SOLUTIONS
FOR LANDOWNERS
Is your land suitable for a carbon project? How much carbon can your land sequester? How much does it cost to generate carbon credits?
WHAT WE OFFER
CPA: Carbon Potential Analysis
Description
Using KMZ files and information provided by the landowner, an analysis will be conducted to estimate the land's potential for developing a carbon project under one of the following methodologies: ARR, REDD+, ALM, or Biochar.
Objective
To estimate the land's potential for generating carbon credits based on satellite data and standardized methodologies (ARR, REDD+, ALM, or Biochar).
Design
The project design and preliminary management plan will be developed using satellite imagery, deforestation rates, biomass maps, and soil maps.
Carbon
Standardized designs and/or management practices, along with their corresponding carbon capture rates, are applied to the area eligible for carbon credit issuance to estimate a carbon potential range.
Capex / Opex
A cost range for Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) is estimated using standardized costs.
Resources Involved
Forestry Engineer (Design) / Forestry Engineer (Operations) / Design Manager / Carbon Specialist / Finance Manager.
Delivery Timeframe
4 weeks.
PIN: Project Information Note
Description
A site visit will be conducted to assess zoning, forest conservation status, degradation levels, soil strata, infrastructure, and communities. This information will be used to adjust the design and costs to define its carbon potential.
Objective
To validate the technical and operational feasibility through a site visit and refinement of the design and costs.
Design
Management plans and planting designs will be adjusted using information gathered in the field. Maps of roads, firebreaks, and conservation areas will be created.
Carbon
The number of potential carbon credits (VCUs) is defined in line with the design adjustments. The risk and preliminary buffer are calculated.
Capex / Opex
Infrastructure costs are allocated based on the findings of the field visit, and planting costs and the management plan are adjusted accordingly.
Resources Involved
Forestry Engineer (Design) / Forestry Engineer (Operations) / Design Manager / Carbon Specialist / Finance Manager / CCB Specialist / Purchasing Manager.
Delivery Timeframe
8 to 10 weeks.
FACT: Technical/Financial Feasibility Study
Description
A feasibility study provides complete and detailed information on how the project will be carried out and how the carbon potential was calculated. It includes social, legal, biodiversity, and soil organic carbon surveys, as well as forest inventories if necessary.
Objective
To deliver a comprehensive technical and financial feasibility report to guide implementation or investment.
Design
The final stand mapping and adjustment of planting designs and the forest management plan will be carried out, considering conservation areas and final biological corridors.
Carbon
The final Non-Permanent Risk and Leakage assessments will be prepared, according to the established methodologies, to calculate the final carbon potential.
Capex / Opex
The final costing of Capex and Opex will be carried out, including the social and biodiversity plan, to obtain the final cost per VCU (Value of Useful Unit).
Resources Involved
Forestry Engineer (Design) / Forestry Engineer (Operations) / Design Manager / Carbon Specialist / Finance Manager / CCB Specialist / Purchasing Manager / Legal / PMO.
Delivery Timeframe
16 to 20 weeks.
