ForestEdge API Report

ForestEdge API Report — Carbon Calculation Methodology

The ForestEdge API Report documents the emissions factors, calculation methodologies, and data sources used to generate carbon accounting outputs within the Digital Refinery ecosystem. ForestEdge provides the standardized reference data that underpins CORC yield calculations, Scope 3 emissions reporting, and Carbon Dividend computations.

The report includes: emissions factor sources and version references, calculation methodology for each carbon metric, data quality assessments and uncertainty ranges, validation status against recognized carbon accounting standards, API response data for each query with timestamps, and reconciliation between ForestEdge-derived values and 905WOOD operational measurements.

Methodology transparency is essential for the credibility of carbon-related claims. As carbon credit markets mature and scrutiny intensifies, the ability to demonstrate that calculations are based on recognized, verified emissions factors — rather than internal estimates — differentiates premium CORCs from lower-quality carbon credits.

The ForestEdge API Report is generated alongside every CORC Certificate and Scope 3 Emissions Report, ensuring that the methodology documentation is always current and traceable to specific API responses. This audit trail supports third-party verification of carbon removal claims.
