WHY A FEASIBILITY STUDY IS ESSENTIAL

CRITICAL ANALYSIS FOR ROBUST CLIMATE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Feasibility studies are vital for the strategic planning and execution of any climate project. At FORLIANCE, our climate project feasibility studies provide a comprehensive evaluation of the technical, environmental, and socio-economic aspects of proposed carbon projects. By assessing the potential for emissions reductions and ensuring compliance with recognised international standards like VERRA (VCS and CCB) and Gold Standard, our studies are meticulously designed to support informed decision-making. This rigorous analysis includes, the check of spatial integrity of data, risk analyses to identify and address potential challenges early, optimizing project outcomes and enhancing sustainability. Additionally, our feasibility studies outline investment strategies, securing investor confidence and ensuring that projects are not only viable but also adaptable to evolving environmental and regulatory landscapes. Therefore, investing in a feasibility study is a crucial step towards the successful and sustainable development of your climate project.

RESULTS AND BENEFITS OF OUR FEASIBILITY STUDIES

Our feasibility studies not only assess the viability of your project but ensure that all potential Emission Removals or Reductions (ERR) are robust, credible, and trackable. A positive outcome from our feasibility study means your project aligns with conservativeness, legal, social, environmental, and permanence criteria, positioning it for success. We adhere to high-quality standards to obtain reliable carbon credits, ensuring every project we evaluate meets market best practices, including the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles [CCPs]. This rigorous approach helps advance climate action and sustainable development efficiently.

WHAT FORLIANCE OFFERS IN FEASIBILITY STUDIES

At FORLIANCE, our climate project feasibility studies are meticulously designed to ascertain both the technical and financial viability of your carbon projects, providing a robust basis for informed decision-making from the outset. Here’s how our comprehensive feasibility assessments support your project:

Project overview and risk analyses

We begin by defining the scope, scalability, and specific objectives of your project, addressing various types of emissions and activities such as Afforestation, Reforestation, IFM, and REDD+. Our risk analyses identify potential environmental, technical, and financial risks, preparing you to address these proactively.

Legal compliance and investment strategies

Our studies ensure thorough compliance with all pertinent local, national, and international legal and permitting requirements, including NDCs and other climate-related regulations, to prevent issues of double counting and ensure adherence to comprehensive investment strategies.

Market feasibility and climate project investment consultation

We explore the carbon market and regulatory frameworks to gauge the potential for generating and selling carbon credits. This includes a thorough climate project investment consultation to help you understand compliance requirements and structure potential revenue streams effectively.

Technical analysis

This includes a detailed examination of land tenure and the appropriateness of project activities compared to a baseline scenario. We conduct data checks to ensure the usability of existing project data and subsequently perform an eligibility analysis using satellite imagery and spatial data to ensure areas are suitable for project activities according to selected standards.

Stakeholder and community impact

Our feasibility studies include community profiling (stakeholder identification, economic activities, well-being, etc.), preliminary stakeholder engagement and preliminary evaluation of potential social and environmental impacts, focusing on community involvement and biodiversity impacts, ensuring that social and environmental considerations are thoroughly addressed.

Carbon methodology and additionality

We perform deep additionality analyses and calculate potential GHG emission reductions using recognized standards like the Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard, and Climate Action Reserve. This ensures that your project’s emission reductions are genuine and substantial.

Financial and operational feasibility

Detailed financial analysis includes investment and operational costs, revenue projections, and key financial indicators like internal rate of return and payback period. We also assess the organizational design and operational setup of the project, analyzing roles and responsibilities to ensure all functions are aligned with established milestones.

Each feasibility study concludes with strategic recommendations, offering you clear guidance on whether the project should proceed to development, require modifications, or reconsider its viability based on established parameters.

PREPARING FOR YOUR FEASIBILITY STUDY

Starting a feasibility study for your climate project with FORLIANCE? Great decision! To ensure we can provide the most effective support, we need to define a few key aspects before we begin. Here’s what we’ll focus on before we dive in:

Define the project scope

We kick things off by mapping out where your project will take place and determining its scale. This allows us to gain a clear understanding of the scope, ensuring we have a solid foundation to proceed effectively.

Set clear objectives

What are your objectives? Together we define your goals and planned activities clearly, so we understand your direction from the outset and can align our support accordingly.
 

Legal and land ownership

Ensure all legal aspects, particularly land ownership and tenure agreements, are in order. This step is crucial to avoid any complications and keep the project running smoothly.

Stakeholder analysis

Identify and engage key stakeholders early on. Mapping out who needs to be involved and understanding their interests helps prevent surprises and ensures smooth, collaborative interactions throughout the project.

Establish additionality

It's essential to demonstrate that your project is making a real impact. Clear additionality statements will show that the positive changes your project brings wouldn’t occur without your initiative, highlighting its true value.

By handling these steps beforehand, you set the stage for success. This preparation allows us to hit the ground running and focus on making your climate project as impactful as possible. Ready to get started? Explore our project planning and project design services to see how we can assist you.
