FAQs

How does Forest Carbon ensure that the projects deliver emissions reductions?

All our woodland and peatland projects are certified under the Woodland Carbon Code & Peatland Code. These are UK specific standards that ensure each carbon credit generated represents a removal or avoidance of one tonne of CO2.

Under the WCC & PC projects are validated by a third party certification body, following completion of planting (woodlands) or restoration work (peatland), and verified on an ongoing basis.

The WCC & PC also ensure that each project meets the core principles of carbon offsetting – additionality, conservatism, and permanence. This means that each carbon credit represents a permanent removal of CO2e which would not have happened without the carbon finance.
