Isometric has partnered with eight leading nature-based data and service providers to deliver fast, accurate certification for carbon removal suppliers. Cecil, Earthshot Labs, Kanop, Planet, Space Intelligence, Sylvera, TransparenC, and Treeconomy will provide technical consultation, Earth-observation data, and carbon quantification services to support projects issuing certificates under Isometric’s Biosphere protocols.
Isometric launched its first nature-based carbon removal protocol, for Reforestation, in 2024, and has since expanded to include Improved Forest Management, Mangrove Restoration, and Agroforestry. Earlier this month, the Reforestation Protocol was approved by ICVCM to issue carbon removal certificates with the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) label.
These new partnerships will enable Isometric to support early-stage projects with feasibility and project design services, streamline onboarding for suppliers switching from other certifiers, and deliver in-house dynamic baselining and rapid carbon quantification using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Earth-observation data.
The partners were selected following an open RFI that received over 20 applications and a detailed case study process focused on alignment with protocol requirements and the Isometric Standard.
Feasibility partners
New nature-based suppliers often conduct feasibility and eligibility assessments to project the carbon removal certificates their project will generate and ensure compliance with core protocol requirements. Isometric's feasibility partners support suppliers in conducting these assessments and provide consulting services for project design and for projects switching from other certifiers to Isometric.
Isometric approved four partners based on platform capabilities and consulting expertise:
Troy Carter, CEO of Earthshot Labs, said: “It's motivating to see how deeply Isometric's team shares Earthshot's dedication to scientific rigor, giving buyers real confidence in nature‑based carbon removal. The technical infrastructure we’re building together will help unlock nature‑based projects through faster due diligence, credit issuance, and project approvals, along with greater transparency. This will reduce uncertainty for buyers, suppliers, and investors, which is exactly what this market needs.”
Earth-observation data partners
Measuring above-ground biomass and setting dynamic baselines with technologies like Earth-observation and LiDAR can significantly reduce supplier costs and improve accuracy. However, achieving accurate results requires high-quality data, comprehensive coverage, and a rigorous approach to quantification and uncertainty.
To address these challenges for suppliers, Isometric directly procures the Earth-observation data used to conduct these measurements from our partners. This reduces the administrative burden and cost for suppliers while ensuring consistency across projects, enhancing accuracy, and increasing buyer confidence.
Isometric has partnered with five Earth-observation data providers to source global map data for calculating above-ground biomass and dynamic baselining:
Romain Fau, CEO of Kanop, said: “Isometric stands out for combining strong science with a technology-enabled approach to standard setting, which helps bring the scalability that nature-based carbon markets need. At Kanop, we're proud to support that vision with our satellite-based biomass monitoring, and we look forward to demonstrating together what high-integrity NBS crediting can look like at scale.”
These partnerships strengthen Isometric’s ability to deliver fast, accurate certification for nature-based carbon removal. Get in touch to find out how Isometric can support your Biosphere project.
