Carbon offsetting & measurement

28 February 2024

Do you have a plan to offset your companies environmental footprint? Are you concerned about the increasing media around the credibility of carbon offsets? Or maybe you are a landowner and are looking to understand how to measure your carbon or biodiversity project.

The carbon offsets market is growing rapidly, with demand for nature based offsets surging – due to the creation of both carbon removal and biodiversity benefits.

Having accurate processes for measuring carbon sequestration (from tree planting), carbon mitigation (from peatland restoration) and biodiversity gains (habitat change) is critical, particularly in light of the research published by The Guardian in 2023 (
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/18/revealed-forest-carbon-offsets-biggest-provider-worthless-verra-aoe) which revealed that more than 90% of rainforest carbon offsets from the biggest largest global certifier of carbon offsets are largely worthless, and didn’t represent genuine carbon reductions.

However
CSX - Climate Solutions Exchange Ltd is leading the way with innovative data analytics systems enabling long term monitoring and evaluation of carbon and biodiversity projects, and linking landowners creating biodiversity units and carbon credits directly with corporate buyers.

CSX’s carbon projects include mixed conifer and broadleaf woodland planting and peatland restoration in areas such as North Yorkshire, Durham, and the Scottish Borders, and BNG projects creating BNG units for developers. 🌲🍃🌳

Their point of difference is its ability to provide accurate measurements of
natural capital through a combination of drone data collection, ground truthing and detailed carbon analysis and modelling. This also creates a verifiable audit trail which helps businesses and landowners make informed decisions about land management and afforestation, two key strategies for sequestering carbon.
