But to participate in carbon markets, we need tools to do MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification). \n\nAt Lynx we are building a digital MRV solution for rice paddy methane reduction projects.  It leverages satellite remote sensing and machine learning to monitor the number of days a rice paddy field is flooded and compares it against a baseline to guarantee additionality. Further, the solution is based on the blockchain which provides unparalleled traceability so buyers of carbon credits can track GHG reduction back to the specific farm, field, and season. \n\nThank you for your consideration\n🙏", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "lynx-earth", "projectTwitter": "@lynxMRV"}
