Forest Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Neftaly’s Solutions for Measuring, Monitoring, and Managing Carbon in Forest Landscapes

Introduction
Forests play a vital role in the global carbon cycle, acting as carbon sinks that absorb and store CO₂, while also emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) when degraded or destroyed. Accurately accounting for forest carbon stocks and emissions is essential for climate change mitigation, sustainable land management, and compliance with international frameworks like the Paris Agreement and REDD+.
Neftaly provides innovative tools and technical expertise for tracking forest carbon and GHG emissions using remote sensing, GIS, and science-based methodologies. We support governments, NGOs, and carbon project developers in making informed decisions that protect forests and climate.

Why Forest Carbon Monitoring Matters
???? Forests store about 80% of the Earth’s terrestrial carbon
???? Deforestation and degradation account for ~10% of global GHG emissions
???? Carbon loss affects biodiversity, water systems, and community livelihoods
???? Monitoring supports climate reporting, offsetting, and policy decisions
✅ Accurate carbon data is essential for REDD+, carbon markets, and NDCs

What Neftaly Offers in Forest Carbon and GHG Monitoring
✅ 1. Forest Carbon Stock Assessment
Estimate aboveground and belowground biomass using satellite and LiDAR data
Integrate remote sensing with field plot data for high-accuracy mapping
Generate carbon stock maps by forest type, age, and condition
✅ 2. Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation
Detect land-use change using high-resolution time-series imagery (e.g. Sentinel, Landsat, PlanetScope)
Apply IPCC-compliant Tier 2 and Tier 3 approaches for GHG accounting
Quantify emissions by activity (clearing, burning, degradation)
✅ 3. Monitoring Reforestation and Carbon Sequestration
Track regrowth, canopy expansion, and biomass increase in restored areas
Measure CO₂ removal over time using spectral vegetation indices (e.g., NDVI, EVI)
Provide evidence for carbon offset programs and restoration impact
✅ 4. GHG Reporting Tools and MRV Systems
Develop robust Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems for REDD+
Automate data collection, processing, and visualization
Produce reports aligned with UNFCCC, Gold Standard, Verra, or national registries

Case Study: Supporting REDD+ Implementation in East Africa
Neftaly helped a government forestry agency:
Map 120,000 hectares of forest carbon stocks using remote sensing and sample plots
Estimate emissions reductions of over 500,000 tCO₂e over 3 years
Develop a dashboard for ongoing monitoring and donor reporting
Train local technicians in GIS and carbon estimation techniques
