Imagine using bees as tiny environmental inspectors. By combining smart beehives, sound-sensing microphones, and satellite images, the system tracks how healthy nature is in a specific area. It then turns these real-world improvements into certified credits that companies can use to prove they are helping the planet.
Corporations struggle to accurately measure and prove their positive impact on biodiversity for ESG reporting. Current monitoring is often manual, slow, and lacks a standardized certification for biodiversity credits.
The FLORA platform for satellite and IoT data integration and the Element-E Protocol for certified biodiversity credit assessment.
If you are a large corporation dealing with strict ESG reporting requirements — this project developed the Element-E Protocol that provides certified biodiversity credits to improve brand positioning and transparency.
If you are a grower dealing with declining pollinator populations — this project developed the FLORA platform and IoT sensors that measure nectar potential and insect diversity to generate new revenue via biodiversity credits.
If you are a consultant dealing with the need for scalable land assessments — this project developed AI-driven land cover classification with 60-70% accuracy to monitor 10,910 hectares across multiple sites.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not mentioned; however, the system generates Biodiversity Credits for corporations to meet ESG needs.
Yes, the methodology is scalable by using data from installed in-field sensors to assess biodiversity in much larger territories through AI algorithms.
The project uses the Element-E Protocol certified by Bureau Veritas and is initiating a UNI reference standard (PdR) for certification.
The FLORA platform provides MSA calculations aligned with ESRS standards and follows ISO standards via the Element-E protocol.
The UNI reference standard (PdR) was presented at Ecomondo 2024, with official approval expected in 2024.
The project is led by a single Italian SME, 3BEE SRL, representing a 100% industry-driven approach. This lean structure suggests a high focus on commercial viability and rapid deployment rather than academic research, leveraging a network of 4,000 practitioners to validate their technology.
