    PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

    Project design

    For EcoBase, we provided weekly responses to project design questions followed by virtual meetings for IFM ERA European projects under VM0003.

    Offset calculations

    For Eken Financing, we set parameters for more accurate offset modeling calculations for extended rotation age (ERA) intervention under a dynamic baseline methodology. We also visited the project proponents in Sweden.

    VCS PD/MR reviews

    For Forest Solution, we reviewed a draft PD/MR against the VCS standard for a Swedish boreal fertilization project.

    Standard requirements & project feasibility

    For BGCI, we led a half day virtual workshop on PIN-PD requirements for Plan Vivo 5.0 for their Kaya Connect Kenya reforestation project. We also reviewed the feasibility of their project in the field.

    Nonpermanence risk report reviews

    For Perimeter Forest, we reviewed and revised their Canadian VCS non-permanence risk report.

    Feasibility reports

    For Compass Carbon, we conducted a feasibility report of an ERA IFM project on the Olympic Peninsula, WA, USA under the ARB compliance standard using FVS modeling.

    Corporate GHG footprint calculations

    For Super Plastic, we calculated the historical, company-wide GHG footprint based on WRI scopes 1, 2 and 3 for CY 2021, 2022 and 2023. We also made recommendations for the Burlington, VT, USA based company to reduce future GHG emissions.

    AUDITING

    Technical due diligence

    For TENBS, we conducted thorough technical due diligence (including FVS model replication) of two ACR IFM projects in the USA prior to potential offset purchase.

    Technical reviews

    For VCS, we reviewed the validation/ verification report of an urban reforestation project in India and a validation report of a rural reforestation project in Brazil.

    Technical reviews

    For Carbon Check, we reviewed the validation/verification reports of: a native species reforestation project in Colombia; a mangrove (blue carbon) reforestation project in India; an urban reforestation project in India; a mangrove reforestation project in Saudi Arabia; and a bamboo reforestation project in South Africa (Gold Standard).

    Technical reviews

    For Plan Vivo, we reviewed uncertainty calculations to account for differences between two monitoring periods.

    Risk assessments

    For DNV, we conducted red flag risk assessments for proposed investments in a Brazil and Colombia upland avoided deforestation project and also a Suriname mangrove reforestation (blue carbon) project.
