Planet’s New 3-Meter Forest Carbon Monitoring Data Coming Soon to Lens
We’re thrilled to share that Planet’s groundbreaking 3-meter Forest Carbon Monitoring dataset will soon be available in Lens! This AI-powered dataset is the first to offer precise, quarterly measurements of canopy height, canopy cover, and aboveground carbon stocks across the globe at 3-meter resolution. Whether you're managing a small conservation area or monitoring a vast forest region, this dataset will provide unmatched visibility and insights for tracking forest growth, health, and carbon dynamics.
Why this dataset matters:
Planet’s Forest Carbon Monitoring data is designed to meet the increasing demands of today’s voluntary carbon markets, as well as supporting regulatory compliance initiatives, like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). It offers a detailed and scalable solution to track forest changes at an unprecedented resolution. Gone are the days of relying on patchy data or expensive on-the-ground measurements—this 3-meter dataset, updated quarterly, offers a cost-effective alternative to track everything from individual trees to large-scale deforestation.
Planet's 3-meter Forest Carbon Monitoring product will be priced to offer broad access while delivering deep, scientifically rigorous insights powered by machine learning models trained on satellite and LiDAR data. It will fully complement Planet's existing 30-meter forest carbon dataset by providing users with a sharper, more granular understanding of changing forest conditions, including smaller-scale disturbances like thinning or degradation, which may not be visible in lower-resolution data.
Who will benefit:
This dataset is a game-changer for anyone working in forest carbon monitoring, compliance, or climate action. It’s especially useful for those managing or investing in carbon projects that require accurate and frequent updates on forest conditions. Companies subject to the EU’s new deforestation rules can use this data to meet compliance requirements, and carbon market stakeholders can gain better insight into the performance of carbon credits and project integrity. With its quarterly updates and global coverage, this dataset will also allow governments, NGOs, and corporations to track progress towards forest conservation goals and climate commitments with unprecedented accuracy.
What’s next:
Planet has officially announced this product, and it will be available in Lens soon as we integrate it into the Library.
