Woodland Carbon & Peatland Codes

Carbon Codes: For Farmers

What Carbon Codes changes for the person actually doing the work.

For the person running the business, the test of any farm software is whether it removes work or adds it. The UK carbon codes are credible, standardised and widely misunderstood, principally because the pipeline of pending units dwarfs the number actually verified. This module manages project registration, validation, monitoring and verification, shows the true unit position, and provides the price benchmarking and buyer matching that make a sale possible on informed terms.

In their words

What the job actually looks like

These are not marketing personas. Each one is a distinct job with a distinct constraint, and the module is designed so that solving one does not create work for the others.

01

Landowner

Registering a woodland project

Needs realistic cashflow, not a headline unit count.

  1. Assess eligibility and additionality
  2. Model sequestration over the project life
  3. Register the project on the code
  4. Complete validation
02

Project developer

Aggregating sites

Needs portfolio-level pending and verified positions.

  1. Model sequestration over the project life
  2. Register the project on the code
  3. Complete validation
  4. Deliver and monitor the project
03

Corporate buyer

Offtake agreement

Needs clarity on what is actually verified versus forecast.

  1. Register the project on the code
  2. Complete validation
  3. Deliver and monitor the project
  4. Verify at scheduled intervals

End to end

How Carbon Codes runs, start to finish

The module is modelled as a state machine, so at any point the business knows exactly which stage every record is at and what has to happen next.

  1. 1

    Assess eligibility and additionality

    This is where the record starts, and getting it right here removes work at every later stage.

  2. 2

    Model sequestration over the project life

    The platform prompts only for what this stage genuinely needs, and carries everything forward.

  3. 3

    Register the project on the code

    Conflicts with scheme rules, regulatory windows and existing commitments are flagged here rather than discovered later.

  4. 4

    Complete validation

    Capture works offline, so this stage is completed in the field rather than remembered afterwards.

  5. 5

    Deliver and monitor the project

    Everything recorded at this point becomes evidence automatically, in every format that will later ask for it.

  6. 6

    Verify at scheduled intervals

    This is the stage most businesses currently do twice, once for the operation and once for the paperwork.

  7. 7

    Record issuance on the registry

    Results feed the whole-farm view, so the effect of this stage is visible against the rest of the business.

  8. 8

    Sell or retire units with full disclosure

    The cycle closes here, and what is learned is carried into next season's plan rather than lost.

Capabilities

What Carbon Codes does

Every capability below is built on the same underlying record, so entering something once is enough for it to appear wherever it is needed.

Record and plan

  • Project eligibility assessment against code requirements including additionality
  • Project registration and documentation assembly
  • Validation process management with validator coordination

Operate and monitor

  • Carbon sequestration modelling by species, yield class and management
  • Pending Issuance Unit and verified unit position tracking, clearly distinguished
  • Monitoring schedule with field survey and evidence capture

Comply and evidence

  • Verification event management and unit issuance recording
  • UK Land Carbon Registry position reconciliation
  • Price benchmarking against disclosed transaction data with caveats stated

Analyse and improve

  • Buyer matching and sale process management
  • Permanence, reversal and buffer pool obligation tracking
  • Stacking assessment against public scheme payments and biodiversity units

Payment schedule

What is due, and when it lands

Farm support arrives in instalments from several bodies on different calendars. Set against your own overdraft, the question is not how much but when — so the ledger is ordered by date, not by scheme.

Sample
Scheduled and expected scheme payments, in date order
When Payment From Amount Status
March Woodland Carbon Code Scottish Forestry on behalf of all four governments — Expected
March Peatland Code IUCN UK Peatland Programme — Agreed
September England Woodland Creation Offer Forestry Commission — Eligible
May Nature for Climate Peatland Restoration Defra / Natural England — Eligible
June Sustainable Farming Incentive 2026 Defra / Rural Payments Agency — Eligible
March Countryside Stewardship Defra / Natural England / Rural Payments Agency — Eligible
  • — Agreed and scheduled
  • — Claimed, awaiting payment
  • — Eligible, unclaimed

What the statuses mean

Agreed
Under a signed agreement with a scheduled payment date.
Expected
Claimed and assessed; payment date per the published standard.
Eligible
Your holding appears to qualify but nothing is claimed yet.

Amounts are blank because they depend on your own holding, your agreements and current payment rates. Rates change during a scheme year, so the ledger always shows the rate it used and the date it read it.

Worked example

The problem: Needs realistic cashflow, not a headline unit count.

What they do

  1. Assess eligibility and additionality
  2. Model sequestration over the project life
  3. Register the project on the code
  4. Complete validation

What changes

  • Hectares registered
  • Units validated
  • Units verified and issued

These are composite statements drawn from user research conversations, not attributed customer quotes. We publish named references only with written consent.

I am not short of software. I am short of one place where the same field means the same thing in all of it.

Arable farm managerEast of England

The scheme closed on a Tuesday evening. I had the application half built. Nobody told me the budget was nearly gone.

Mixed farmerMidlands

We farm on both sides of the border. Everything takes twice as long and I still cannot see the whole position on one screen.

Livestock producerWelsh border

Audit week costs me three days. Every single record they ask for is already written down somewhere on this farm.

Measurement

How you will know it is working

The module reports against these measures from the day it is switched on, so the value is demonstrable rather than assumed.

  • 02Units validated
  • 03Units verified and issued
  • 04Price achieved per unit
  • 05Verification cost per unit
