Carbon program
Gold Standard carbon credits in pipeline. Powered by data.
Farm-level dMRV. 10,000+ paddy farmers across Punjab. Every credit measurable, auditable, and audit-ready.
One of India’s largest AWD-based rice methane programs. Farmer-level water measurements captured by IoT sensors, validated by satellite, reported through our MRV platform. Credits are in pipeline pending Gold Standard issuance. 60% of carbon credit profit is shared with partner farmers.
MRV Platform
Monitoring, Reporting and Verification
The IoT, AI, and field operations are shared — built once, deployed twice.
Tamper-proof verification
Sensor data is timestamped, geotagged, and cross-validated with satellite indices auditable end-to-end.
Farm-level reporting
Every credit is traceable to the farmer, plot, and irrigation event that generated it.
Audit-ready
Built for Gold Standard verification. Reduces verification time and audit cost.
Real-Time Compliance
IoT enables real-time compliance monitoring, alerting organizations early to prevent carbon reduction non-complianceHow the program is structured.
