Carbon Capture Project MRV Platform
Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) platform for carbon capture and storage projects. Uses satellite data, IoT sensors, and AI to verify captured CO2 quantities and ensure permanence.
Problem Solved
Carbon capture projects need verified MRV to generate carbon credits, but current methods are expensive ($50K-$500K per audit) and slow (6-12 months). Lack of standardized MRV limits market growth.
Target Audience
Direct air capture companies, CCS project developers, carbon credit registries, government agencies
Revenue Model
$5K-$50K/project/year, or $2K-$10K/month platform fee. Revenue target: $500K-$5M ARR by year 3.
Key Features to Build
- Satellite-based monitoring and verification
- IoT sensor data integration
- Automated compliance reporting
- Permanence risk assessment
- Registry integration for credit issuance
