Advancing Digital Innovation for High-Integrity Climate and Nature Solutions

BioCarbon Standard, in partnership with Planet2050, is launching a Digital MRV (Monitoring, Reporting & Verification) Working Group to accelerate the integration of digital technologies into carbon, biodiversity and water certification.

The Working Group will bring together up to 10 individuals and organizations from across the carbon and nature-based solutions ecosystem to co-develop strategic recommendations for digital MRV (dMRV) adoption in the BioCarbon Standard.

dMRV and its importance to carbon and biodiversity markets

dMRV leverages cutting-edge technologies—such as satellites, sensors, AI, and blockchain—to streamline and enhance environmental data collection, reporting, and auditing. It helps increase accuracy, transparency, and efficiency while reducing costs.

How dMRV is key to BioCarbon Standard and project development

Methodology Improvement
dMRV enables data-driven design and automated compliance, making methodologies more accurate, current, and easier to update.

Project Screening & Approval
It accelerates feasibility assessments, improves risk identification, and ensures precise boundary verification using geospatial tools.

Data Management & Registry
dMRV supports secure, scalable data storage with blockchain-enabled traceability and interoperability across tools and platforms.

Validation & Audit
It simplifies verifier access, automates anomaly detection, and reduces time and cost of audits while boosting reliability and transparency.

dMRV Working Group Objectives

• Assess current MRV practices and identify integration opportunities
• Explore relevant digital technologies for BioCarbon's needs
• Define concrete pathways to embed dMRV in standards and project cycles
• Identify risks and mitigation strategies for digital adoption
• Develop a strategic, phased roadmap toward full dMRV integration by 2026

Working Group Structure and Commitment

The Working Group is a voluntary, contributor-based exercise.

Selected participants will be expected to actively engage in discussions, share their expertise, and contribute to the working group's deliverables.

• Format Virtual workshops.
• Frequency: 5 meetings over the period of September - November 2025.
• Size: 8-10 members as individual experts or representing their organization (e.g. MRV service provider)

Who can participate?

Technology providers, project developers, marketplaces, VVBs, financing institutions and individual experts interested in participating. Participants should be interested in contributing technical insights, identifying practical challenges, and shaping BioCarbon’s digital MRV roadmap
