Quanterra Systems Ltd.

We provide robust, affordable and timely measurement of ecosystem carbon flows, so that society can have confidence in Nature Based Solutions to climate change. Measuring carbon stocks is important, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. We think that measuring carbon should be like monitoring cash-flow: you need to understand in-flows and out-flows on a regular basis, annual reviews just aren’t enough to optimise management. So just like a cash-register measures financial flows and provides valuable insight into the health of a retail business, we’re developing a service that provides automated insights into the health of an ecosystem. We developed a prototype service as part of environmental research at University of Exeter, and founded Quanterra as a “spin-out” in January 2021. We’re now operating commercially, working with early-access partners to refine the system and enable deployment at scale.
