Carbon Accounting

Mitti Labs uses satellite monitoring and field data to support carbon accounting for methane-reduction projects in rice farming.

Business impact

• Carbon credits purchased — Google agreed to purchase 1 million carbon credits from Mitti Labs.
• Programme area at peak delivery — The programme is expected to span more than 100,000 hectares at peak delivery.
• Water savings — The partnership could reach 1.5 trillion litres of cumulative water savings by 2030.
• Near-term warming impact — Mitti Labs says the partnership could eliminate 3 million tonnes of near-term warming impact on a 20-year basis.

Data requirements

• High-resolution radar imagery (image) — Used to monitor rice fields across individual plots.
• Field-collected data (tabular) — Combined with imagery to support carbon accounting.

AI methods and techniques

• GeoAI — Mitti Labs uses its GeoAI platform to combine spatial monitoring with field data for carbon accounting.
• Satellite monitoring — The system monitors rice fields remotely across the project area.
