What does NaturaLedger do?

NaturaLedger provides AI-powered feasibility assessment, digital MRV with satellite and field monitoring, AI-assisted PDD (Project Design Document) generation, end-to-end digital traceability, automated community revenue sharing, and integrated VVB audit portals. The platform supports Verra VCS, Gold Standard, and Article 6 ITMO mechanisms.

Who is NaturaLedger for?

NaturaLedger serves carbon project developers, cooperatives, NGOs, governments (Article 6 DNA), DFI and impact investors, VVBs (Validation and Verification Bodies), corporate carbon buyers, and local communities including farmers and rangers.

What project types does NaturaLedger support?

NaturaLedger supports 8 nature-based solution categories: REDD+, ARR (Afforestation Reforestation Revegetation), IFM (Improved Forest Management), Blue Carbon (Mangrove), Agroforestry, Soil Carbon, Biochar, and Peatland.

What makes NaturaLedger different from competitors?

NaturaLedger is the only platform covering the entire carbon credit value chain end-to-end with 14 workflow steps. Key differentiators include: AI-powered 9-block feasibility engine, 3 MRV operating modes (Continuous, Campaign-based, Production), automated community benefit sharing, FPIC digital management, multi-standard architecture (Verra + Gold Standard + Article 6), integrated VVB portal, DFI escrow milestone tracking, and an offline-first mobile field app for farmers and rangers.

How does NaturaLedger handle community revenue sharing?

NaturaLedger uses automated distribution rules to calculate and record revenue splits transparently, while third-party payment providers (Orange Money, MTN, Flutterwave for Africa; PIX for Brazil) execute real-world payments. NaturaLedger is never custodian of community funds. Communities receive a minimum 20% share of carbon revenue.

What is NaturaLedger's MRV approach?

NaturaLedger operates 3 MRV modes: Continuous (satellite via Global Forest Watch + GEDI + Sentinel-2 combined with ranger field patrols), Campaign-based (field sampling + laboratory analysis for soil carbon), and Production (manufacturing logs for biochar). All evidence is digitally hashed and secured with tamper-proof records for immutable proof.

What standards does NaturaLedger support?

NaturaLedger is architecture-native for Verra VCS, Gold Standard, and Article 6 ITMO. The workflow is standard-agnostic with parameterised configurations. Supported methodologies include VM0048, VM0047, VM0033, VM0042 (Verra) and GS4GG (Gold Standard).

Where does NaturaLedger operate?

NaturaLedger manages projects in Central Africa (Community Forest, 100,000 ha REDD+), Amazon Basin (Reforestation Program, 70,000 ha ARR), and Southeast Asia (Tropical Forest Conservation, 100,000 ha). Target countries include Madagascar, Gabon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Morocco.

Business Model

NaturaLedger operates a dual-engine revenue model: recurring SaaS subscriptions ($1-5/ha based on module tier) plus transaction-based revenues (10-20% commission on credit issuance and sales). Additional revenue from escrow management fees for DFI financing.

Compliance

The platform enforces 18 non-negotiable compliance flags covering Verra VCS, Gold Standard, Article 6, FPIC, buffer pools, registry restrictions, and community safeguards. Key constraints include: PDD self-approval prohibition, MRV independence requirement (VM0048), mandatory buffer pool deductions (NPRT), and double counting prevention.

Platform Modules

  1. AI Feasibility Engine — Analyzes 9 dimensions (eligibility, baseline, carbon potential, governance, risk, etc.) and delivers GO/NO-GO decisions with expert-reviewed feasibility reports.
  2. Digital MRV — 3 modes: Continuous (satellite + ranger patrols), Campaign-based (field sampling + lab analysis), Production (manufacturing logs + feedstock tracking). All evidence uses tamper-proof hashing and is digitally secured with immutable records.
  3. Certification & Registry — AI-assisted PDD generation. Integrated VVB portal. Multi-registry submission tracking. Supports Verra VCS, Gold Standard, Article 6 ITMO, CORSIA, CBAM.
  4. Community Impact & Automated Payments — Configurable benefit sharing enforced by automated rules. Payments via Orange Money, MTN, Flutterwave, PIX. 10-step impact tracking. SDG auto-mapping.

Projects

Target: 4 million hectares by 2030. Expansion markets: Madagascar, Gabon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Morocco.
