Nature-Based Solutions for Carbon and Nutrient Credits (NBS)

Nature-Based Solutions for Carbon and Nutrient Credits

About NBS

Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) provide a holistic approach to addressing climate change, water management, and nutrient recovery by leveraging ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural landscapes. These solutions not only enhance biodiversity and climate resilience but also generate valuable carbon and nutrient credits, bridging the gap between environmental sustainability and economic viability.

At Credynova, we specialize in developing and managing NBS projects that align with global frameworks and standards. Our end-to-end services ensure compliance, transparency, and market access while maximizing environmental and economic benefits.

Comprehensive Services for Nature-Based Solutions

Integrated Ecosystem Management: Design and execute projects focused on carbon sequestration, water resource management, and nutrient recovery across diverse ecosystems.
Tailored Approaches: Develop solutions specific to forests, wetlands, agricultural systems, and grasslands to optimize carbon and nutrient outcomes.
Global Standards Compliance: Align with frameworks like the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, ISO 14064, and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Custom Methodologies: Craft project-specific methodologies approved by leading carbon and nutrient credit registries such as VERRA, Gold Standard, and Climate Action Reserve (CAR).
Framework Alignment: Ensure methodologies meet the requirements of IPCC Guidelines, ISO 14064-2, and sector-specific standards such as PCAF (Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials) and PACT (Partnership for Carbon Transparency).
Validation and Certification: Collaborate with accredited registries and validators to certify methodologies for market access.

Carbon Credit Trading: Facilitate the generation and trading of high-quality carbon credits in markets such as VERRA, Gold Standard, EU ETS, and ICR (Indian Carbon Registry).
Nutrient Credit Markets: Unlock value from nutrient recovery projects by reducing nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrient runoff, enabling additional credit generation.
Financial Gap Bridging: Utilize credit trading to secure funding for project implementation and scalability.

Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV): Develop and implement robust MRV frameworks adhering to ISO 14064-3 and IPCC Guidelines to ensure accuracy and transparency.
Global Reporting Standards: Align project outcomes with sustainability frameworks like:
SBTi (Science-Based Targets Initiative): Target setting for emissions reductions.
TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures): Reporting climate risks and opportunities.
CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive): EU-specific sustainability compliance.
NDC Integration: Ensure projects contribute directly to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.

Alignment with Standards and Carbon Markets

VERRA (Verified Carbon Standard): Certification for NBS projects focusing on carbon sequestration and nutrient management.
Gold Standard: Prioritizes projects with co-benefits for communities and biodiversity.
Climate Action Reserve (CAR): Supports projects addressing both carbon and nutrient pollution.
EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading System): Compliance market access for large-scale NBS initiatives.

GHG Protocol: Guidelines for quantifying and managing emissions reductions.
ISO Standards:
