How do you help with Scope 3 emissions measurement across my supply chain?
Kanop measures Scope 3 emissions by tracking land use change and deforestation across your sourcing regions using satellite data. We quantify emissions from forest loss, land conversion, and ecosystem degradation at each supplier location, providing precise carbon footprint calculations for your indirect emissions. Our platform delivers site-specific emissions data that enables accurate Scope 3 reporting and helps identify high-risk suppliers and regions for targeted sustainability interventions.
Can I track environmental improvements from my sustainability initiatives?
Yes, Kanop provides before-and-after monitoring of your sustainability initiatives using historical satellite data and ongoing tracking. We measure improvements in forest cover, biomass recovery, and ecosystem health to quantify the environmental benefits of your investments. Our platform generates progress reports showing measurable outcomes like carbon sequestration increases, deforestation reduction, and biodiversity gains, providing the documentation needed to demonstrate ROI on sustainability initiatives to stakeholders and boards.
Which environmental reporting frameworks does Kanop support?
Kanop supports major environmental reporting frameworks including TNFD (Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures), GHG Protocol for Scope 3 emissions, EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation), GRI standards, SBTN (Science-Based Targets for Nature), and CDP disclosures. Our platform provides the precise, site-specific environmental data required for these frameworks, with automated reporting templates and audit-ready documentation that simplifies compliance across multiple regulatory requirements.
What are the different data products available?
Kanop offers two complementary data products designed to support your entire project development lifecycle.
Our Screening product provides a high-level assessment with 25-meter resolution data on canopy cover, forest cover, above and belowground biomass, canopy height, and carbon stocks. It's ideal for initial project evaluation and opportunity assessment.
Our Monitoring product delivers enhanced precision with either 10 or 25-meter resolution, including everything in Screening plus field measurement recalibration capabilities and uncertainty quantification with 95% confidence intervals. This comprehensive solution supports project certification, ongoing verification, and regulatory compliance reporting.
Can your solution differentiate between primary forests and planted forests?
Yes, our platform harnesses satellite imagery and AI to discern various types of forests, be it primary forests or plantations.
What indicators does your platform provide?
Our platform delivers a comprehensive suite of environmental indicators accessible through intuitive maps and interactive dashboards. These include vegetation structure metrics (canopy cover, forest cover, canopy height, tree height), carbon metrics (aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, carbon stock, CO2 equivalent), and biodiversity assessment through the Rao's Q diversity index. All indicators are available as both current states and change over time.
How accurate is the estimation of the aboveground biomass?
Our aboveground biomass measurements have been rigorously validated against independent reference data, including global LiDAR GEDI datasets and region-specific research from tropical forests in Brazil. These validation studies confirm our models achieve a Mean Absolute Error of approximately 15 tonnes of dry matter per hectare across diverse ecosystems.
