About / Methodology
Measurement you can defend
Our forest carbon monitoring follows a transparent, standards-aligned methodology — so every credit rests on data that stands up to independent scrutiny.
The MRV workflow
Six stages from field to verified credit
A repeatable, auditable process built on IPCC guidance and recognised REDD+ methodologies.
Stratification
The forest landscape is divided into homogeneous strata by forest type, density and terrain using satellite imagery and existing inventories — improving accuracy and efficiency.
Sampling design
A statistically robust network of permanent sample plots is allocated across strata to represent the full range of forest conditions.
Field measurement
Trained crews record tree diameter and height, deadwood, litter, understory and soil parameters, following standardised field protocols and quality checks.
Biomass & carbon estimation
Validated allometric equations convert measurements into biomass and carbon across all five IPCC pools, with uncertainty quantified.
Remote-sensing integration
Field data is scaled across the province with satellite analysis, and change is tracked against the reference level to estimate emission reductions.
Verification & reporting
Results undergo internal QA/QC and independent third-party verification before credits are reported and issued.
Carbon pools measured
All five IPCC carbon pools
- Above-ground biomass — stems, branches and foliage.
- Below-ground biomass — root systems.
- Deadwood — standing and fallen.
- Litter — fine surface organic matter.
- Soil organic carbon — the largest and most stable pool.
How our approach compares
Why standards-aligned MRV matters
Credible measurement is the difference between a credit that sells and one that does not.
