Market-building research
Pioneering research into what’s needed for effective markets in environmental assets.
Big views, bigger insights
To keep a constant eye on project performance, we partner with leaders in Earth imaging, including the operator of the world’s largest constellation of satellites, Planet. No other ratings agency leverages data at this scale.
Our views from space are complemented by extensive ground truth data from local research partners, giving us unparalleled forest carbon data.

New measurements, new assets
Biodiversity credits could help protect and restore nature. Our in-house team are pioneering eDNA trials with global partners to find new ways to measure and assess biodiversity.
Research partnerships
Removing barriers, removing carbon
Scaling engineered carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies is crucial to the net zero transition, but the sector remains expensive and opaque.
Our research focuses on disclosure, scalability and durability, to remove barriers to investment in this frontier sector.
Better disclosure, better markets
Working with carbon credit project developers and registries, including community-based projects and those supporting rural organisations, to produce guidance and improve disclosure standards in the voluntary carbon market.
Know the claims, know their benefits
Carbon projects can channel investment into co-benefits beyond carbon, like local communities and biodiversity, but the inconsistent use of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework has created patchy data and hard to verify claims. Our research provides the map needed to navigate SDG and co-benefit impacts.
Artificial intelligence, market intelligence
AI has a role to play in the fight against climate change. BeZero's ratings analysts, geospatial experts and data scientists harness cutting edge techniques such as generative AI and machine learning to drive standardisation in carbon markets, and complement project-level analysis.
