Sylvera details carbon credit quantification and over-crediting risk framework

Sylvera has published an explanation of carbon credit quantification, defining it as the process of calculating avoided or removed CO2e to determine credit issuance. The firm highlights that quantification, particularly baseline setting, is central to credit quality and a primary source of over-crediting. Sylvera states it uses an over-crediting risk framework, employing independent biome-specific deforestation modelling and machine learning with lidar and remote sensing, to assess project baselines and carbon accounting. This approach aims to identify and mitigate overestimation risks in credit generation, especially in forestry projects.
