Chloris Geospatial is an early-stage company developing technology using satellite data and artificial intelligence to create products that enable organizations to invest in nature-based solutions, reduce carbon footprint, and achieve sustainability goals. Its global biomass change product provides estimates of changes in terrestrial carbon storage in a commodity supply region, detecting deforestation and forest degradation, and estimating the contribution of regrowth. Its prototype operates at moderate resolution data and can measure changes in stock and the fluxes to the atmosphere at jurisdictional and large project scale. It is developing a medium resolution product to monitor change at operational scale.
