Acquisition enhances Senken’s ability to finance climate projects earlier, giving companies better pricing, supply security, and greater transparency.
Berlin, April 23, 2025 – Senken, the leading marketplace for high-integrity carbon credits, today announced the acquisition of Ivy, a specialist in early-stage climate project financing. This acquisition strengthens Senken’s ability to support climate projects from day one, unlocking new benefits for corporate buyers seeking earlier and more cost-effective access to verified carbon credits, as well as complete visibility into project impact.
With Ivy’s pre-financing suite and network of vetted early-stage projects, Senken can now offer forward purchase agreements, enabling companies to secure high-quality carbon credits before they reach the open market. This gives buyers three key advantages:
- Preferential pricing by funding projects before certification
- Security of supply in a tightening carbon market
- Greater transparency through long-term visibility into project development and impact
“Acquiring Ivy accelerates our mission to make climate finance smarter, earlier, and more accountable,” said Adrian Wons, CEO of Senken.
Corporate buyers on Senken can now access future carbon credits at better prices, while directly supporting projects aligned with their sustainability values. This positions Senken as the go-to platform for companies serious about long-term climate impact.
Ivy has built tools and processes to assess, structure, and finance early-stage carbon projects. By integrating these capabilities, Senken becomes one of the few platforms capable of serving the full project lifecycle—from pre-financing to credit issuance and retirement, ensuring .
“For us, this is the ideal next chapter,” said Niklas Terrahe, CEO and Founder of Ivy. “We built Ivy to close the funding gap for early climate projects. Joining Senken means we can scale that impact dramatically — bringing more high-quality projects to market and giving buyers the transparency and access they’ve been asking for.”
Companies using Senken will start seeing new early-access offerings in the coming weeks, with tailored support for corporate sustainability teams looking to align their carbon credit strategy with long-term climate goals.
