According to a recent LinkedIn post from Chloris Geospatial, the company recently hosted a VM0047 Performance Benchmarking webinar alongside Verra, the American Forest Foundation, and MSCI Carbon Markets. The discussion reportedly centered on how project developers should select an appropriate Stocking Index for forest carbon projects.

The post highlights three main Stocking Index options: vegetation indices, canopy height, and aboveground biomass, noting that each choice has implications for long-term project performance and auditability. It suggests that stability and carbon correlation are critical criteria, with the optimal choice depending on project stage, forest type, and the level of scrutiny project sponsors are prepared to defend to verifiers.
For investors, this focus on methodological rigor in Stocking Index selection points to growing sophistication in the voluntary carbon markets and rising expectations from auditors and standard-setters. Chloris Geospatial’s role in hosting such technical discussions may reinforce its positioning as a specialist in remote-sensing and carbon measurement analytics, potentially enhancing its relevance to high-quality reforestation and ARR project developers.
The emphasis on baseline stability and data confidence also signals that future project valuations may increasingly hinge on robust quantification approaches rather than purely on headline credit volumes. If Chloris Geospatial’s tools or methodologies help reduce data risk and improve verification outcomes, this could support customer adoption and recurring revenue opportunities as the market matures.
