Introduction
Scottish Forestry does not sell Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) units. We are responsible for managing the standard and ensuring that projects are independently validated/verified and represented on the UK Land Carbon Registry. We have provided links to all project developers/projects with units to sell. Note that some companies/landowners are also choosing to 'grow their own' carbon units by creating woodland on their own land. Find out more here.
Project developers with verified (WCU) units available to sell
These project developers/projects are verified at 5 years with a small number of verified Woodland Carbon Units available for sale in addition to Pending Issuance Units for future vintages. WCUs are guaranteed and you can use them against your current year's emissions. Note that there are very few WCU available to sell. 1 WCU = 1 tonne of Carbon Dioxide sequestered.

Project developers with validated (PIU) units available to sell
These project developers/projects have Pending Issuance Units available for sale for future vintages. There are a larger volume of PIUs available to sell - remember they are an 'advance' purchase and are not guaranteed. Check with the project developer the 'vintage' of the units you are purchasing (ie how far in future they are likely to be verified and converted to WCU). Remember you can't use PIUs to compensate for your current year's emissions, only to help with your future Net Zero plans. 1 PIU = 1 tonne of Carbon Dioxide equivalent that will be sequestered in future.

Markit's 'Request for Information' Platform
If you have an account on the UK Land Carbon Registry, the Request for Information Platform within the Markit Registry can also list available validated Pending Issuance Units from Woodland Carbon Code and Peatland Code projects. See also How to use the RFI platform on the registry (pdf)
