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
