Satelligence, a company that uses remote sensing technology to help companies improve sustainability efforts within their supply chains, uses GEDI data to quantify scope 3 emissions.  This is one example of the many practical applications of GEDI data.

“Carbon stock estimates and spatially explicit maps, repeated in time, are essential for consistently and correctly quantifying emissions related to land use change, but how does a company actually make use of this information? The key is to intersect several datasets together. With our supply chain models and linkages, Satelligence helps agricultural companies pinpoint source locations for the commodities that they buy. We match that against our highly curated deforestation dataset, which stores the date and location of when and where forest was converted to bare ground . Once we detect deforestation events in a company’s sourcing areas, we can calculate the generated emissions from our carbon map.”
