What we did
Together with atmosfair, we developed the digital infrastructure for a negative emissions project in India, including data collection, GPS visualization, and automated data transmission to Carbon Standards International (CSI).
Project Goal
The aim of the project is to establish recognized real-time monitoring for transparent and measurable CO₂ certification through the production and application of biochar.
Special challenges
Data from over 60,000 households, varying monthly throughput and inventory levels, all this must be precisely recorded, linked, and kept up to date.
Monitoring requires regular, reliable data collection in remote villages, despite weak internet connections, lack of infrastructure, and limited digital experience among many participants.
Many project processes, such as charcoal collection or on-site quality control, are carried out manually. Integrating these analog steps into a centralized, digital real-time monitoring system requires complex interfaces and extensive training.
“Here our code helps the climate directly: every cleanly captured record makes carbon removal verifiable.”
Data flow from capture to certification
Data capture
A Project Participant captures the data directly on-site using KoBoToolbox. The inputs are then centrally stored and processed further.
Data verification and visualization
The data is automatically retrieved, validated, and then visualized in Metabase. The visual overview makes it easier to detect errors, enabling quick corrections and providing a transparent real-time overview.
Data transfer for certification
The data is retrieved from the central database, converted into the required format, and transferred to the CSI. This ensures seamless integration into downstream systems and processes.
Summary of the project
This project focuses on efficient data capture, verification, and visualization in remote areas. Data is automatically collected through forms, validated, and processed in a central real-time monitoring system. A robust system enables the integration of manual processes, such as coal collection and quality checks, into digital workflows. Automated data retrieval and visual preparation in Metabase ensure error-free and transparent data processing. The system enables seamless transfer of data to downstream systems, significantly increasing the efficiency and accuracy of project workflows.
