Problem
The voluntary carbon market lacks a standardized approach to transparently and credibly validate the co-benefits of carbon credits, such as ecosystem services, biodiversity enhancement, and socio-economic outcomes. Existing methods often fail to provide data-backed verification of these holistic impacts, hindering businesses from investing in carbon credits that deliver tangible environmental and social value. This also limits the flow of carbon finance to marginal communities in developing economies, which are most affected by climate change.
Solution
Ecosys.Earth is developing a technology platform that integrates digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) systems using satellite, drone, smartphone, and IoT data to provide real-time insights into carbon credit projects. The platform focuses on biochar production by smallholder farmers, quantifying the carbon sequestration and associated co-benefits like improved soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity enhancement. Data is analyzed using AI/ML and published on a blockchain-protected dashboard, ensuring transparency and auditability. This approach aims to deliver high-impact carbon credits to businesses while supporting sustainable livelihoods and ecosystem restoration in vulnerable communities.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes businesses seeking high-quality, verifiable carbon credits with demonstrable environmental and social impact, as well as organizations focused on sustainability and ecosystem restoration in developing economies.
