Real-time soil intelligence
Carbon Asset Solutions provides land managers with real-time soil intelligence to sustainably optimise the land’s health and productivity. Powered by innovative Mobile INS (Inelastic Neutron Scattering) technology, CAS delivers unrivalled accuracy. The MINS unit scans the field in-situ and uploads data in real-time in the cloud. The CAS software processes the data immediately to visualise different soil characteristics (incl. soil carbon, moisture, and texture) in comprehensive maps.
Measured at the atomic level our accuracy is 80% higher than traditional soil sampling. GPS-tracked and uploaded in secure ledgers, the data integrity, transparency and security are guaranteed. As a result, you receive data of high quality and quantity, at high speed and low cost. By having convenient access to accurate and integer soil intelligence, you can sustainably enhance the land’s productivity while lowering input costs and uncertainties. Added bonus: if you participate in the CAS carbon program, you can turn additional sequestered soil carbon in carbon credits.
