Challenges and Opportunities in Carbon Markets
The goals for combating climate change are clear: achieving carbon neutrality. In this context, carbon credit markets are an effective regulatory tool to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while ensuring profitability and monetization. The implementation of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) created the world’s largest carbon credit market, covering 40% of all EU emissions. Despite scientific and technological progress, the regulation does not include some of the most significant carbon capturers in the ecosystem, such as permeable soil or oceans.
GeoAI for an Emerging Market
We combine geospatial data and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify carbon sinks and increase monetization potential.
Capturer Analysis
We apply an innovative methodology that considers CO2 capturers such as biodiversity, permeable soil, and oceans.
Digital Mapping
We establish geographic areas impacted by CO2 sinks and represent them in an interactive atlas.
Monetization and Impact
We assist in finding monetization options and quantify the impact on people’s quality of life.

Heat Islands: Quantifying Climate Change Effects
Temperature Increase by 12º
City temperatures are estimated to rise by up to 12º soon. Increasing energy consumption in affected areas by up to 10%.
Healthcare System Pressure
People over 65 are at higher risk from temperature increases. Well-known “heatwaves” can increase hospital pressure by up to 30%.
Virus Proliferation
Increased thermal stress hours create ideal conditions for viruses like Zika, dengue, and malaria to proliferate. Posing a significant risk to the population.
Understanding Climate Evolution with Satellite Precision
Historical Data
Unlike static data from weather stations, we access up to 20 years of climate data for comprehensive analysis.
Visual Representation
We create digital maps to visually analyze all relevant urban aspects.
Value Correlations
We establish correlations of interest for the ecosystem: vegetative evolution, extreme climatic events linked to temperature changes, etc.
Smart Urban Planning with GeoAI
Identifying heat islands enables improved urban planning decisions based on data. Make accurate decisions based on data.
Reflectance
Use reflective surfaces to mitigate the effects of heat on abundant elements such as roads.
Green Areas
Use reflective surfaces to mitigate heat effects on common elements like roads.
Green Roofs
Combat temperature increases by implementing green zones.
Urban Planning
Promote energy independence and mitigate heat island effects by utilizing building roofs.
Monitoring Pollutant Aerosols
We use geospatial data and AI to monitor the concentration of pollutant gases in both urban and peripheral environments. Geospatial data provides precise information on gases like ozone, methane, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide, aiding in the comprehensive management of environmental challenges.
