Bhoomie Carbon Platform
Bhoomie offers a user-friendly carbon digital platform solution for land-based and forestry carbon projects.
Making it easier to set up, manage and digitise carbon credits under international and national schemes.
Our platform includes three key components
-
Accurate carbon stock assessment.
-
Measurement, secure data management and storage of carbon stock information.
-
Guide to project setup and upload.
INNOVATION AROUND DATA
Bhoomie has developed in-house advanced 3D and geospatial technology capabilities including efficient LiDAR data capture and processing methods.
This is combined with our innovative carbon calculation methods (peer-reviewed and IPCC compliant) to provide:
-
Precision project mapping (capture more land compared to regular imagery)
-
Real-time tree volumes through advanced algorithms and methodologies
-
More accurate carbon calculation on-the-ground
IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIES
The key to maximising the amount of carbon credit produced is through identifying the species of trees in the project and calculating how dense the species is. This ensures the calculations of carbon stored in various tree species are the most accurate. Calculating the volume of a tree beyond its trunk with consideration of shape and branches is not an easy task. Bhoomie works closely with experts to understand and appreciate each species of tree.
HOW TREE VOLUME IS CALCULATED
The density for each tree species identified in the project is scientifically calculated. A baseline measurement for each tree is then determined.
The growth of trees from the trunk through to the branches is periodically measured via LiDAR technology. The data collected through LiDAR is stored and processed into a usable state. This information is then compared to the original baseline.
The difference between the baseline and the new data is calculated to provide a measurement of growth.
HOW CARBON IS CALCULATED PER TREE
Once the species of tree is identified, the growth measured Bhoomie calculate the carbon stored. As this is a highly technical process Bhoomie work closely with experts in the field and data scientist to ensure each step is methodical.
This final measurement enables Bhoomie to create an accurate reflection of the growth that has occurred over a period of time and measure the carbon extracted from the atmosphere and stored in each tree.
HOW DATA SETS ARE MERGED INTO GIS SOFTWARE
A Geographic Information System (GIS Software) is designed to store, retrieve, manage, display, and analyse all types of geographic and spatial data. GIS Software lets you produce maps and other graphic displays of geographic information for analysis and presentation.
LiDAR technology produces data from collected information such as data points from light pulses. This data is gathered and stored directly in a cloud system, from here this data needs to be processed to create usability. Part of this process is converting the data into a GIS-friendly format. This is where the data scientists of Bhoomie shine. This information is then processed and used to accurately calculate the carbon stored and produce carbon credits.
HOW CARBON CREDITS ARE GENERATED
All the above steps are completed to calculate the amount of carbon stored through each project. Once the measurement is complete, we can calculate the number of carbon credits.
Bhoomie is the leader in the field of maximising returns for carbon farming projects. We work to build trusted relationships between farmers and carbon credit buyers. Our process is based on science and mathematics made easier with streamlined operations and report generation. With Bhoomie we make it easier for auditing and verifying credits.
We secure carbon credits and management services through advanced cloud and blockchain solutions. This enables suppliers and buyers to understand the quality and value involved in carbon credits and build confidence in what they are supplying or purchasing.
