United States: TotalEnergies Expands Its Investments in Sustainable Forestry Operations to Preserve Carbon Sinks
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) signed an agreement with NativState, an Arkansas-based forest carbon project developer, to conserve forests from land conversion and heavy timber harvesting. The transaction includes 13 Improved Forest Management (IFM) projects located in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, U.S.A, covering 100,000 hectares (247,000 acres) owned by more than 280 private family forest landowners. The carbon program managed by NativState offers landowners a sustainable income alternative to this region's common practice of heavy timber harvesting while restoring forest health and improving carbon stocks. This investment will support sustainable forest practices, such as identifying and preserving high conservation value forests, implementing best management practices for streamside management zones, improving forest species diversity, and conserving wildlife corridors. It will also generate social benefits to small landowners such as forestry management education and technical support, as well as financial benefits by giving them access to voluntary carbon markets. All carbon credits generated by the project will be certified by the ACR, an internationally recognized carbon crediting program, and will be acquired by TotalEnergies. After prioritizing emission avoidance and reduction, the Company will use these credits from 2030 onwards to voluntarily offset part of its remaining direct Scope 1 & 2 emissions. 'TotalEnergies confirms its commitment to support the conservation and enhancement of carbon sinks, with local value creation', said Adrien Henry, Vice President Nature Based Solutions at TotalEnergies. 'We are thrilled to support NativState to scale up their operations, directly benefiting the environment and their local communities.' 'We, at NativState, are honored and deeply grateful for our partnership with TotalEnergies and our forest landowner families, which creates extraordinary opportunities to build a lasting legacy for small forest landowners in our communities across the southern United States while supporting TotalEnergies in addressing the challenges of global energy markets,' said Stuart Allen, NativState Founder and CEO. 'It is a privilege to empower these landowners to embrace sustainable forestry practices, cultivating healthier lands and stronger communities for generations to come.' *** About TotalEnergies Nature Based Solutions As part of its climate ambition, and in addition to its existing actions to avoid and reduce emissions, TotalEnergies works with many local partners around the world to develop and conserve natural carbon sinks, while helping to preserve or improve their biodiversity.

NativState Completes Third High-Quality Carbon Project Verification
Small landowners in thriving timber region profit from forest carbon project CONWAY, Ark., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Conway, AR-based forest carbon developer NativState, LLC ( today announced the verification of the ACR 801 Mixed Upland Forests of the Ozarks & Ouachita Mountains project. This project aggregates approximately 6,100 acres of sustainably managed forestland across northern Arkansas. The initial issuance is for more than 81,000 credits with many more projected over the forty-year life of the project. ACR 801 is our third successfully verified project to create high-quality carbon credits. The project's credits are independently verified to comply with the ACR Improved Forest Management (IFM) methodology. The families included in this project have made significant commitments by enrolling their land in NativState's forest carbon credit program. Within 75 miles of more than 45 active timber mills, these landowners could receive a significant profit from harvesting the hardwood growing in their forests. Their choice to allow the forest to grow naturally with significantly limited harvesting and sustainable forest management practices as well as their commitment to forest stewardship for forty years is a meaningful contribution to global climate solutions. This release marks another milestone for NativState, as the company has now verified and issued its third high-quality nature-based carbon credit project with several more in the process of verification. Overall, the company has entered into agreements with small private forest landowners to conserve over 500,000 acres across the United States, representing one of the largest private forest conservation programs in the country. "The aggregated land comprising ACR 801 is located in the middle of a thriving timber industry," said NativState Founder and CEO Stuart Allen. "By entering NativState's Carbon Agreement, and with verification through ACR, we can assure landowners a meaningful financial return on the forest lands without aggressive harvesting, while developing a number of high-quality carbon credits for our industry partners." Upon verification, a significant portion of ACR 801's carbon credits were sold to strategic partners, and credits are still available for purchase by organizations seeking to address their emission reduction goals through the conservation of these vital natural resources. NativState extends its sincere appreciation to these corporate partners. By partnering with NativState and landowners, these organizations are not only advancing their emission reduction goals but are also playing a vital role in conserving critical ecosystems and supporting rural communities. "NativState is supporting forest conservation for smaller landowners through participation in the Voluntary Carbon Market," said Dr. Kurt Krapfl, Forestry Director at ACR. "NativState offers landowners an alternative revenue stream while protecting water quality, biodiversity and the future of their forestlands for generations to come. Reducing carbon levels in the atmosphere from commercially mature forests through a long-term commitment to carbon removal and emission reductions, represents a 'here and now' positive impact for both the climate and the environment." Each NativState Improved Forest Management (IFM) project follows strict processes for third-party audit and verification, and represents important markers for creating high-quality nature-based forest carbon credits including: Additionality – NativState's projects are in the heart of timber country in the Southern United States, and primarily commercially viable and mature forests are enrolled in the program. Reducing emissions at the source – The carbon reduction credits generated by NativState programs represent efficient and immediate impact through mature forest conservation. Each project also includes carbon removal credits to ensure durable decreases in atmospheric carbon levels. Generational stewardship – Through a decades-long carbon agreement, NativState's landowner partners are making a generational commitment to conservation. Co-Benefits – Improvements in biodiversity and water and soil quality are all natural outcomes of forest conservation across NativState's footprint. The mixed hardwood stands, streams and rivers in this project play an important role in protecting endangered species including the yellowcheek darter.
