Climate/Carbon Accounting Spatial Pipelines

Build, automate, and validate satellite-driven carbon accounting and MRV systems — from raw imagery to audit-ready emissions inventories.

A technical resource for spatial MRV automation

Modern carbon accounting has moved from spreadsheets into distributed, spatially explicit data pipelines. Spatial Pipeline Engineering is a practitioner-focused resource for engineering those pipelines: deterministic geospatial processing, rigorous uncertainty quantification, and cryptographically verifiable audit trails that meet institutional standards.

Written for ESG engineers, climate data scientists, and Python GIS teams, every guide pairs production-ready code with the compliance context behind it — GHG Protocol scoping, ISO 14064, CSRD, and the registry workflows that turn satellite observations into defensible inventories.

The library is organized into four sections covering the full lifecycle: designing MRV architecture, processing satellite imagery for emissions tracking, modeling and validating carbon stocks, and orchestrating and governing the pipelines that tie them together — schema contracts, workflow orchestration, and registry standards. Pick a section below to dive in.
