Chloris Geospatial

Chloris Geospatial is a climate technology company that provides science-based insights into forest carbon and ecosystem changes. The company was founded in 2021 by Marco Albani, Dr. Alessandro Baccini, Giulio Boccaletti, and Professor Mark Friedl. The founders' backgrounds merge forestry science, remote sensing technology, and business leadership in land use and natural capital. CEO Marco Albani and Chief Scientist Dr. Alessandro Baccini met in the 1990s as forestry students and their combined expertise forms the foundation of the company.

The company's core technology leverages satellite data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to measure above-ground biomass and its changes over time. This allows for the quantification of carbon stored in vegetation and the monitoring of emissions from deforestation and degradation, as well as carbon removals from restoration and reforestation. The platform provides data with global coverage, dating back to 2000, at spatial resolutions of 10 to 30 meters with quantified uncertainty for each pixel. This technology is based on over a decade of peer-reviewed research conducted at Boston University and the Woodwell Climate Research Center.

Chloris Geospatial serves two primary markets: corporate supply chains and carbon markets. Its clients include corporations, particularly in the Food, Land-Use, and Agriculture (FLAG) sectors, who use the data for emissions and removals accounting, climate reporting, and managing deforestation risk in their supply chains. In the carbon markets, project developers, standards bodies like Verra, credit buyers, and insurers utilize the data for due diligence, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of nature-based solutions projects. The business model operates as a software company, licensing its cloud-based platform and offering data products accessible via a web app, data licensing, or API.

The company has secured funding through several rounds, including a seed extension in March 2025 and an $8.5 million Series A round in July 2025 led by Future Energy Ventures, with participation from investors like AXA IM Alts, At One Ventures, and Orbia Ventures. This funding is aimed at accelerating product development, expanding its technical and commercial teams, and establishing a European hub to meet growing demand.
