By offering reliable tooling for measuring, managing, and monitoring carbon removals, CarbonCrop's technology allows you to get visibility over your complete forest carbon removals picture. Using remote sensing, AI, and automation, the CarbonCrop platform removes the traditional barriers for forest carbon removals, reducing the effort needed to support decarbonisation efforts and access carbon removal incentives.
But how does it actually work? Let’s jump into it.
Carbon Measurement and Monitoring
Aerial and satellite imagery
CarbonCrop leverages high-resolution aerial imagery and satellite data to monitor forest growth and health. Aerial imagery provides a detailed view of above-ground biomass, while satellite imagery can offer near-real-time updates on forest loss.
AI and Machine Learning
As a technology company at heart, CarbonCrop has built proprietary models trained for specific use cases to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our tooling. CarbonCrop’s machine learning models integrate a range of data inputs to identify forest areas, calculate forest carbon stocks, and forecast sequestration. Our AI models consider factors such as tree species and environmental conditions from thousands of data points to provide a comprehensive picture of carbon stocks in forest areas.
Integrated Data Sources
CarbonCrop’s data analytics integrate aerial and satellite imagery with the latest research on New Zealand native forest growth, providing comprehensive carbon sequestration estimates for forest areas.
High-Resolution Mapping
Using high-resolution imagery, CarbonCrop’s tooling achieves measurements at a pixel resolution under 1m. This is more detailed than typical satellite imagery resolutions of 3m to 10m per pixel, allowing for higher levels of accuracy when determining forest species composition and maturity.
Continuous Monitoring
CarbonCrop’s platform regularly monitors forest carbon stocks, using a specially trained AI model to detect changes in forest area to ensure that carbon removal projections are based on verifiable data.
Optimised Carbon Removal Projects
Future forest planting
CarbonCrop’s technology helps in future planting by providing carbon return forecasts for mapped areas. This includes predicting the carbon sequestration potential based on different planting dates and forest types, allowing for better planning and optimisation of carbon projects.
Task Management
Our platform features a comprehensive task management system, allowing users to assign, filter, and export tasks related to their sites, streamlining project workflows.
Registration Status
The CarbonCrop platform tracks the status of your ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme) forest areas, ensuring effective management of all project steps.
Automated Reporting
With automated reports for providing land assessments, updates on registered areas, or even evidence, you can easily communicate with stakeholders, ensuring that all necessary information is shared without hours of work.
Automated Forecasting
With our custom built “finance engine”, the CarbonCrop platform offers users automated forecasting for forest areas for both potential carbon revenue earned, and tonnes of carbon removed per year, supporting in decision-making.
Verification and Validation
Independent Audits
CarbonCrop’s technology supports a third-party verification process by providing the data you require to fulfil the required criteria. Independent auditors can easily access and verify this data, ensuring your decarbonisation claims meet international standards.
Compliance Support
Whether you are registered in the NZ ETS, or auditing your footprint under an international certification, our tooling simplifies compliance. We provide easy access to the data you need, enabling confident reporting on your net-zero progress.
Traceability
CarbonCrop's CarbonTracer app prevents double-counting through unit tracking. It allows you to trace specific carbon removal units back to their source forest blocks, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Scalability and Accessibility
User friendly
The CarbonCrop platform offers a streamlined, all-in-one solution for managing your forest carbon removals. It simplifies planning, measuring, monitoring, and reporting, helping users understand their carbon removal potential, access incentives, and achieve decarbonisation goals.
Simplified Access to Carbon Markets
By streamlining the process of identifying forest carbon removals, CarbonCrop’s technology drives broader adoption by providing clear financial benefits and facilitating the monetisation of carbon removals. The tooling simplifies the processes involved in carbon market participation, from initial assessments to credit management, making carbon markets more accessible for everyone involved.
Scalability
CarbonCrop’s technology is designed to scale with your needs. Whether you're managing a single hectare or thousands, our platform handles forests of all sizes with equal efficiency. Our technology brings carbon removal potential to your fingertips, even for the most remote locations, eliminating the need for on-site assessments. From new plantings to regenerating areas and established forests, our platform accommodates both exotic and native forest species with ease.
As your business evolves, so does our platform. Large forest expanses and multiple carbon removal suppliers across your entire supply chain, even those in different regions, can be processed with ease. Seamlessly scales to meet changing decarbonisation needs, from initial small-scale projects to complex projects. Whether you're a farmer, forestry consultant, or Primary Sector Business looking to decarbonise, CarbonCrop's technology supports you in maximising your forest carbon removals.
So, what does all this mean for you?
Simply put, CarbonCrop's technology makes managing forest carbon removals easier and more accessible. We're all about making forest carbon removals straightforward, so you can spend less time worrying about technicalities and more time on your decarbonisation goals. Our platform takes the complexity out of measuring and monitoring your forest's carbon potential, whether you have a small woodlot or manage vast areas of forest.
We've designed our tools to grow with your needs, handle various forest types, and work for even the most remote areas. This means you can focus on what matters - making the most of the carbon removal potential on your land or in your supply chain.
