and nature-based carbon assets

Advisory Services

I provide independent technical advisory and oversight for nature-based carbon projects in Australian ACCU and international VCS methodologies treating them as long-term natural capital investments. My work focuses on rigorous project design, methodology and regulatory compliance, implementation planning, and verification.

By strengthening technical foundations early and providing technical guidance at each project stage, I help reduce environmental, regulatory, operational, and financial risk, improve credit delivery certainty, and ensure carbon projects deliver genuine, verifiable abatement that stands up to scrutiny from regulators, investors, and credit buyers.
