Your Blueprint for GHG Protocol Compliance
The GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Standard demands rigor for calculating land-use emissions and carbon removals. Traditional methods with generic emission factors can't deliver the accuracy, scale, or verification needed.
In this co-authored white paper from SustainCERT and Chloris Geospatial, learn how combining remote sensing data with robust governance transforms complex biophysical data into actionable, auditable carbon metrics, giving executives confidence in both compliance and decision-making. Learn more
A Technical Framework for LSR Compliance
Learn the correct approaches and data requirements for compliance and how to apply them:
Stock & Change Remote Sensing
How observed, year-over-year biomass measurements replace static emission factors in LSR accounting.
LUC Emissions, Two Pathways
How Direct LUC and Statistical LUC approaches are applied based on supply-chain traceability.
Verified Land-Based Removals
How time-series monitoring substantiates sequestration, distinguishes real impact, and detects reversals.
Uncertainty & Assurance Ready
How calibration, validation, and quantified uncertainty support third-party verification.
Hybrid LSR Inventory Architecture
How remote sensing integrates with complementary datasets and governance to meet full LSR requirements.
