CarbonStore provides the vital link to unite landowners looking to sell their Woodland Carbon Units with companies keen to offset their carbon emissions. 🌱
The #Woodland#Carbon#Code are piloting #remote#sensing tech to use drones for monitoring surveys, reducing Year 5 Verification Audit costs.
We're fully equipped to make the most of this development!

🌳 CarbonStore Project Update 🌳
We're excited to share our latest project at Corrachaive Farm, Argyll! In collaboration with Tilhill Forestry, we've transformed 17.17 hectares of former grazing land into a thriving woodland. 🌲🌿

"My advice to other farmers thinking about planting trees is don’t wait too long!
The best time to plant trees was 20 years ago – the second-best time is now!"
Read from this farmer on his journey to selling carbon credits generated from this project:

46,000 trees were planted across 3 compartments on this farm in #Buckinghamshire.
Working closely with the farmer, we completed all the documents for validation of the project by the Woodland Carbon Code. our team designed the woodland creation plan, applied for the EWCO grant
Initially, a planting project is a carbon source, due to the ground disturbance, the use of tree guards, the fencing etc.
Thereafter, as the trees grow, it becomes a carbon sink before, before maturing into a carbon store.
There is a lot of confusion surrounding terms such as ‘carbon sink’, ‘carbon store’ and ‘carbon source’.

Subsidising natural capital projects, such as woodland creation or peatland restoration, is expensive. Efforts to develop and promote natural capital markets could intensify so that the private sector can play a greater role in the financial support for projects.
For those working hard to restore Scotland’s nature and wildlife, this is undoubtedly discouraging. However, the key point is the tight budgetary pressures facing the Scottish, English and Welsh governments.

The project development costs and the audit fees for peatland restoration and woodland creation projects seeking carbon funding often discourage smaller-scale projects from participating and increasing costs could add to the problem.

The CivTech challenge will be worth watching closely as the potential benefits for project owners, project developers and buyers of PIUs/WCUs/PCUs could be significant.
It’s great to see the #Peatland Code and the #Woodland#Carbon Code tapping the private sector’s creativity to overcome some of the challenges in the current structure of the carbon market.

The woodland compartments within this project are expected to capture 6,900 tonnes of CO₂e over the next 100 years according to the Woodland Carbon Code. This is the same amount as emitted from driving 17.25 million miles in a petrol car.
