, /PRNewswire/ - Pantheon Regeneration PBC today announced a catalytic carbon credit pre-purchase of 100,000 credits from the Inlandsis Fund, a Canadian decarbonization fund managed by Fondaction Asset Management (FAM), to support the development and construction of its first nature-based carbon removal project. By providing catalytic capital, Inlandsis has been instrumental in supporting Pantheon’s first project, Pocosin Ecological Reserve I, the first commercial peatland restoration project in the United States.

Peatlands are among the most carbon-dense ecosystems on Earth, storing more carbon per hectare than forests and grasslands combined. When degraded, they become significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions; when restored, they function as long-term carbon sinks that also major biodiversity, water, and wildfire-risk benefits. Pantheon’s science-led peatland restoration model is designed to remove carbon from the atmosphere and generate durable, high-quality carbon removal credits at scale.

For Inlandsis, the investment marks entry into a new and critical nature-based carbon project pathway, reinforcing its reputation for backing innovative, high-integrity climate solutions. For Pantheon, in collaboration with Duke University, the deal validates a first-of-its-kind project built on deep expertise in ecology, real assets, institutional finance, and commodities.

"From our first meeting, it was clear that Inlandsis and Pantheon hold a shared vision: translating complex natural systems into investable, high-integrity climate infrastructure. Supporting Pantheon in making that vision a reality has been inspiring" said David Moffat, Managing Director of the Inlandsis Fund.

"Partnering with Inlandsis has been critical to our mission to deliver the highest quality NBS projects to the market. We are grateful for David and the team for their vision and leadership" said Tripp Wall, CEO of Pantheon Regeneration.

This financing builds on Pantheon’s growing base of institutional and mission-aligned capital, supporting the company’s goal of establishing ecosystem restoration as a scalable and investable carbon removal pathway.
