Company profile
researched Aug 2026CarbonCrop operates a forest restoration and forest carbon platform aimed at getting trees established on suitable land for climate resilience and carbon outcomes. The platform is presented across four use cases: landholders seeking to store carbon and be paid for it, catchment groups wanting to understand, protect and engage their catchment, forest restoration projects looking to scale delivery rather than administration, and supply chains seeking to unlock carbon removals.
Functionally, the product moves users from land-use insight to project activation. It provides a landscape-level view of land-use opportunities and carbon potential, allowing sites to be prioritised without fieldwork, identifies high-value opportunities, and supports targeted landholder engagement aligned with carbon incentives. It maps existing native forest, plans new planting areas, and auto-generates Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)-ready shapefiles and documentation together with evidence prepared for submission and audit. Planning is supported at both farm and landscape scale, with forecasting, re-forecasting and scenario planning to support strategic land-use change decisions. Collaboration features allow engagement to be scaled across large numbers of sites, with centralised opportunity and project tracking and shared mapping for project partners.
