What does Sorus do?

Investment-grade technical analysis across the full lifecycle

Sorus provides investment-grade technical analysis for ARR and forest carbon projects across the full lifecycle.

Sorus supports projects across the full lifecycle, including:

  • Forest carbon due diligence and pre-investment risk assessment.
  • ARR and agroforestry feasibility analysis.
  • MRV system design aligned with Verra and other major standards.
  • Carbon modeling and baseline development.
  • Permanence, leakage, and additionality assessment.
  • Advanced GIS and remote sensing, including LiDAR, multispectral data, and Google Earth Engine workflows.

Our approach emphasizes early risk identification, statistically sound monitoring design, and transparent assumptions - so projects move forward with fewer surprises and greater credibility.
