Nature-based projects present a number of risks for investors – whether buying & retiring credits, or investing for long-term offtake agreements.
Space Intelligence provides reliable and independent technical project insights that support all phases of your NbS program and help you reduce financial and reputational risk of investment.
ASSESS
Enhance technical due diligence with reliable insights
Ensure you’re only progressing the highest potential impact and eligible projects through your origination pipeline with our pre-feasibility screening reports.
We provide you with the information you need to answer key questions:
– Is the site eligible for the selected methodology?
– What is the project’s potential carbon sequestration?
– Does it comply with National + Regional environmental legislation.
– Are there any transport challenges for project implementation?
– What has the historic impact of fires been around the project area?
MONITOR
Monitor loss risks to your portfolio in near-real time
For REDD+ and mature ARR projects, we provide monitoring of small-scale canopy loss that might be missed by traditional methods of project review, but indicate larger risks and loss.
- Bi-weekly updates of unconfirmed degradation enable you to intervene against further clearance before it’s too late.
- Confirmed deforestation data is provided monthly (on a 3-month lag) to quantify impact of loss on the area.
REVIEW
Measure and communicate project impact with confidence
Space Intelligence’s Impact Assessment tool provides you with technical insights on projects you can trust.
We do this by using our audit-grade nature mapping data to analyse land cover change and quantify carbon reduction impact and biodiversity indicators. Through our web-based platform we provide an easy way to access and review key performance insights such as additionality, leakage, and carbon credit integrity.
Flexible data and insights to meet your needs
Our expert teams across forest carbon science, remote sensing, and carbon standards can produce out-of-the box insights available through our web platform and reports to help you across all stages of your NbS program.
Alternatively, our audit-grade nature mapping data is available to be delivered to you by GEOTIFF for flexible use by GIS analytics teams.
Maximise your nature-based investment program
Space Intelligence is a trusted provider to both sides of the nature-based solutions ecosystem and is on a mission to end deforestation and achieve mass reforestation by providing the data needed to create and support high-quality forest carbon projects.
