We've partnered with Open Forest Protocol (OFP) to revolutionize carbon project verification by combining our AI-powered satellite analytics with their blockchain technology. This collaboration introduces dynamic baselining to replace outdated static models, enhancing accuracy and transparency in carbon markets. With applications across OFP's 280+ global projects, we're transforming how forest restoration initiatives are measured and credited worldwide.

Today, we're thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership that will significantly advance the integrity and transparency of carbon markets worldwide. Kanop is officially partnering with Open Forest Protocol (OFP), one of the world's leading digital quality standards for forest restoration and carbon credit generation.

A powerful combination of technologies

This strategic alliance brings together OFP's blockchain-based digital infrastructure and Kanop's AI-powered satellite intelligence to create a next-generation solution for the voluntary carbon market (VCM). Together, we're introducing a dynamic baseline approach with decentralized measurement, reporting, and verification (DMRV) to power large-scale carbon projects.

What makes this collaboration particularly exciting is how it addresses core challenges in today's carbon markets. By combining our advanced satellite analytics and dynamic baselining capabilities with OFP's blockchain transparency, we're creating a comprehensive suite of remote sensing-based data services that significantly improve the accuracy and integrity of carbon removal estimations.

Why this partnership matters

The voluntary carbon market has long struggled with reliability issues, particularly around baseline setting and verification. Static models simply don't account for the dynamic nature of ecosystems and environmental conditions. Our approach changes that fundamentally.

As our CEO Romain Fau shared during the announcement: "We believe in OFP's mission and are excited to support it with advanced satellite analytics and modeling. This partnership sets the tone for where digital MRV and carbon markets are heading."

With over 280 projects across more than 25 countries already using Open Forest Protocol, the impact of this partnership will be felt immediately by project developers, validators, and carbon buyers who will benefit from trustless, data-rich insights from seed to credit.

The technical breakthrough

At the heart of our partnership is the integration of Kanop's dynamic baseline approach with OFP's blockchain infrastructure. This combination allows for:

  • Continuous adjustment: Baselines that evolve based on real-time data and changing environmental conditions
  • Higher scientific rigor: Earth observation providing high-resolution data, analyzed by our AI models
  • End-to-end transparency: Blockchain verification that creates an immutable record of all measurements and changes

Frederic Fournier, OFP's co-founder and CEO, noted that: "Implementing dynamic baseline protocols represents a significant leap forward in the integrity and credibility of carbon credits generated through the OFP platform. Integrating Kanop's dynamic baseline approach with our blockchain infrastructure addresses one of the most critical challenges in carbon markets today."

Looking ahead

This partnership marks an important milestone in Kanop's mission to build a world where Earth's natural ecosystems are understood, protected, and integrated sustainably into tomorrow's economy and society.

By providing more reliable and scientifically robust baselines, improving monitoring capabilities, and enhancing transparency in carbon credit generation, we're helping to build the trust necessary for carbon markets to scale effectively.

Stay tuned for more updates as we implement this groundbreaking collaboration!
