Space Intelligence
Space Intelligence provides high-accuracy nature mapping data derived from satellite observations.
BeZero Carbon
BeZero Carbon operates a ratings agency that evaluates carbon offset projects.
The Edinburgh-based NatureTech firm raised Series A backing from AzurX Space Ventures and Intercontinental Exchange to expand its global forest mapping catalogue.
"To address the dual climate and biodiversity crises, it’s critical that investment in forest conservation and restoration scales through mechanisms such as the carbon markets and that compliance with legislation like the EU Deforestation Regulation is ensured,"
The funding round was led by Quantum Energy Partners with participation from corporate and existing investors to support global expansion.
"We have a once in a generation opportunity to build environmental and ecological restoration into the heart of the economic model. Starting with carbon, effective ecosystem markets have huge potential to accelerate the Net Zero transition and generate economic prosperity. Developing the information infrastructure that allows these markets to take off is fundamental to their growth. The raise will ensure we can continue to invest in our ratings, risk and analytics tools to make this vision a reality."
