The proposed tool processes available lightning data to reduce the search area in thunderstorm-related wildfires, resulting in greater chances of extinguishing fires and reducing associated GHG emissions.
Summary of Development
- On March 30, 2026, the development of this tool was rejected per the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process (PDF). After careful review, Verra determined that the proposal’s climate impact was not as high as that of other ideas. Verra will therefore not proceed this approach to the full methodology development process at this time.
