Neftaly Remote Sensing Contributions to SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy through Forest Biomass Mapping
Turning Forest Data into Sustainable Energy Solutions
Access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy is a global priority—captured under Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7). In many rural and developing regions, forest biomass remains a critical source of energy for heating and cooking. However, unsustainable harvesting can lead to deforestation, ecosystem degradation, and increased carbon emissions.
Neftaly’s Remote Sensing Program supports SDG 7 by applying advanced technologies to map, monitor, and manage forest biomass, ensuring its use as a renewable and clean energy source while protecting forest ecosystems.

???? What Is Forest Biomass?
Forest biomass refers to organic material—such as trees, branches, and underbrush—that can be converted into bioenergy. When harvested sustainably and monitored effectively, it becomes a low-emission energy source that can support clean cooking, heating, and even power generation in off-grid areas.

????️ Neftaly’s Remote Sensing Capabilities for Biomass Mapping
Biomass Estimation with Satellite Imagery
Use multispectral and radar data (Sentinel-1, Landsat, GEDI LiDAR) to assess vegetation density, tree height, and canopy volume for accurate biomass calculations.
Aboveground Carbon Stock Mapping
Measure and monitor carbon stored in forest biomass to support energy planning and carbon credit programs.
Change Detection & Harvest Monitoring
Track land cover changes and biomass extraction patterns to prevent overharvesting and promote sustainable use.
Spatial Energy Resource Planning
Identify high-potential areas for community-scale biomass energy projects while avoiding ecologically sensitive zones.

⚡ How This Supports SDG 7 Goals
SDG 7 Target Neftaly’s Contribution
7.1: Universal access to modern energy Supports decentralized, biomass-based energy in rural areas
7.2: Increase share of renewable energy Promotes biomass as a renewable energy option when sustainably managed
7.A: Promote energy infrastructure in developing countries Provides data for planning clean biomass energy systems

???? Key Deliverables
Forest Biomass Density Maps
Renewable Biomass Potential Reports
Biomass Change Detection Tools
Carbon Stock and Energy Yield Estimates
Interactive Energy Resource Maps for Planners

???? Benefits of Our Approach
✅ Sustainable Energy Planning
Inform energy projects that balance demand, environmental protection, and regeneration.
✅ Climate-Smart Resource Use
Prevent overharvesting and degradation through real-time monitoring.
✅ Supports Green Jobs & Local Economies
Enable rural energy enterprises that rely on data-informed biomass supply chains.
✅ Integrated with SDG Monitoring
Generate geospatial indicators for SDG 7, SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

????️ Use Cases
National and local energy planning
Sustainable forest management programs
Renewable energy development agencies
Rural electrification and clean cooking initiatives
Climate finance and carbon offset verification

???? Neftaly in Practice
In 2025, Neftaly partnered with a rural development agency in Southern Africa to assess biomass potential in degraded woodland areas. Remote sensing data guided the setup of small-scale biomass energy units for clean cooking, reducing dependency on unsustainable wood harvesting and improving air quality for over 10,000 households.

???? Partner With Neftaly
Whether you’re planning renewable energy projects, managing forest resources, or tracking SDG progress—Neftaly’s biomass mapping solutions help you power change with precision.
