Harnessing DMRV for Sustainable tomorrow

Sustained impact is rooted in consistent effort and accurate data. We’re committed to both at Grow Indigo, ensuring precision in everything we do.

Digital MRV (dMRV) is key to maintaining and continually improving the overall scientific rigour of our projects.

In carbon farming, every grain of soil represents a farmer’s dedication to climate action. However, turning this into reliable carbon credits has traditionally been complex due to the multidisciplinary aspects involved in GHG emission accounting.

Digital MRV simplifies GHG emission accounting by integrating advanced digital technologies. dMRV enables the measurement, reporting, and verification of environmental data more efficiently and accurately through our digital applications and biogeochemical modeling. Furthermore, using satellite imagery and geofencing highlights how these technologies refine our carbon farming processes and drive market growth.

Here’s how dMRV makes a difference:

Real-Time Monitoring: Real-time GHG emission (methane and nitrous oxide) data from enrolled agricultural fields is captured to offer precise insights into emissions from farmers’ fields. We also acquire satellite imagery data to integrate with emission data to understand climate impacts (e.g. irrigation, weather, and drought) on GHG emission fluxes in a particular field/geography.

Reporting: By employing biogeochemical modeling and precise quantification methodologies, we report accurate GHG emissions from agricultural fields before and after adopting regenerative practices. Our robust data collection system through digital applications enables accurate accounting of carbon credits for farmers (specific to the regenerative practice adopted).

Data Security: Grow Indigo’s software and product architecture strictly follow the guidelines provided by the carbon registries. Data security and confidentiality are ensured via Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and integrated workflows. Data availability is supported by data backups and dashboards. Data integrity is further maintained via strong data validation and QC, meticulously standardized methods, and audit trails. This ensures tamper-proof data records, increasing transparency and trust.

Supporting Climate Goals: We are continually improving the DMRV system to make it easier to track and verify the adoption of regenerative practices nationwide. This allows us to assess whether our projects align with national greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

Scaling Markets: By continuously refining our DMRV system, we aim to improve transparency and efficiency to help scale carbon farming projects, attract investment, and grow the carbon credit market.

According to the World Bank, dMRV systems are set to reduce costs, increase transparency, and expand access to carbon markets. As nations embrace technology for decarbonization, voluntary carbon markets might reduce NDC costs by $250 billion by 2030.
