Strategic partnership introduces advanced dynamic baselining and AI-powered remote sensing to enhance transparency and credibility in digital carbon markets.
PARIS, FRANCE & ZUG, SWITZERLAND — April 23, 2025 Open Forest Protocol (OFP), one of the world’s leading digital quality standards for forest restoration and high integrity carbon credit generation, has partnered with Kanop, a leader in AI-powered satellite intelligence for nature-based solutions, to develop a next generation digital MRV solution for the voluntary carbon market (VCM).
Together, they will combine a dynamic baseline approach with decentralized measurement, reporting, and verification (DMRV) to power large-scale carbon projects into the future.
- OFP’s blockchain-based digital infrastructure will integrate Kanop’s cutting edge dynamic baseline capacity to improve the accuracy and integrity of carbon removal estimations for forest restoration, by adjusting baselines based on evolving data and environmental conditions- providing a major leap forward from static models.
- The OFP-KANOP alliance delivers end to end remote sensing services with the union of blockchain transparency and high resolution earth observation. A comprehensive suite of remote sensing-based data services can now be offered to large scale projects that are onboarded to the OFP platform..
- This partnership addresses key challenges facing the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), including the need for more reliable and scientifically robust baselines, improved monitoring capabilities, and enhanced transparency in carbon credit generation.
"Implementing dynamic baseline protocols represents a significant leap forward in the integrity and credibility of carbon credits generated through the OFP platform," said Frederic Fournier, OFP co-founder and CEO. "Integrating Kanop's dynamic baseline approach with our blockchain infrastructure addresses one of the most critical challenges in carbon markets today."
“We believe in OFP’s mission and are excited to support it with advanced satellite analytics and modeling,” added Romain Fau, CEO of KANOP. “This partnership sets the tone for where digital MRV and carbon markets are heading.”
With over 280 projects across 25+ countries already using Open Forest Protocol, this partnership significantly strengthens the scientific backbone of the platform- empowering project developers, validators, and carbon buyers with trustless, data-rich insights from seed to credit.
