The future of Avoidance Credits

Bringing scientific rigour to the next generation of credits.

Reimagine Avoidance

Questioning everything

Revalue takes the latest certification standards as the start line, not the finish line.

Better baselines, dynamically checked.

Poor baselines are the #1 problem with traditional avoidance projects.
Icon
We meet the latest Certification Standards (Core Carbon Principles aligned).
Icon
Model R goes further. We build Dynamic Baseline Checks using Synthetic Controls.
Icon
Dynamic Baselines Checks capture real world impact, giving confidence in every credit.

LiDAR for more accurate biomass estimations.

Traditional methods for estimating biomass lack accuracy validation and can lead to a greater than 1.5x difference in biomass estimates versus reality.
Icon
Under-canopy LiDAR for improved accuracy and precision in plots.
Icon
Drone-based LiDAR for greater range.

Deflated baselines. 1.2 tons per credit.

Historically, too many historic credits equated to less than 1 ton of real world emissions.
Icon
Model R gives you confidence that each credit is at least 1.0 ton of real world impact.
Icon
We deflate the baseline even after using conservative assumptions, LiDAR-backed biomass estimations, and Dynamic Baseline Checks.
Icon
Credits you (and the planet) can trust.

eDNA+ for advanced biodiversity monitoring.

Historical biodiversity monitoring has been constrained by resource and technological limitations.
Icon
eDNA for more effective identification of species present.
Icon
Bioacoustics + camera traps for even richer data on where species are present.
Icon
Our connectivity metric measures the change in habitat connectivity over time.

Next-level community impact measurements.

In the past it has been hard to get a real understanding of the impact on and role of local communities in the project.
Icon
Scientifically rigorous community surveys to understand the real impact for communities.
Icon
Effective sampling strategies, unbiased questions and advanced analytics to draw statistical significance.
Icon
Survey after FPIC to get a day-zero check on FPIC effectiveness and address flags upfront.

Model R Includes

We have not stopped at a few improvements.

Our models come with all guardrails built-in.

Ratings agency assurance

Pre issuance ratings to get third-party validation on project fundamentals.

Resilience reserve

Capital reserve which can be drawn down in case of delays or issues.

Risk insurance

Insurance covering key risks, such as political and delivery risks.

Always additional

Additionality checks ahead of every issuance.

Article 6 authorisation

Approval for Corresponding Adjustments (CAs) where jurisdictionally appropriate.

Computer vision monitoring

Deep learning to identify new roads and other important events in the landscape.
Talk to Us

Always improving (not perfect).

Revalue's Model R credit approach is a leap into the future for avoidance credits.

However, we will never claim to be perfect. There will always be ways to improve our credits.
