PDD Creation for Carbon Projects – Fixed-Fee Tiers & Fast Turnaround

PDD Creation for Carbon Projects – Fixed-Fee Tiers & Fast Turnaround

Project Design Document (PDD) Creation for Carbon Projects

We build PDDs that survive validation. That means defensible baselines, conservative assumptions, clean safeguards, and an MRV plan your team can actually run. Formats are aligned to Verra VCS, Gold Standard, or ART TREES, matched to your project type: REDD+, ARR, IFM, and Soil.

Outcome: an audit-ready PDD with baselines, leakage treatment, safeguards, and MRV—plus a data room indexed for validators and buyers.

Who This Is For

Developers & sponsors
Needing a full PDD to start validation and engage offtakers.
Landholders & concessions
With tenure clarity and community agreements in progress.
Funds & family offices
Seeking bankable documentation before committing capital.
NGOs & community trusts
Driving high-integrity projects with clear benefit sharing.

Core Deliverables

  • Methodology selection and standards mapping (VCS / GS / ART TREES)
  • Baseline construction: activity data, remote sensing series, stratification
  • Leakage assessment and belt design with controls
  • Conservative emission reductions/removals model with sensitivity bands
  • Safeguards, FPIC evidence trail, benefit sharing structure
  • MRV plan: sampling design, QA/QC, roles, SOP checklists
  • PDD drafting, formatting, and registry submission package
  • Validator Q&A support (scope varies by tier)

Three Fixed-Fee Tiers

Tier 1 — Core PDD

USD 45,000
  • Method fit and project boundary
  • Baseline write-up (existing data supplied by client)
  • Leakage logic, safeguards section, draft MRV
  • PDD document and submission pack
  • Validator Q&A: up to 10 hours

Tier 2 — PDD + MRV Kit

USD 85,000
  • Everything in Tier 1
  • Remote sensing time-series build (up to 2 AOIs)
  • Sampling design, SOPs, and data templates
  • Conservative issuance model with sensitivity bands
  • Validator Q&A: up to 25 hours

Tier 3 — Full PDD + Validation Support

USD 135,000
  • Everything in Tier 2
  • Stakeholder pack: FPIC evidence and benefit-sharing outline
  • Leakage belt patrol model and risk response plan
  • Validator Q&A until CARs are closed (cap: 60 hours)
  • Buyer deck: issuance curve, risks, pricing bands

Registry fees, validator fees, fieldwork, and third-party surveys are excluded. If your site needs additional AOIs, complex tenure clean-up, or multi-country scope, we’ll price an add-on.

Timeline Snapshot

Phase Outputs Typical timing
Kickoff & data room Checklist, structure, evidence index 1–2 weeks
Baseline & safeguards Baseline draft, leakage logic, FPIC trail 3–6 weeks
MRV & modeling SOPs, sampling, issuance curve 3–6 weeks
PDD pack & submission Final PDD, annexes, registry submission 1–2 weeks

Timelines depend on data quality, tenure clarity, and validator scheduling. Messy land files slow everything down.

Process to a Validator-Ready PDD

1) Intake
Maps, tenure, historic activity, stakeholder list, initial metrics.
2) Build
Baseline, leakage, safeguards, MRV. Conservative by design.
3) Review
Internal QA, legal pass, registry formatting, version control.
4) Submit
Registry submission, validator handover, Q&A per tier.

What We Need to Start

Item Purpose
Land tenure & carbon rights file Confirms legal footing and boundaries
Historic land-use data (remote sensing, patrol logs) Builds baseline and leakage view
Stakeholder & FPIC records Safeguards and benefit sharing evidence
Management plan & team MRV capacity and responsibilities

Pick a tier and share your site files. We’ll issue a work plan and delivery schedule.

Start the Process

Fixed fees cover drafting and modeling stated in each tier. Field campaigns, validator costs, registry fees, permits, and external surveys are separate. Work proceeds subject to KYC/AML and a signed engagement. No promises on credit volumes or prices—those depend on data, safeguards, and audit results.
