How Long Does a Carbon Project Feasibility Study Take?
Others

If you’re a landholder, NGO, or developer starting a carbon project in Asia, one of your first questions is likely:
“How long does a feasibility study (FS) take?”
The standard industry timeline for a carbon project FS is often around six months—a considerable wait when time-sensitive opportunities and funding windows are at stake.
At Fairatmos, we’ve refined our process to deliver comprehensive and reliable feasibility studies in under 3 months, cutting timelines in half while maintaining depth, accuracy, and integrity. (provided that key terms and conditions are met, refer to our article before this)
Why a Fast Feasibility Study Timeline Matters More Than Ever
In today’s rapidly evolving carbon credit landscape, time is not just money—it’s climate impact, funding access, and market positioning.
A delayed feasibility study means:
-
❌ Missed funding cycles from climate investors, donor agencies, and government-backed programs
-
❌ Slower entry into carbon markets, where credit prices, policies, and buyer interest shift quickly
-
❌ Increased project uncertainty, risking the trust of communities, partners, and stakeholders
-
❌ Opportunity loss—your land may qualify now, but land-use changes or policy shifts can affect eligibility later
On the flip side, a fast, high-quality feasibility study unlocks multiple strategic advantages:
-
✅ Early-mover status in emerging carbon markets
-
✅ Faster access to pre-financing or carbon credit offtake deals
-
✅ Momentum to build local partnerships and stakeholder alignment
-
✅ More room to adjust and iterate before full project validation
In short: Speed without compromising quality is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Fairatmos helps you act quickly with confidence, before windows of opportunity close.
How Fairatmos Delivers Feasibility Studies in less than 3 Months
Thanks to our extensive experience across Southeast Asia and a product-led approach, Fairatmos has built a repeatable and efficient FS system. We’ve developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that kick in the moment five key preconditions are met (as described in our previous article).
With these SOPs in place, we streamline every phase of the FS process—reducing the need for time-consuming travel, minimizing back-and-forth with stakeholders, and leveraging lessons learned from dozens of real-world projects.
Our FS process covers:
-
Project scoping and data collection
-
Remote sensing and land-use analysis
-
Legal and tenure due diligence
-
Stakeholder engagement and area screening
-
Carbon stock estimation and baseline scenario review
-
Financial viability modeling
-
Final reporting with a PDD draft-ready output
- Others. Ask us for more details!
Each step is led by internal experts with cross-border project experience in Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
