Remote sensing for mapping forest carbon sequestration rates.

Neftaly | Remote Sensing for Mapping Forest Carbon Sequestration Rates
Quantifying Nature’s Climate Engine—From Space
Forests remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year, acting as critical carbon sinks in the fight against climate change. But to fully understand their climate value, we must not only know how much carbon they store—but how much they are actively sequestering. Neftaly uses advanced remote sensing technologies to accurately map and monitor forest carbon sequestration rates over space and time, empowering governments, conservationists, and carbon project developers with actionable climate intelligence.

Our Remote Sensing Approach to Carbon Sequestration Mapping
???? Satellite-Based Biomass and Productivity Monitoring
Neftaly integrates multispectral (Sentinel-2, Landsat) and LiDAR data (GEDI, ICESat-2) to assess above-ground biomass growth, canopy structure, and vegetation productivity—key proxies for carbon uptake.
???? Gross and Net Primary Productivity Modeling (GPP & NPP)
We analyze vegetation indices such as NDVI, EVI, and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to model photosynthetic activity and estimate how much carbon is fixed from the atmosphere.
???? Growth Rate Analysis Over Time
By comparing biomass estimates across multiple time points, Neftaly calculates carbon accumulation rates—distinguishing fast-growing, high-sequestration areas from degraded or stagnant forests.
???? AI and Machine Learning for Enhanced Accuracy
Our models are trained on regional ecological data, elevation, climate, and soil information to improve the precision of sequestration rate estimates across forest types and geographies.
???? Sequestration Mapping and Scenario Forecasting
Neftaly produces spatial maps of annual sequestration rates and simulates how future land use or climate conditions may impact forest carbon uptake potential.
