Sylvera

Sylvera provides independent ratings, data, and tools for buyers and participants in the voluntary carbon market, aiming to bring the kind of rigor to carbon credits that credit rating agencies bring to bonds. Its analysts combine satellite imagery, machine learning, on-the-ground data, and policy analysis to assess carbon projects across forestry, renewable energy, cookstoves, and other categories, publishing ratings that score a project's real climate impact, permanence, and risk of over-crediting. Customers use the platform to screen projects before buying, build and monitor a portfolio of credits over time, benchmark prices, and generate documentation for internal and external reporting on the quality of the offsets they have purchased. Sylvera also publishes market research, including an annual State of Carbon Credits report, and pricing indices that track how higher-rated credits command premiums. Its customers include large corporate buyers, carbon project developers, financial institutions, and governments that want defensible evidence behind carbon credit decisions amid widespread scrutiny of offset quality. Sylvera is sold as a paid enterprise subscription, with access to ratings, the project database, portfolio monitoring, and analytics tools priced according to usage and the depth of data required. The company has raised substantial venture funding and expanded its coverage across removal, avoidance, and jurisdictional project types as demand for credible offset data has grown.
