One of the main underlying problems that amplifies this dilemma is that small landowners with less than 5,000 acres typically cannot overcome the inventorying and verification costs associated with carbon projects. To address this issue, EP Carbon developed an app and separate company, Forest Carbon Works (FCW). The app allows for the proper tree measurements for carbon projects to be taken on a smartphone. This has reduced the inventorying costs associated with the projects, making them more accessible for those with less land.
As a company FCW also gives special attention to small landowners and tailors its process and services to their forest carbon needs. FCW has been verified by the California Air Resources Board Email List and has enabled many landowners to pursue carbon projects. EP Carbon should feel good about using its innovative thinking to help bring small landowners to the carbon table. Finite Carbon has also made an effort to reach small landowners with its new small business and device, CORE Carbon.
This digital platform estimates the amount of carbon that is in a given forested area with a general geospatial outline of the property and remotely sensed data. Accordingly, with CORE Carbon boots on the ground inventorying is not required and forest carbon projects are much more affordable for small landowners. Unfortunately, even if both new technologies scale and inventorying becomes significantly cheaper, an average of about $10 per credit still will make harvesting more attractive for many both small and large landowners.
