Forest Carbon Monitoring and REDD+ Solutions
Measure carbon stocks and forest change with consistent data for project development, monitoring, and reporting.
Credible carbon results start with accurate data
Arbonaut supports carbon project developers and governments with reliable forest carbon data for project planning, monitoring, and reporting. From carbon baselines and forest-cover change to carbon stocks, emissions and removals, our approach scales from individual projects to national monitoring programs.
1,870,000+ km² mapped for forest cover and land use
90% accuracy of forest cover mapping
70% accuracy of deforestation detection
Compliance with REDD+, EUDR, UNFCCC, and other standards

Typical issues
Where carbon projects get demanding
When estimates face scrutiny from investors, auditors or other stakeholders, uncertainty around the underlying evidence can become a project risk.
Carbon can vary considerably within a project area, making it difficult to identify where stocks, risks and opportunities deserve closer attention.
Carbon, forest cover, and REDD+ initiatives need comparable information as forests change, particularly when progress and results need to be demonstrated.
With digital technology
What carbon mapping can enable
Create a reliable evidence base for demonstrating results, meeting reporting requirements and giving stakeholders greater confidence in the decisions and claims built around the project.
See carbon in the context of forest conditions to focus assessment, monitoring and project resources where they can have the greatest value.
Track forest cover and change consistently using repeatable methods, with 90% forest cover mapping and 70% deforestation detection accuracy.
