Chloris Geospatial has introduced a new biomass risk tool aimed at improving the accuracy and reliability of forest carbon credits. The tool uses satellite data and AI to assess the risk of biomass loss from deforestation, fire, and other disturbances, helping project developers and buyers evaluate the durability of carbon offsets. This matters because one of the biggest criticisms of forest carbon credits is that they lack transparency on how long carbon stays stored. By providing a risk score for each project, Chloris is trying to give the market a clearer picture of which credits actually deliver long-term climate benefit. It could help separate higher quality credits from ones that might not hold up.
