How it works
Data built from the ground up
Any time land conversion is observed from space, Orbae attributes it to the right commodity. Field per field.
01. Orbae starts with billions of data points from satellite imagery that show land cover over the past 20 years.
02. It examines the globe in 30-meter pixels, recording changes in land use over time.
03. Pixel by pixel across a 20-year history, Orbae calculates the greenhouse gas emissions for individual agricultural commodities, accounting for the carbon stocks of each ecosystem.
04. Orbae automatically combines the emissions to any area of interest, whether a farm, sourcing region, municipality, state or country.
All crops.
Anywhere in the world.
Any level of traceability.
All types of land conversion.
This is our ambition for Orbae.
It’s a work in progress, but we’re well on our way there.
We’re prioritizing the commodities that are well-known drivers of deforestation, then expanding to others.
