Treefera secured $12M to bring transparency and accountability to nature data

Treefera is an AI-enabled data management platform that focuses on bringing transparency and accuracy to nature-based asset reporting. For example, Treefera's independent operations can provide a transparent and auditable end-to-end chain of custody for biochar production. As an emergent industry, biochar production is riddled with obstacles surrounding assessment processes and the provenance and accuracy of data for biomass harvest sites. Treefera's solution enables constant monitoring, risk evaluation, and assurance in a way that traditional data collection methods cannot. Monitoring for biochar projects includes biomass stock and carbon level assessments, granular analysis indicating individual trees with harvesting potential, and continuous AI-based auditing that flags anomalies to ensure integrity, independence, and control in the production process.

More generally, the platform integrates satellite, drone, and ground truth at scale and overlays cutting-edge AI algorithms to deliver continuous monitoring, assurance, and risk evaluation. Other relevant use cases include commodity provenance, carbon credits, risk of deforestation, carbon removal, and supply chain sustainability. A key differentiator from other industry methods is Treefera's immediacy, making Treefera the first platform to develop such a level of granularity and coverage at scale. The platform covers jurisdictions and 500+ registered forest projects and harvest sites, making this information available by integrating with customers' analytics via API access.

As an industry leader, Treefera has developed important partnerships with other leaders, including Anew, ACCIONA, and Maple Credits. Its $12 million Series A was led by AlbionVC, coming just seven months after Treefera's $2.2m pre-seed. The funding will empower Treefera to solidify its position as a leader by enabling it to advance its capabilities and expand its team worldwide.
