Kanop as a Partner

Our key principles from the start to long-term partnership

Accurate

Cutting-edge AI and science-driven methodology for quantifying aboveground biomass and other key metrics. Our proprietary models are trained on extensive forest data including high-resolution LiDAR scans. Field data calibration further reduces uncertainty, delivering the confidence needed for critical investment decisions.

Scalable

We seamlessly handle diverse ecosystems worldwide—from tropical rainforests and temperate woodlands to mangroves and grasslands. Monitor millions of hectares in days rather than months, with consistent methodology across your entire portfolio, enabling efficient management of global sustainability initiatives.

Compliant

Kanop is designed to adapt to various methodologies and is fully compliant with internationally recognized standards, such as Verra and Gold Standard. We support the latest methodologies such as VM0047 and provide expert guidance on meeting requirements.

Independent and auditable

We focus solely on delivering accurate, traceable results without conflicts of interest. Every measurement includes comprehensive documentation suitable for third-party verification, building confidence with investors, regulators, and stakeholders through transparent reporting.
Everything you need to know about Kanop

Frequently asked questions

Our answers to how Kanop provides you tooling you need for nature-based solutions.

How do you support ongoing monitoring and reporting requirements?

Kanop provides continuous monitoring throughout your project lifecycle with automated annual reporting aligned to your chosen methodology. We track key indicators like biomass growth, forest cover changes, and compliance metrics, generating verification-ready reports for VVB submissions. Our platform maintains audit trails, manages field data integration, and delivers standardized documentation that meets carbon standard requirements, ensuring smooth verification processes and credit issuance.

Can you help with methodology selection and eligibility assessment?

Yes, Kanop automatically assesses your project area against multiple carbon standards including Verra (VM0047, VM0048, VM0033), Gold Standard, Isometric, and Equitable Earth. We analyze historical land use, forest cover, and environmental conditions to determine which methodologies your project qualifies for. Our platform provides detailed eligibility reports showing compliance status for each methodology, helping you select the most suitable approach for maximum credit potential and certification success.

How can Kanop help streamline my project development process?

Kanop streamlines project development through automated assessments and AI-powered documentation. We provide rapid eligibility checks across multiple methodologies, generate baseline scenarios and carbon credit projections in days rather than months, and deliver validation-ready reports that meet VVB requirements. Our platform automates complex calculations, reduces field measurement needs, and provides all necessary documentation for PDD preparation, significantly reducing development timelines and costs.

How do you support Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) project development?

Kanop supports ARR projects with a comprehensive set of specialized tools throughout their lifecycle. During planning, we help identify optimal planting locations, verify methodological eligibility across standards, and assess baseline conditions with historical land use analysis.

Our project design tools include crediting projections based on forest carbon modeling, performance benchmark establishment, and development of monitoring plans that satisfy certification requirements.

For implementation and monitoring, we deliver regular assessments of carbon stock changes, detect disturbance events, and prepare robust documentation for verification bodies.

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.

Customers we are proud to support

Kanop has proven to be an invaluable partner in our geospatial analysis efforts across multiple projects. Their cutting-edge data products and deep methodological expertise have significantly enhanced the implementation of our initiatives.

Without the Kanop team, our VM0047 PDD would not have reached the same level of quality. They have a collaborative and transparent process that saved us time and money. We look forward to working with them in the future.

Overseeing the health and growth rate of all sites with over 200 million planted trees is a monumental challenge. With Kanop's provision of detailed data, we will get invaluable insight into tree health and the biodiversity of our planting sites, enabling us to pinpoint the exact areas needing additional support.

Our projects are global and building accurate reporting systems was becoming costly and challenging from an operational point of view. Kanop provides a scalable and reliable MRV solution, built by a passionate team that has expertise on biomass and carbon monitoring.

It's a fantastic product that fits us perfectly! I looked for a year (YEAR, to emphasize) for a dMRV that fit us and everything out there had a "30k hectare minimum for REDD+ at $50k per year." I am just excited for something that fits our business model and our unique scope.

Working alongside Kanop has felt natural. Their platform has allowed us to view our projects through a deeper, scientifically robust lens. Their team has adapted seamlessly to our pace and workflows, demonstrating both a keen understanding of and commitment to building projects with real impact.
