Carbon Credit Assessment

Project Overview

Conducted a comprehensive carbon credit feasibility study for a landowner interested in forest restoration. The analysis combined multi-temporal satellite imagery analysis with carbon sequestration estimation and economic viability modeling.

The project provided a clear go/no-go recommendation backed by scientific methodology, quantifying potential carbon storage, land costs, and planting economics to determine project viability.

Project feasibility verification based on carbon storage capacity, land acquisition costs, and seedling planting economics.
