Aberdeen Group backs Scottish peatland restoration with carbon unit purchase agreement
  • Aberdeen Group agreed to purchase 6,447 validated Pending Issuance Units linked to peatland restoration at Armadale Farm in Scotland’s Flow Country.
  • The units correspond to residual Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions for 2023–2025; they are not currently verified offsets.
  • Successful verification under the UK Peatland Code would convert them into Peatland Carbon Units, potentially available for retirement against residual operational emissions.
  • The purchase supports long-term management of a project that has restored more than 690 hectares of peatland.
  • Operational targets include an 85% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 against 2018 levels, with net zero by 2040.
