CEO of Aurora Sustainable Lands. "Our nature-based approach with a carbon stewardship goal offers real climate benefits, while also safeguarding species diversity, habitat, water quality, and ecosystem integrity."

Anew Climate developed and marketed the credits on behalf of Aurora, supporting JPMorganChase's procurement of credits as part of their broader operational sustainability strategy, aligned with evolving best practices and expectations for quality in voluntary carbon markets.
