Carbon project intelligence

From project idea to
verified credits, streamlined.

Carbon Atlas reads your project and runs the whole pre-verification path: methodology fit, eligibility, additionality, and a credit estimate, straight through to a registry-submittable PDD. Fully cited, validator-ready, in one workflow.

// Our vision

Building a carbon project is hard enough.
Proving it shouldn't have to be.

Turning real climate work into recognized impact means proving it, line by line. Every decision and every value has to be backed by a citation a validator can follow, which takes months of specialist effort.

Carbon Atlas does that groundwork as software. It automates what can be automated, drafts what needs judgement, and traces every result back to its source, so the impact holds up to a validator. We're building this pre-verification layer for Saudi Arabia's growing carbon market, helping developers, consultancies, and registries spend less time proving good projects qualify, and more time bringing them to market.

// How it works

Qualify, Assess, Quantify, Document

Carbon Atlas guides every project through four phases, from first screening to a registry-ready PDD, testing eligibility at every step so problems surface early, not after months of work.

01Qualify
ScreeningGeography, sector, scale and baseline, read from your documents.
Methodology recommendationBest-fit methodologies, ranked with a clear rationale.
02Assess
AdditionalityPick the right test, add evidence, run the assessment.
Baseline scenarioThe no-project counterfactual, from auditable sources.
03Quantify
QuantificationCredit potential from published formulas, every figure cited.
Monitoring planParameters, frequency and owners for the crediting period.
04Document
PDD draftingYour Project Design Document, drafted section by section.
Validator handover & exportA registry-ready document plus a full audit trail.
// Built for the Saudi workflow

Built for the Saudi workflow:
methodologies, registries, industries

Carbon Atlas is structured around the projects the Kingdom actually runs, the registries it submits to, and the methodologies that apply. GCOM, Saudi Arabia's national crediting mechanism, sits alongside Verra and Gold Standard, with KSA-aware defaults throughout our knowledge base.
