PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Project design
For EcoBase, we are currently revising and rewriting its Pan-European PD. 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 are currently developing a ground-based MRV program. We set parameters for more accurate offset modeling calculations for extended rotation age (ERA) intervention under a dynamic baseline methodology.

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 Carbon Direct, we reviewed a VCS validated and verified Kenya TIST project using a CDM A/R methodology.

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.
