Supported project types

Works for all major
nature-based projects

Feasibility.Earth supports all four main project categories. Eligibility criteria, CO₂ methodologies, and certification standards are built in.

Reforestation
Verra VCS · Gold Standard

Reforestation

Planting trees on previously deforested or degraded land. Feasibility.Earth checks whether your land qualifies for an Afforestation / Reforestation (A/R) or Improved Forest Management (IFM) methodology.

Suitable for:

Degraded land, former agricultural fields
Areas with low existing carbon stock
Regions with deforestation history (pre-1990 for VCS)

Typical CO₂

5–40 tCO₂/ha/yr

Project life

20–100 years

Std. methodology

VM0047 / AR-ACM0003

📌 Greenzone Reforestation Project, Congo Basin — 13,750 VCUs annually

Agroforestry

Integrating trees into agricultural and pastoral systems. These projects simultaneously sequester carbon and support farmer livelihoods — often eligible under community-based standards like Plan Vivo.

Suitable for:

Active smallholder farmland
Pastoral grazing land with tree integration potential
Community-based land management systems

Typical CO₂

3–15 tCO₂/ha/yr

Project life

10–30 years

Std. methodology

Plan Vivo · VM0017

📌 Bulindi Agroforestry & Chimpanzee Conservation, Uganda — 44,000 VERs annually

Agroforestry
Plan Vivo · Verra VCS
ARR Projects
Verra VCS · CDM

ARR Projects

Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation on severely degraded or barren land — including dryland restoration, grassland rehabilitation, and riparian revegetation.

Suitable for:

Barren or severely degraded land
Former desert or saline soil
Riparian and wetland areas

Typical CO₂

2–20 tCO₂/ha/yr

Project life

20–60 years

Std. methodology

VM0047 · CDM AR-ACM

📌 Aral Sea Afforestation, Kazakhstan — 31,250 VCUs from saxaul planting

Cookstoves

Distributing energy-efficient cookstoves to households that currently cook on open fires or inefficient traditional stoves. Reduces fuel consumption and associated deforestation.

Suitable for:

Rural households using firewood or charcoal
Areas with high deforestation driven by cooking fuel
Community programs with measurable distribution

Typical CO₂

1–3 tCO₂/household/yr

Project life

5–10 years

Std. methodology

GS TPDDTEC · AMS-II.G

📌 Sauki Clean Cookstoves, Nigeria — 60,000 VERs from 40,000 households

Cookstoves
Gold Standard · CDM
