About
Chloris Geospatial empowers companies, governments, and civil society organizations to assess, monitor, and invest in forest conservation and restoration with confidence—anywhere on Earth. Using direct satellite observation, the platform provides deep carbon insights dating back to the year 2000, at 30m and 10m spatial resolution, with pixel-level quantified uncertainty for any area of interest. The platform offers three core data products: above-ground biomass stock for quantifying carbon inventories and tracking spatial changes year over year; above-ground biomass change for monitoring annual emissions from deforestation and degradation, as well as removals from restoration and reforestation; and forest cover monitoring that tracks area gains and losses with associated biomass and carbon impacts. Chloris serves two primary markets. For carbon markets, it supports project screening, due diligence, project development, and ongoing portfolio monitoring. For supply chains, it enables historic carbon footprint baselines, emissions and removals tracking, and regulatory compliance reporting. All models are independently validated against airborne LiDAR surveys and field plot measurements, ensuring scientific rigor and data integrity. Trusted by global organizations including AXA, Barry Callebaut, and AB InBev, Chloris is now free to explore, making high-quality forest carbon intelligence accessible to a broad range of users and institutions.
Key Features
- Above-Ground Biomass Stock Mapping: Quantify above-ground biomass and carbon stocks and track their changing spatial distribution year over year at 30m and 10m resolution.
- Above-Ground Biomass Change Monitoring: Measure annual emissions from deforestation and degradation, and removals achieved through restoration and reforestation, going back to the year 2000.
- Forest Cover Dynamics: Monitor forest area gains and losses and calculate related biomass and carbon impacts for any area of interest globally.
- Pixel-Level Uncertainty Quantification: Every data point includes pixel-level uncertainty estimates, supporting scientific rigor and confident investment and compliance decisions.
- Carbon Market & Supply Chain Workflows: Purpose-built workflows for carbon project screening, due diligence, portfolio monitoring, and supply chain emissions reporting and compliance.
Use Cases
- Carbon project developers using biomass stock and change data to accurately estimate carbon sequestration capacity and meet project certification requirements.
- Portfolio managers and carbon market analysts screening and conducting due diligence on forest carbon projects using 25 years of independently validated biomass data.
- Corporate sustainability teams tracking supply chain deforestation footprints, monitoring emissions and removals, and meeting regulatory reporting obligations.
- Governments and NGOs monitoring national deforestation rates, forest degradation, and restoration progress to inform conservation policy and investment.
- Financial institutions and insurers assessing the environmental integrity and risk profile of nature-based solution investments using high-resolution satellite data.
Pros
- Independently Validated Data: Models are validated against airborne LiDAR and field measurements, providing a level of scientific rigor trusted by leading carbon market organizations.
- Global Coverage at High Resolution: Delivers 30m and 10m spatial resolution data for any location on Earth, supporting both landscape-scale assessments and granular project analysis.
- 25 Years of Historical Records: Baseline data going back to 2000 enables robust trend analysis, deforestation history, and long-term carbon accounting.
- Free to Explore: The platform is now free to explore, allowing organizations to evaluate data quality and coverage before committing to paid plans.
Cons
- Specialized Domain Required: Interpreting biomass, carbon stock, and uncertainty outputs requires expertise in forestry, environmental science, or carbon markets.
- Limited Public Pricing Information: Enterprise and project-level pricing is not publicly listed; full access requires direct engagement with the Chloris team.
- Narrow Use Case Focus: The platform is purpose-built for forest carbon and nature-based solutions—not suitable for general geospatial or business analytics needs.
