How advanced fire monitoring helps reduce threats and drive higher carbon ratings

Learn how proactive fire resilience measures can translate into higher project ratings, stronger market positioning, and greater long-term value.

For carbon developers

Protect your carbon credits from wildfire risks

This free whitepaper outlines how forward-thinking carbon developers are using satellite technology and predictive tools to protect credits, maintain certification, and secure investor trust.

Why this matters

Wildfires pose a major threat to nature-based carbon projects. As fires intensify, they are not only destroying ecosystems but also weakening the financial backbone of carbon markets.

Global carbon emissions

17% of global carbon emissions in 2024 came from wildfires — over 7 billion tonnes of CO₂, threatening the credibility of carbon markets.

High risk for peatlands

Peatlands store up to 20x more carbon than forests, but are highly fire-prone. Peat fires can burn underground for months, reversing years of sequestration.

A single fire = big impact

One wildfire can invalidate credits, cause rating downgrades, and shake investor confidence, especially without early mitigation.

Resilience drives ratings

BeZero and Sylvera now evaluate wildfire mitigation. Projects lacking resilience are penalized, while those with integrated fire strategies are rewarded with better ratings and buyer trust.

Summary

What’s inside the whitepaper

  • How satellite-powered detection reduced fire alerts from 90 minutes to under 10

  • A detailed case study from Indonesia’s Katingan Mentaya Project (AA rating by BeZero)

  • Best practices to integrate detection, predictive modeling, and community response

  • Why early mitigation is now essential for certification and long-term revenue

  • Specific recommendations for building climate-resilient carbon projects
