Methodology & MRV

Zr3i works from recognised Verra VCS methodologies rather than in-house maths. Every calculation carries traceable provenance for independent review.

Baseline vs project scenario

What the land would have done anyway, compared with what it does under the project.

Removals and emission reductions

Carbon taken up by trees and soil, separated from emissions avoided by changed practices.

Leakage and uncertainty

Effects displaced outside the boundary, and a deduction that reflects how confident the measurement is.

Measurement provenance

Satellite observations, soil sampling and field records, each dated and attributable.
