The Carbon Measurement Challenge
As carbon stock assessment scales from local projects to regional territories, organizations face mounting pressure to:
- Measure accurately across increasingly vast areas
- Reduce costs while maintaining data quality
- Deliver timely assessments to meet regulatory requirements
- Detect smaller vegetation features critical for precise carbon calculations
Key Findings from Our Comparison Study
Our analysis compared high-resolution commercial satellite imagery (Jilin-1) with freely available Sentinel-2 data:
- 28% increase in vegetation detection using Jilin-1’s 50cm resolution
- Individual tree crown identification versus only detecting larger vegetation clusters
- Significantly improved boundary accuracy for more precise carbon calculations
- Daily revisit capability compared to Sentinel-2’s 5-day revisit frequency
Cost-Effective Solution
At just $0.12 AUD per hectare, Jilin-1 imagery offers:
- ✅ 5-10x cost savings compared to traditional aerial or drone surveys
- ✅ Superior resolution to free satellite options (50cm vs 10m)
- ✅ Scalability across vast assessment territories
- ✅ No practical deployment limitations unlike drone surveys
