Partner Ecosystem
SYNE Carbon's platform is built on a deep network of registry integrations, exchange connections, earth observation data, and technology infrastructure. These partnerships are the foundation of every independent rating and market data feed we produce.
Registry Integrations
Live API integrations with every major voluntary and compliance carbon registry — tracking issuances, retirements, and transfer events in real time, feeding directly into our ratings engine and market data infrastructure.
The world's largest voluntary carbon standard. SYNE Carbon rates 1,200+ VCS projects covering REDD+, ARR, soil carbon, cookstoves, and renewable energy. Full issuance and retirement tracking via live API.
Premium voluntary standard with rigorous co-benefit and SDG verification. SYNE Carbon's co-benefit scoring layer directly ingests Gold Standard's third-party verification data for SDG claim integrity assessment.
North America's leading voluntary carbon registry, with strong coverage of US forestry, agriculture, and landfill gas projects. Live pipeline and issuance tracking feeds SYNE's supply analytics.
Established North American registry with methodologies covering forest, livestock, ozone, and urban forestry. Key data source for SYNE's California market tracking and CORSIA-eligible credit identification.
Official registry for EU ETS allowances. SYNE integrates directly for Phase IV allocation tracking, surrender events, and Article 6 corresponding adjustment monitoring across the full compliance cycle.
Trading Venues
SYNE Carbon's trading infrastructure connects to all major voluntary and compliance carbon markets via a single API. Live order books, settlement data, and auction results feed directly into our market intelligence pricing layer.
Singapore-based digital carbon exchange enabling spot trading of tokenised carbon credits. SYNE Carbon's trading layer supports direct market access to ACX order books with embedded ratings data at the point of trade.
Global marketplace for high-quality carbon credits, co-founded by DBS, SGX, Standard Chartered, and Temasek. SYNE Carbon quality scores surface directly in CIX project listings and pre-trade data feeds.
Leading OTC electronic marketplace for spot and forward environmental commodity transactions. CBL Markets provides deep liquidity in nature-based and compliance credits with SYNE ratings embedded in trade workflows.
Largest spot market for voluntary carbon credits globally. Xpansiv's CBL and WSJ markets connect to SYNE Carbon's trading layer, enabling rated credit execution and registry-verified settlement at scale.
Primary exchange for EU ETS and UK ETS futures and options. SYNE Carbon's compliance market data layer integrates ICE price feeds, auction results, and open interest for EU ETS Dec, UK ETS, and CCA contracts.
CME Group's carbon futures — CCA, RGGI, and the GEO nature-based benchmark — feed into SYNE's compliance market pricing and forward curve modelling for California and North American markets.
Satellite & Earth Observation
SYNE Carbon's Earth Intelligence layer fuses data from eight satellite and earth observation sources. No single sensor covers the full spectrum of carbon project monitoring — our fusion approach combines optical, SAR, and thermal data at optimal revisit frequencies for each module.
Core optical satellite for vegetation monitoring, NDVI calculation, land-use change detection, and canopy health tracking. Primary source for forest carbon project monitoring at project-polygon resolution.
Synthetic Aperture Radar for all-weather, day-night forest monitoring. Critical for tropical project monitoring where cloud cover limits optical data. Primary sensor for above-ground biomass estimation.
Daily thermal anomaly detection and fire monitoring across all carbon project areas. MODIS Active Fire data feeds SYNE's permanence risk monitoring — near-real-time alerts for fire events affecting project carbon stocks.
Provides SYNE's historical baseline engine with land-use change data back to 1972. The Landsat archive underpins all additionality and historical reference period analysis — the longest continuous earth observation record available.
L-Band SAR penetrates dense forest canopy to provide above-ground biomass estimates in high-biomass tropical forests where C-Band SAR saturates. Critical for REDD+ projects in Amazon, Congo, and Southeast Asian forests.
High-resolution daily active fire detection supplementing MODIS. VIIRS's improved spatial resolution provides sub-pixel fire detection critical for accurate burned area estimation within carbon project boundaries.
Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation LiDAR from the ISS. Provides three-dimensional canopy structure data enabling precise above-ground biomass estimation independent of optical reflectance calibration.
Annual global land cover maps from ESA's Climate Change Initiative. Provides SYNE's land-use transition modelling with consistent historical land classification — underpinning additionality assessments and baseline construction.
Technology Infrastructure
SYNE Carbon's data platform is built on best-in-class geospatial, cloud, and data infrastructure. These technology partnerships give our platform the processing power and reliability that carbon market data demands.
Planetary-scale geospatial analysis infrastructure. Used for batch satellite data processing, historical time-series computation, and NDVI/biomass calculations across all 3,200+ rated project polygons globally.
Core cloud infrastructure for SYNE Carbon's ratings engine, market data platform, and API delivery layer. AWS global availability zones ensure sub-50ms API latency across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
The world's largest soil information database. ISRIC's WoSIS and SoilGrids datasets underpin SYNE Carbon's Soil Intelligence module — providing global soil organic carbon stock estimates and sequestration rate baselines.
Near-real-time global forest monitoring from World Resources Institute. GFW's Hansen dataset and GLAD alerts feed SYNE's deforestation detection and early-warning system for reversal risk assessment in forest projects.
Global carbon stock reference datasets including the Saatchi et al. tropical forest biomass map — providing independent AGB reference data for SYNE's biomass cross-validation methodology.
Administrative boundaries, protected area boundaries, and infrastructure layers for SYNE Carbon's leakage assessment module — enabling accurate market, activity, and ecological leakage boundary analysis at scale.
Finance Network
SYNE Carbon's Market Gateway connects project developers to a curated network of impact funds, development finance institutions, green banks, and carbon project finance specialists — matched by project type, geography, and quality rating.
Dedicated carbon project impact funds providing forward offtake financing, pre-purchase agreements, and blended finance for projects rated A or above on the SYNE scale.
Development Finance Institutions and multilateral funds providing concessional capital and grant co-financing for projects in least developed countries and high-biodiversity landscapes.
National and regional green banks offering debt financing, guarantees, and revenue participation structures for carbon projects in developed markets with clear regulatory frameworks.
Specialist carbon project finance advisors providing transaction advisory, due diligence support, and offtake negotiation services to project developers in the Gateway network.
Partnership Enquiries
We partner with organisations that share our commitment to rigorous, transparent carbon market infrastructure. We are actively expanding our registry, exchange, data, and finance partner network.
Whether you're a registry, exchange, data provider, or finance partner — we'd like to talk about how SYNE Carbon's independent ratings and market data can strengthen your platform.
