A key focus was the upcoming May 14 live demo of its DisturbanceTracker technology, positioned as a more sensitive tool for detecting small-scale forest degradation in REDD and REDD+ projects. Led by Dr. Alexis Moyer and Prof. Ed Mitchard, the 30-minute session will compare DisturbanceTracker against open-source alert systems in Brazil and Indonesia to showcase earlier detection of selective logging.
DisturbanceTracker uses SAR-based monthly alerts to provide early warning of deforestation and degradation, allowing project operators to intervene before losses escalate. The company is marketing the product to carbon project developers, investors, and institutions seeking higher-integrity forest carbon credits, framing it as a differentiator in a crowded monitoring landscape.
The firm also continues to promote GrowthTracker, its solution for early-stage afforestation and reforestation projects designed to address monitoring gaps immediately after planting. By delivering monthly alerts on potential underperformance, GrowthTracker aims to reduce irreversible project losses and bolster confidence among lenders and carbon-credit buyers.
On the commercial front, Space Intelligence announced it has been selected by Verra as one of three providers for multi-year deforestation risk mapping under methodology VM0048 and module VMD0055. Over a five-year period, the company will deliver jurisdictional activity data, forest cover benchmark maps, and allocated deforestation risk maps, initially covering the Philippines and Brazil’s Mato Grosso state.
This engagement builds on prior work producing seven forest cover benchmark maps for Verra in countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Timor Leste, and Argentina. The expanded collaboration signals deeper integration into the Verified Carbon Standard ecosystem and could provide recurring revenue tied to demand for robust baselines and risk data.
Space Intelligence also reported selection for the Blue Catalyst Challenge in Singapore, an innovation program organized by Hatch Blue and WWF-Singapore with support from the Singapore Economic Development Board. Running from May 11–22, 2026, the initiative focuses on high-integrity blue carbon solutions and includes a Demo Day on May 22.
During the challenge, the company plans to refine its technology for blue carbon and mangrove restoration in collaboration with global experts. Participation offers exposure to Singapore’s sustainability finance and carbon market networks, potentially opening pathways for partnerships, pilot projects, and grant or commercial funding in coastal restoration.
Across communications, Space Intelligence highlighted the role of its chief scientist, Prof. Ed Mitchard, and broader technical leadership to distinguish itself from generic remote-sensing providers. The emphasis on conservative, independent baselines and rigorous monitoring aligns with rising scrutiny of carbon-credit integrity and evolving regulatory expectations.
Taken together, the week’s developments portray Space Intelligence as consolidating its position in both forest and blue carbon analytics, combining product marketing with strategic partnerships. If the company can convert these demonstrations and programs into long-term contracts, it may strengthen its role in the data and analytics layer of global carbon markets and support more robust, transparent project outcomes.
