Carbon Monitoring Solutions

We continue to see undesirable results as wide-scale forest loss continues. Gigatons of greenhouse gases are released every year as a result of deforestation and declining biodiversity. But thanks to a number of watershed moments like REDD+ in the Paris Agreement, the NCS paper in PNAS, and the IPBES biodiversity assessment report, there is now widespread awareness and agreement among governments, the private sector, and civil society on the necessity for action. With the formation of the carbon market and the price of carbon stabilising, carbon is fast becoming one of the world’s most valuable commodities.

Independent, consistent, and globally scalable monitoring of carbon stocks and sequestration from deforestation.  We use satellite data, spaceborne LiDAR and machine learning to remotely monitor natural carbon capture strategies performance.

Prevent deforestation events happening in your supply chain, within concessions, farms, natural forests, peatlands, reserves and conservation areas.

Identify  the highest risk farms and sourcing areas and engage with your suppliers for event mitigation.

Measure progress and trends for reduced deforestation, sustainable forestry, restoration, carbon sequestration.

Most of the data offered by carbon monitoring services is fragmented with a large variance in quality. There is no magical source of data which covers every piece of land, forest, or other potential carbon stock on the globe.

The best monitoring services will combine data from multiple sources, and have consistent, reliable, scientific processes to back up their evaluations. However, with the proliferation of services and a lack of standardisation comes risk.

We combine satellite data with supply chain linkage data to provide insights on performance of agricultural production and supply chain risks.

Thanks to the power of AI and satellite technology, highly accurate and constantly improving algorithmic equations combine various sources of satellite, drone, LiDAR (laser) and on-the-ground data to provide insights into the carbon stock of a particular area. We turn these various sources into actionable carbon maps showing changes in carbon stock over time.

1. Satellite data 

We use ESA and NASA optical and radar satellite data from 1984 to the present day (Landsat programme, MODIS, Sentinel 1 Radar and Sentinel 2). Radar images allow us to see through the clouds. Our Forest Loss Risk Index (FLRI) incorporates accurate forest and other land cover and deforestation information, enables identification of risks in the entire landscape, and informs where to focus programmatic intervention.

2. Supply chain data

We have an up-to date database of millions of geolocated farms, concessions, mills, factories, refineries, ownership, group structures, TTP and supplier linkages. We can profile supplier risk and performance to the farm or aggregate level (group, district, cooperative).

Web app
