Carbon Atlas is a software platform that guides carbon project developers through the full pre-verification lifecycle—from project intake and methodology matching to eligibility assessment, carbon quantification, and PDD drafting—with AI assistance and a complete audit trail at every stage. The platform supports Verra VCS, Gold Standard, CDM, and Saudi Arabia's GCOM national crediting mechanism, with KSA-aware defaults built into its knowledge base. It automates document reading, methodology selection, and credit calculations, ensuring every figure is fully cited and traceable for validator review.

Problem
Carbon project developers face a lengthy, complex pre-verification process that requires matching projects to the correct methodologies, proving eligibility, quantifying emissions reductions, and drafting registry-ready documentation. Every claim must be backed by verifiable citations, which typically takes months of specialist effort and often results in errors or delays that surface only during validation.
Solution
Carbon Atlas provides an AI-powered software platform that automates the pre-verification lifecycle for carbon projects, from initial screening through registry-submittable Project Design Documents (PDDs). The platform reads uploaded project documents, recommends best-fit methodologies ranked by fit, checks every eligibility criterion, and quantifies credit potential using published formulas—with every figure automatically cited. It guides users through additionality testing, baseline scenario development, and monitoring plan creation, all while maintaining a full audit trail. The system supports Verra VCS, Gold Standard, CDM, and Saudi Arabia's GCOM national mechanism, with KSA-aware defaults built into its knowledge base. Carbon Atlas drafts PDDs section by section with AI assistance, keeping the user in control of approvals at each stage.
Target Audience
Primary customers are carbon project developers, consultancies, and registries operating in Saudi Arabia's growing carbon market, as well as organizations developing projects under Verra, Gold Standard, or CDM frameworks who need to streamline their pre-verification workflows.
