Carbon Accounting and Protocols
Cortex offers a variety of services in support of the emerging market of carbon trading. In particular, we provide clients with a comprehensive accounting system for forest carbon covering the full range of carbon pools segmented into the various sink categories recognized by the chosen trading system protocol.
We also provide technical support to clients in the development and interpretation of trading system protocols. For many clients this can be an especially confusing part of this emerging market owing to the lack of consistency among trading systems with respect to both accounting protocols and allowable carbon sinks (e.g. sustainable forest management, avoided deforestation, forest products).
