Transform Carbon Credit Sequestration with Drone-Based LiDAR
Advanced drone technology delivering precision carbon measurement for businesses seeking verified carbon credits. More accurate. More detailed. More trustworthy. Up to 91% coverage of Carbon Pool!
Why Drone-based Sequestration Outperforms Traditional Methods
Traditional Monitoring
Ground-based carbon inventories demand extensive manual labor, specialized expertise, and time-intensive field measurements. These conventional methods frequently yield incomplete datasets with significant sampling biases and prohibitively high costs per acre assessed.
While satellite imagery offers broad geographical coverage, it fundamentally lacks the resolution necessary for precise carbon quantification, creating significant verification challenges for credit buyers seeking robust environmental impact investments.
Coverage: Limited to canopy assessment only, representing merely 2% of the total carbon pool and sequestering just 0.5-3.0 tCO2e per hectare
Aurigraph Drone Solution
Our advanced UAV platforms operate at strategically optimized altitudes to capture ultra-high resolution data, effectively bridging the critical gap between limited field sampling and broad satellite monitoring with exceptional time and cost efficiency.
Our drone technology delivers non-invasive, consistently repeatable measurements that precisely track dynamic carbon changes over time with standardized methodology—a fundamental requirement for credible carbon credit verification and certification.
Coverage: Comprehensive assessment of above and below ground biomass plus Soil Organic Carbon (SoC), encompassing 91% of the total carbon pool and sequestering over 40 tCO2e per hectare
LiDAR Technology: The Gold Standard for Biomass Measurement
Precise 3D Measurement
LiDAR sensors emit laser pulses creating detailed three-dimensional point clouds that accurately capture canopy height, density, and understory terrain—critical metrics for carbon estimation.
Superior Biomass Assessment
Studies demonstrate R² values exceeding 0.9 when combining LiDAR with ground data, making it the most reliable remote sensing method for above-ground biomass quantification.
Vertical Structure Analysis
Unlike flat imagery, LiDAR penetrates vegetation layers to measure the entire carbon stock, from ground level to canopy top, providing a complete picture of sequestered carbon.
Multispectral Imaging: Revealing Invisible Carbon Indicators
Vegetation Health Analysis
Measure photosynthetic activity and carbon capture rates
Biomass Estimation
Calculate vegetation indices correlated with carbon storage
Soil Carbon Indicators
Monitor bare soil reflectance patterns linked to organic carbon
Temporal Change Detection
Track carbon sequestration progress over multiple seasons
Our specialized sensors capture hundreds of narrow spectral bands to detect subtle changes in vegetation and soil properties invisible to the human eye, providing crucial insights into carbon sequestration performance.
Satellite vs. Drone: The Resolution Revolution
Superior Resolution
While satellites typically offer 10-30m resolution, our drones deliver centimeter-level precision, capturing individual trees and even branches critical for accurate carbon measurement.
Weather Independence
Satellites struggle with cloud cover and atmospheric interference. Our drone missions can be scheduled during optimal conditions for consistent, reliable data collection.
Rapid Deployment
Satellite revisit times can be weeks or months. Aurigraph drones can be deployed on demand, providing timely data when you need it for carbon credit verification timelines.
Custom Collection Parameters
Unlike fixed satellite sensors, our drone payloads can be customized for each project's specific requirements, optimizing data collection for your carbon measurement needs.
Expanded Carbon Pool Coverage
Satellites typically capture only 2% of carbon pool data, while our drone technology comprehensively assesses above and below ground biomass plus Soil Organic Carbon (SoC), achieving 91% total carbon pool coverage.
