CARBON STORAGE
Technology description
The Carbon Storage layer quantifies the CO2 captured by greenery, offering a precise measure of nature's role in mitigating atmospheric carbon levels. Leveraging Sentinel- 2 MSI, sophisticated machine learning techniques process a range of vegetation and soil indices to estimate CO2 sequestration reliably. The outcome, with a 10-meter spatial resolution, reveals the tons (t) of sequestered carbon, directly correlating with the density and health of the underlying vegetation. This layer provides an invaluable tool for understanding and optimizing our planet's natural carbon sinks.
Uses scenario
Algorithms provide precise carbon storage data, enhancing transparency and accuracy in carbon trading. This supports pricing, reporting, and regulatory compliance in carbon markets.
Algorithms assess carbon sequestration in forests, aiding sustainable management practices and conservation efforts. They help in monitoring forest health and planning reforestation projects.
Algorithms evaluate the carbon storage potential of properties, guiding eco-friendly development and investment decisions. This supports sustainable building practices and green certifications.
Algorithms offer detailed carbon storage data for academic and scientific research, facilitating studies on climate change, ecosystem services, and environmental impact assessments.
Algorithms track corporate carbon footprints and the effectiveness of green initiatives, supporting sustainability goals and CSR reporting.
