Problem
Landholders often lack the tools to accurately quantify and track carbon sequestration on their land, hindering their ability to participate in carbon credit markets. Existing methods for measuring carbon removals can be complex, costly, and lack transparency, creating barriers to entry for landowners seeking financial incentives for forest restoration.
Solution
CarbonCrop offers a forest restoration platform that simplifies carbon measurement, monitoring, and monetization for landholders and businesses. By leveraging remote sensing and machine learning, the platform quantifies carbon removals from existing and restored forests, enabling transparent and verifiable carbon credit generation. CarbonCrop's technology provides ongoing forest monitoring, alerting users to potential forest loss and automatically adjusting for gains and losses in carbon sequestration. The platform also facilitates the creation of value from non-ETS carbon, allowing users to reduce their net emissions footprint and create low-carbon products. CarbonCrop supports investment in biodiverse native forests and provides transparent unit tracking for confident reporting of net-zero progress.
Target Audience
CarbonCrop serves landholders seeking to maximize carbon revenue, catchment groups aiming to understand and protect their environment, and businesses looking to unlock supply chain carbon removals.
