Technology and Research Partnerships
We collaborate with universities, laboratories and innovators to create advanced climate solutions, including satellite-based MRV, artificial intelligence verification tools, blockchain-ready registries and digital climate modelling systems.
Climate markets are only as strong as the science and technology that underpin them. Better data, faster verification and more transparent records can raise the quality of every credit and lower the cost of delivering it. We work with research institutions and technology innovators to turn promising ideas into tools that can be tested, validated and used in real projects and national systems.
Our partnerships connect scientific rigour with practical application. Research is shaped by the needs of governments, project developers and buyers, and findings are translated into solutions that strengthen the integrity of carbon markets.
Our Focus Areas
Satellite-Based MRV
We work with partners to use satellite imagery and remote sensing to monitor forest cover, land use change, biomass, coastal ecosystems and project boundaries. This improves coverage and consistency, reduces the need for costly field visits and supports independent checking of project claims.
Artificial Intelligence Verification Tools
We develop and test AI methods that help analyse large datasets, detect anomalies, flag inconsistencies and support verifiers. These tools are designed to assist expert judgement, not replace it, with clear documentation of how results are produced.
Blockchain Ready Registries
We design registry architecture that can be integrated with distributed ledger technology where it adds value, such as improved traceability, secure records and interoperability between systems. Our registries are built to work with or without it, depending on what a programme or country requires.
Digital Climate Modelling Systems
We help countries prepare to engage in international cooperation under Article 6, including establishing authorisation procedures, tracking transfers of mitigation outcomes, applying corresponding adjustments and developing bilateral agreements.
How We Collaborate
Joint research
We work with academic and scientific partners on methods, validation studies and peer-reviewed evidence.
Pilot projects
New tools are tested in real project and national settings before wider rollout.
Technology development
We partner with innovators and developers to build, refine and integrate solutions into our MRV, registry and rating work.
Capacity building
We share findings, train practitioners and help partners understand the needs of climate markets.

From Research to Real-World Impact
Our partnerships feed directly into the rest of the Synsta offering:
- Monitoring, Reporting and Verification frameworks strengthened by satellite and digital tools
- Carbon Registry Infrastructure that is secure, transparent and future ready
- High Integrity Carbon Credit Rating informed by the latest scientific evidence
- National Climate Infrastructure Development supported by proven, scalable technology
Our Principles
- Scientific rigour: methods are tested, validated and documented
- Transparency: approaches are open to review and clearly explained
- Practicality: solutions are designed for real project conditions, including low-data environments
- Responsible innovation: technology serves integrity, accessibility and local ownership
- Open collaboration: we build with partners rather than around them
Frequently Asked Questions
We work with universities, research institutes, laboratories, technology developers and public bodies working on climate science and digital solutions.
No. AI tools support verifiers by processing data at scale and highlighting issues for review. Final judgement remains with qualified experts.
No. They are blockchain-ready, meaning they can integrate distributed ledger technology where it is useful, but they do not depend on it.
Remote sensing outputs are checked against ground measurements and tested against recognised methods, so results are accurate and defensible.
Yes. We welcome proposals from institutions and innovators whose work could improve climate measurement, verification or market integrity.
Arrangements depend on the partnership. Terms for intellectual property, data and publication are agreed upfront with each partner.
