Sucking up CO2

Founded: 2018

Restore nature. Remove carbon.

Big Picture

Keeping temperatures from rising more than 1.5 °C requires aggressive restoration of nature’s carbon trapping ecosystems. Forests, for example, are key for both carbon removal and ecosystem stability, yet we lose almost 20m acres per year to fires and ranchers. But bringing together the right partners for high quality projects – with reliable project verification – has proven to be a huge obstacle. Overcoming this barrier could unlock billions for nature-based carbon removal.

How it Works

Pachama is becoming the go-to nature-based carbon project matchmaker, bringing together corporates eager to buy high quality, durable carbon removal and communities looking to earn money and reforest their land. Pachama combines satellite imagery and AI to provide automated, real-time monitoring of every project without large upfront costs to landowners. This lowers the barrier to new restorative carbon projects while providing a higher-fidelity product.

Unfair Advantage

From idea to seeding to issuing credits, Pachama is a one-stop-shop for high integrity forest projects, with a platform that streamlines a notoriously onerous and opaque process. With the world’s highest resolution project monitoring, the only AI-assisted verification, and a consumer-caliber user experience that makes it easy to keep tabs on projects, Pachama delivers next-level transparency for carbon markets and next-level protection for carbon-sucking ecosystems.
