Screenings are available across eight project types: REDD (Reduction of Deforestation), ARR (Afforestation, reforestation and revegetation), IFM (improved forestry management), ICS (Improved Cookstoves), RES (Renewable energy source), Grasslands, Croplands, and Landfill Methane.

Quickly rule out projects with high risks to project quality

Screenings provide high-level assessments of key positives and risks across the quality pillars - carbon accounting, additionality, permanence and co-benefits. By providing early signals of quality, we empower clients with information to make decisions earlier in the portfolio selection process and instill confidence in the projects they choose to dedicate due diligence efforts to.

Identify strengths and potential risks of shortlisted projects for further diligence

Where Sylvera Ratings are assessments for due diligence, Screenings provide key signals of quality and risk earlier so you can disqualify the projects that won't advance your goals sooner, before conducting due diligence. As a result, investors can much more easily and quickly shortlist potential projects for investment before conducting further due diligence supported by Sylvera's Ratings.

Carbon Credit Ratings

Mitigate risk and increase the effectiveness of your long-term carbon credit strategy outcomes leveraging our ratings database

Improve your pre-issuance project success rate and reduce the likelihood of investing in unsuitable projects.

Superior data-driven insights

Our platform offers unmatched project visibility and market insights, empowering clients to make informed decisions and mitigate risks effectively. Our Ratings provide deep due diligence, increasing the effectiveness of carbon credit strategy outcomes.

The most transparent and in-depth carbon credit ratings available

When evaluating projects, we build meticulous models for carbon, strength of baseline, and financial additionality, using our independent and proprietary data. All frameworks are peer-reviewed by a committee of experts and carbon market stakeholders (including project developers and registries) to ensure scientific consensus. Then we publish our frameworks so buyers understand exactly what we test and how we do it.

Unrivaled machine learning capabilities ensure accuracy

Sylvera uses machine learning (ML) and multiple types of satellite data to identify specific features of forests and land cover. We train proprietary ML models in specific biomes and geographies to produce accurate carbon estimates for different project types.

Evaluate Co-Benefits

We produce a separate score based on our examination of our examination of the project activities impact on local biodiversity and communities.

"What is very special about Sylvera is that they really crack the science behind the rating instead of going too fast and too broad. I think their strong methodology will give users very, very good confidence that credit insights are based on proper facts and proper science. This is what differentiates Sylvera in the market."
