Problem
Land-based carbon projects face slow, costly, and fragmented monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) processes. Traditional methods struggle to capture the full range of environmental impacts—such as soil health, biodiversity, and water—alongside carbon removal, making it difficult to meet certification standards and build trust with stakeholders.
Solution
Metatons is a digital MRV platform that centralizes data collection, analysis, and verification for land-based projects. It integrates remote sensing, in-situ sensors, and laboratory analyses to measure carbon removal alongside climate, soil, biodiversity, and water parameters. The platform provides end-to-end traceability, with open data notarized on the blockchain and accessible to auditors, investors, and buyers. Users can visualize key performance indicators, generate machine-readable reports, and connect directly to carbon credit registries, streamlining compliance and accelerating time-to-credit.
Target Audience
Primary customers are project developers, auditors, investors, and carbon credit buyers involved in land-based carbon removal and environmental sustainability initiatives.
