Chloris Geospatial is featured this week for intensifying its focus on scientifically validated forest carbon data and expanding its role in nature-based climate solutions. The company promoted an April 29 webinar on remote sensing for next-generation forest carbon projects, emphasizing defensible baselines and monitoring for IFM and REDD+ initiatives.

The event will showcase what Chloris describes as the first independent validation of above-ground biomass change, alongside partners including Permian Global, Winrock’s ACR, and Anew Climate. This positions its technology as market-ready for carbon project developers, verifiers, and registries seeking rigorous MRV solutions.
Chloris also released a white paper validating its Above-Ground Biomass Density product against four independent datasets, including NEON, USDA FIA, airborne LiDAR in the Brazilian Amazon, and NASA’s GEDI lidar. The analysis spans two continents and multiple biomes, covering both biomass stocks and temporal changes in forest carbon.
This expanded validation is aimed at bolstering scientific credibility and customer confidence in high-stakes carbon market applications. Stronger evidence on accuracy and change detection may support pricing power, adoption in voluntary and compliance markets, and use by financial institutions and regulators.
On the product side, the company used Earth Day to spotlight its free Biomass Viewer tool for global forest change monitoring. By making accessible data available to scientists, conservationists, project developers, corporates, and policymakers, Chloris is positioning itself at the center of emerging carbon, conservation, and restoration value chains.
The firm also underscored growing regulatory and market demand for landscape-level deforestation and forest carbon metrics, referencing the Global Canopy Forest 500 2026 report and the incoming EU Deforestation Regulation. Chloris argues that supply-chain-only verification can miss jurisdictional forest carbon losses, highlighting a gap its geospatial tools aim to address.
Commercial traction was evident in a new partnership with Uganda-based Kijani Forestry under the Equitable Earth carbon standard. Chloris is providing annual 30-meter biomass maps to support carbon accounting for a pilot forest restoration project planting over 40 indigenous tree species.
This collaboration in Northern Uganda, focused on both climate and community benefits, showcases the company’s MRV capabilities in frontier markets and could lead to recurring revenue as restoration programs scale. Overall, the week highlighted Chloris Geospatial’s push to deepen validation, expand product reach, and align with regulatory and project-level demand for robust forest carbon analytics.
