SIG’s Forest Carbon offsets Group

Quality forest management that pays. Literally.

Earn revenue from carbon offsets by committing to sustainable forest management practices and forest restoration. We connect you with the carbon offset market, promoting healthy, resilient forests that maximize carbon storage.

SIG makes cutting-edge science accessible and actionable for forest owners. With a focus on Afforestation/Restoration (ARR) and Improved Forest Management (IFM) we seek to maintain or increase both forest cover and carbon stocks.

From initial assessment all the way through project development and credit sales, SIG does the heavy lifting for you. Our goal is to foster sustainability on our clients’ holdings with complete financial transparency.

Areas of Work

Getting Carbon on the Ground, and Keeping it There

Afforestation and Reforestation (AAR) refers to initiatives that establish forests where none were before (afforestation) or where they once grew but no longer do (reforestation). By substantially increasing the carbon stock on the land in question, AAR provides offsets that can be monetized by landowners. SIG’s role is to consult on appropriate forestry practices and to ensure the landowner maximizes offset revenues.
In particular, through our partnership with American Forests, SIG focuses on providing these services to underserved communities.

IFM

Improved Forest Management (IFM) is forestry that seeks to improve the environmental, economic, and social benefits of forests. Rather than optimizing for timber yields alone, IFM uses appropriate harvesting techniques and other treatments to increase biodiversity and resilience and ensure the forestland in question is able to provide these benefits for future generations.

SIG Carbon helps landowners access revenues from carbon offsets and carbon credits through IFM practices. Our general approach is to promote activities to maintain or increase carbon stocks in existing mature forests.

MRV

MRV is a process to quantify and certify ongoing reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from forest management for existing forest carbon projects. SIG’s scientists are at the forefront of MRV deployment around the world, helping clients in Nepal, California, Brazil, and elsewhere model and understand the greenhouse gas implications of forest management decisions.
In particular, SIG’s MRV work helps countries participate in the United Nations’ REDD+ framework, which sets nation-scale benchmarks and strategies for addressing climate change through forest management.
Greenline Climate

Spatial Informatics Group has partnered to create Greenline Climate. This joint venture is designed to radically increase the pace and scale of forest carbon project implementation, helping landowners sequester carbon in their forestlands while allowing them to diversify their revenue streams and maximize sustainable profits.

As part of Greenline Climate, SIG’s team of carbon market veterans leverages their scientific training, along with innovative carbon modeling technology, to help landowners layer carbon revenue into their land management strategy.

For large landowners looking for turnkey, end-to-end carbon services, Greenline Climate can develop projects all the way through from initial project feasibility, to carbon quantification, verification, and credit sales.
