Determining carbon offset quality with remote sensing:
A Technical Guide to Rating Forest Carbon Projects
Forest carbon offsets are notorious for their unreliable quality, and many do not actually offset carbon emissions at all. With so many companies relying on carbon offsets as part of their sustainability strategy, this quality control problem has disasterous impacts on climate change.

Evaluating Forest Carbon Projects:

Assessing the Quality and Accuracy of Carbon Offsets Through Advanced Methods.
We use tree cover estimates, boundary analysis, and global space-borne carbon stock assessments to provide a comprehensive evaluation of forest carbon projects. These methods help us identify discrepancies, assess carbon sequestration claims, and ensure the integrity of nature-based carbon offsets.
