Description
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is seeking a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study of carbon‑sequestration opportunities across its approximately 330,000 acre land portfolio and any lands it may acquire. The study will evaluate market viability, regulatory compatibility, cost‑revenue projections, risk factors, and co‑benefit potentials, and will deliver actionable recommendations and supporting documentation for potential follow‑on contracts.
• Perform GIS data normalization and initial screening of all SCDNR lands for carbon‑project suitability.
• Analyze market trends, carbon‑credit standards, and legal constraints (easements, wildlife plans, grant conditions).
• Produce detailed cost, revenue, and risk models, including example deep‑dive analyses for representative properties, and present findings in written reports and stakeholder workshops.
