by encouraging investment now in projects that mitigate future greenhouse gas emissions
Approved methodologies reflect
rigorous, conservative, and consistent rules for quantification, eligibility, documentation, and confirmation of ex ante GHG reduction and carbon removal projects.
increasing the viability of GHG reduction projects that have high initial costs and slower climate returns, such as reforestation projects
How Climate Forward credits can be used
The projects include the recordation of a perpetual Conservation Easement that includes forest management provisions that will guide the development of mature conifer dominated timberlands over time.
The Pine Creek project comprises approximately 160 acre in Humboldt County, California, and the Clear Heart Forest project comprises approximately 660 acres located in Humboldt County and northern Mendocino County.
The Green Diamond Resource Company Moore Tract REF Project 1 is a reforestation project located in Del Norte County, California. Much of the 5,000 acre tract was burned at high intensity by the Slater Fire in September 2020. Without the reforestation project activities, the site is likely to convert to brush fields with occasional knobcone pine, which is a vegetation structure that may increase susceptibility to returning fire in the near term.
The issued errata and clarifications correct an equation error, clarify the basis for the project start date, and provide corrections and clarifications to sampling requirements.
Wildfires across the western U.S. have increased in scale, intensity, and frequency, resulting in megafires that have become major emissions sources. Known management options, such as mechanical fuel treatments and prescribed fires, can moderate the spread and severity of such fires and the GHG emissions associated with them.
