According to a recent LinkedIn post from Space Intelligence, Verra has selected the company as one of three data service providers to deliver allocated deforestation risk maps under the VM0048 methodology and its module VMD0055. The post indicates that Space Intelligence will generate jurisdictional activity data, forest cover benchmark maps, and allocated deforestation risk maps over a five-year period.

The post highlights that initial work will focus on forest-rich jurisdictions including the Philippines and Brazil’s Mato Grosso state, with specific outputs ranging from risk maps to activity data and benchmark maps. Space Intelligence’s role builds on prior work producing seven Forest Cover Benchmark maps for Verra, suggesting continuity and an expanded scope of collaboration.
As shared in the post, concentrating work with three established providers is presented as a way for Verra to improve efficiency in data development and provide clearer baselines for project developers and offtakers in carbon markets. This could enhance transparency around supply planning, baseline setting, and timing for REDD+ projects that rely on Verra’s methodologies.
For investors, the expanded engagement with Verra may signal recurring, multi-year revenue opportunities tied to demand for high-quality forest and deforestation risk data. It may also strengthen Space Intelligence’s positioning within the carbon markets value chain, potentially supporting future project wins as methodologies evolve and more jurisdictions seek independent data providers.
