Air, water, food, shelter, income: nature sustains every aspect of our lives. That's why protecting and conserving nature isn't just a matter of common sense. It's the smartest investment we can make.
Since our founding in 1951, The Nature Conservancy has harnessed the power of nature to help solve our planet’s most challenging problems. And while the stakes are high, so is our resolve: to create a world where everyone thrives alongside nature for generations to come.
We do this by working hand in hand with communities around the world. By committing to a science-based, non-partisan approach that’s stood the test of time. And by bringing people together, from all walks of life, to find common ground in nature.
Our mission is to accelerate the move to a decarbonised future. Climate pioneers for more than 20 years, we partner with leading businesses, governments and financial institutions to accelerate their route to Net Zero. We are your expert guide to turn your climate ambition into impact. To date, our global network of 400 experts has helped set over 200 science-based targets and guided more than 3,000 organisations and cities across five continents on their route to Net Zero.
Airfix – a new subsidiary of South Pole – combines decades of climate finance and carbon project development expertise with a vision for a scalable Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) market in Switzerland and beyond.
Airfix supports biogenic carbon emitters to develop and finance carbon removal and storage, giving investors the confidence to invest in BiCRS while producing certified carbon removal credits, underpinned by significant emissions reductions.
We aim to capture 5,000,000 tonnes of CO₂e in 10 years.
By creating a cohesive ecosystem for BiCRS projects, we simplify the complex value chain for biogenic emitters, providing investors with attractive opportunities for low-carbon investments and drive carbon finance into the BiCRS market by working with carbon standards to produce certified carbon credits.

Biomass with Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) is a process that captures carbon emissions from organic material and stores this carbon geologically or in durable products. BiCRS uses proven technology that holds significant potential in industries such as biomass or biogas plants, wastewater treatment plants and waste incineration plants.
