Chloris Geospatial – Weekly Recap

Chloris Geospatial is the focus of this weekly recap, highlighting notable developments in its forest carbon measurement and monitoring offerings. The company is underscoring its role in nature-based climate solutions, carbon markets, and regulatory-aligned forest analytics.

During the week, Chloris promoted an April 29 webinar on remote sensing for next-generation forest carbon projects, aimed at IFM and REDD+ initiatives. The event will feature what it calls the first independent validation of above-ground biomass change, with partners including Permian Global, Winrock’s ACR, and Anew Climate.

Chloris also released a white paper validating its Above-Ground Biomass Density product against four independent datasets across two continents and multiple biomes. These include NEON, USDA FIA, airborne LiDAR in the Brazilian Amazon, and NASA’s GEDI lidar, covering both biomass stocks and temporal changes.

The company highlighted that this expanded validation is intended to bolster scientific credibility and customer confidence in high-stakes carbon market applications. Stronger evidence on accuracy and change detection may support adoption in voluntary and compliance markets, as well as use by financial institutions and regulators.

On the product side, Chloris used Earth Day to spotlight its free Biomass Viewer tool for global forest change monitoring. By offering open access to biomass and forest change data, it aims to serve scientists, conservationists, project developers, corporates, and policymakers involved in carbon and conservation efforts.

Chloris drew attention to regulatory and market demand for landscape-level deforestation and forest carbon metrics, citing the Global Canopy Forest 500 2026 report and the incoming EU Deforestation Regulation. It argued that supply-chain-only approaches can miss jurisdictional forest carbon losses, a gap its geospatial tools seek to address.

Commercial traction this week included a 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 restoration project planting more than 40 indigenous tree species in Northern Uganda.

The company also ramped up its presence in climate and sustainable finance circles, with leadership planning to attend Ecosperity Week and Innovate4Climate in Singapore in May. Co-Founder and Co-CEO Marco Albani and Head of Solutions Evan Paul are seeking meetings with stakeholders across forest carbon, emissions accounting, and nature-based solutions.

Chloris used social channels to stress the limitations of commonly used indices such as NDVI, NDFI, and canopy height for Verra’s VM0047 carbon baselines. It promoted a blog by its SVP of Business Development and Partnerships on criteria for fit-for-purpose data and key questions for project developers before verification.

Collectively, these moves indicate a push to position Chloris as a provider of higher-fidelity biomass data for carbon project monitoring, reporting, and verification. If its methods gain traction with developers, verifiers, and registries, the company could strengthen its competitive standing and revenue prospects in emerging high-integrity carbon markets.

Overall, the week showcased Chloris Geospatial’s efforts to deepen scientific validation, expand product reach, and build strategic relationships in both project-level and finance-focused climate forums. These developments could enhance its visibility and relevance in global forest carbon and nature-based solutions value chains.
