Carbon Project Consulting | PDD, MRV, Validation, Issuance

Carbon Project Consulting

We help developers, NGOs, and corporates get from idea to issuance with clean files and fewer surprises. We do not issue credits. We prepare projects so registries and auditors can say yes faster.

Need a PDD, MRV plan, or issuance support?

Start with a two week assessment and a go or no-go decision.

Process

1. Intake

We review land, rights, early inventories, community engagement, and commercial intent.

2. Design

We select a method, set baselines, draft the PDD, prepare safeguards and data plans.

3. Validate

We submit to the registry and manage the VVB. Target is first-pass validation with minimal findings.

4. Monitor and Issue

We run monitoring, lead verification, and file the issuance request. We prepare buyer documentation.

Where We Draw The Line

We are not the project developer or the auditor. We do not guarantee issuance or volumes. We do not proceed without tenure proof, FPIC, and credible additionality. We reject fake offtakes and unrealistic yield claims.

FAQ

Are you the project developer?

No. We are consultants. We prepare the file and manage the path to issuance. The project proponent holds rights and receives credits.

Which standards do you support?

Verra VCS and Gold Standard as core. We advise on Article 6 and corresponding adjustments when relevant.

Do you guarantee credit issuance?

No. Issuance depends on verified outcomes and registry rules. Our job is to reduce findings and delays.

How long until validation and issuance?

Validation in 2 to 4 months for straightforward methods after data is ready. Issuance follows the first monitoring period and verification.

Do you help with offtakes?

Yes. We prepare DD packs and support ERPA terms. We do not promise price or liquidity.

Can you rescue a stalled project?

Often. We run a gap analysis, rewrite weak sections, and reopen with the registry or a new VVB if needed.

Ready to move from concept to issuance?

Start with the two week assessment. Clear decisions. Clean files. Faster yes.
