Industry Problem

Creature aims to solve the challenges of accurately monitoring and verifying low-carbon farming practices in rice paddies to improve the quality and trustworthiness of carbon credits. It also addresses the difficulty companies face in measuring and reducing emissions in their supply chains.

R&D Focus

Creattura’s area of Research and Development focuses on developing digital monitoring and verification (MRV) systems using satellite remote sensing and AI to improve carbon credit quality in rice farming and agriculture. They specialize in the niche segment of carbon footprint reduction and climate impact measurement for sustainable agriculture, particularly through innovative technologies that enable precise water management, methane emission monitoring, and Scope 3 emissions reduction in supply chains.

Innovative Solution

Creattura’s solution, Lynx, is a digital MRV platform that uses satellite remote sensing and AI to monitor water management and methane emissions in rice paddies. By providing accurate, real-time data, it replaces manual tracking and enables the generation of certified carbon credits. This helps companies reduce their Scope 3 emissions and promotes sustainable, low-carbon farming practices across the supply chain.

Solution Effectiveness

Creattura’s Lynx platform monitors mid-drainage and AWD water management in rice paddies using satellite remote sensing, enabling precise measurement of methane reduction for each field. This supports generating higher-quality carbon credits compliant with international standards such as Verra VM0253, giving farmers data to sustainably increase rice shipping prices while helping companies reduce Scope 3 emissions from raw materials. The platform’s continuous, data-driven monitoring promotes wider adoption of low-carbon farming, enhancing environmental protection across the supply chain.

Product

– Lynx dMRV – A digital MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) platform that uses satellite remote sensing and AI to monitor Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) drainage events in rice fields. It replaces manual farmer journals, reduces monitoring costs, and ensures accurate tracking of methane emission reductions for carbon credit generation. – Lynx for Insetting – Enables companies purchasing rice to measure and reduce Scope 3 Category 1 emissions by tracking emissions reductions from dried rice and related distribution data. It helps farmers sustainably increase rice prices and promotes low-carbon agricultural techniques throughout the supply chain. – Satellite Remote Sensing Services for Agriculture – Provides farmers with frequent, objective satellite data support for crop identification, yield forecasting, irrigation status, soil moisture monitoring, and field boundary detection to optimize farming practices. – Carbon Credit Calculation System (Digital MRV) – A system under development that leverages satellite data and AI to calculate carbon credits for rice paddies by monitoring water levels and emissions reductions throughout the year. – Customer Reviews – NA

Star Product

Lynx dMRV is the star product because it uniquely combines satellite remote sensing and AI to digitally and objectively monitor Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) events in individual rice paddies. Its patented technology significantly reduces the manual effort and costs involved in collecting farmer data, while ensuring rigorous compliance and additionality verification for carbon credit projects. This innovative approach makes it a cutting-edge solution for scalable, reliable methane emission reduction monitoring in rice farming.
