About Us
Our focused long-term strategy, coupled with our strong culture and values, will chart the path to achieving our mission.
Land-Based Solutions
Part of the Solution To Climate Change
Land and sustainably managed forests are both foundational to addressing climate change, meeting our renewable energy needs, ensuring a low carbon future, and sustaining nature. Through our work with industry and conservation leaders, we are dedicated to leveraging our forestlands to optimize positive impacts.
Renewable Energy
Sustainable Energy Solutions
Renewable energy is critical to supporting growing U.S. energy needs, while also lowering carbon emissions. Our lands offer opportunities for solar and wind projects. Wood fiber from our forests can also be used for bioenergy and help to keep forests healthy. These low-carbon energy solutions provide local jobs, increase tax revenue, and make communities more livable by reducing air pollution and mitigating climate change.
Minerals
Subsurface Climate Solutions
Rayonier is well-positioned to support climate change mitigation in the form of sub-surface pore space for carbon capture storage (CCS). CO2 producers capture emissions and pipe them to our land. There, the liquid CO2 is injected deep underground (half a mile or more) into rock formations for permanent storage. In addition, some of our lands in Arkansas are suited for direct lithium extraction from brines deep in the Smackover formation. The development of lithium is critical for the domestic support of the renewable energy sector and lithium-ion batteries.
Carbon Offsets
Elevating the Role of Forests
Our forests remove and capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, providing a solution to climate change. High-quality, high integrity carbon offset projects sequester and store additional carbon while maintaining or enhancing other ecosystem benefits. We develop voluntary carbon offset projects across our sustainably managed forests and steward a compliance project in Arkansas.
Nature
Enhancing Vital Ecosystems
To address global climate change and nature loss, we need to incorporate both net-zero emissions goals and measures to protect, manage, and restore nature. Our conservation initiatives can play a crucial role in nature through biodiversity and wetland improvements. These mitigation solutions can offset the wetlands, streams, and nature impacts of human development and climate change. Our expertise in sustainably managing forests and associated ecosystems positions us to provide mitigation projects that deliver successful long-term nature-positive contributions.
