3Degrees, a leading global climate solutions provider, announced today that it will be expanding its carbon asset development capabilities in Singapore. The move will see the company developing a pipeline of projects that are aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement across Southeast Asia and beyond, supporting the region’s growing demand for credible, science-based climate action. The company brings nearly two decades of market experience and technical expertise to the region and is well-positioned to help operationalize Article 6 through high-integrity, scalable project development—enabling both environmental impact and market confidence.
This expansion will be supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB)’s Carbon Project Development grant. The grant aims to support early-stage carbon project development and financing activities for Article 6 carbon credit projects. The initiative reinforces Singapore’s position as a global hub for high-integrity climate solutions and marks a key milestone in 3Degrees’ continued expansion in Asia Pacific.
This collaboration represents a key pillar in 3Degrees’ broader Asia Pacific strategy. As regional buyers await greater clarity around compliance schemes, many remain cautious in the voluntary carbon market. By proactively developing high-quality, compliance-aligned credits, 3Degrees is helping to unlock market participation while cultivating local talent and delivering tailored solutions to new and existing clients.
The company’s strong track record in carbon project development—including methane management programs with significant untapped potential in Asia—is supported by in-house policy experts, deep origination and trading experience, and an established network of on-the-ground partners. This end-to-end value chain expertise enables 3Degrees to meet the evolving needs of its global clientele of corporate buyers and multinationals in Asia, project developers, and policymakers alike.
“As countries move to operationalize Article 6, trust and technical rigor will be essential,” said Philippe Vedrenne, CEO, 3Degrees. “Singapore has emerged as a leader in building a transparent, high-integrity carbon ecosystem—and we are honored to support that vision. With EDB’s partnership, 3Degrees is committed to building a pipeline of transformative carbon projects across Southeast Asia that deliver real impact, both for the climate and local communities.”
Mr Lim Wey-Len, Executive Vice President, EDB, said, “3Degrees’ investment in Singapore reinforces our position as an attractive carbon services and trading centre in the heart of Asia. 3Degrees’ experience in carbon project development will also support the development of such skillsets in Singapore and create good jobs for Singaporeans. We welcome more leading project developers and corporates to tap on growth opportunities in Singapore and the region.”
Singapore’s status as a base for multinational corporations and its leadership in carbon policy and innovation make it an ideal platform for regional market enablement. Through this initiative, 3Degrees will deepen engagement with local stakeholders to scale both nature-based and technology-driven carbon solutions across Southeast Asia.
The partnership was formally recognized at a signing ceremony held on 5 May 2025 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, where 3Degrees’ Board Chair and Co-Founder Dan Kalafatas joined Mr Jermaine Loy, Managing Director of EDB, and Mr Lim Wey-Len, Executive Vice President at EDB, to commemorate the collaboration.
