NbS Project Screening
Screen nature-based project eligibility and carbon impact potential in minutes with methodology-aligned results.
Space Intelligence’s NbS Project Screening tool delivers methodology-aligned eligibility checks and screening-grade carbon impact estimates, without the need for expert-level geospatial analyst resources.
Purpose-built for speed and ease of use, it lets you get answers in minutes, store and export results, and move projects through screening faster to scale your NbS program.
Get project eligibility results in minutes, not days
Simply upload or draw any project boundary, choose your methodology, and see estimate’s of your project’s eligibility almost instantly.
Current & Historic Land Use Requirements
Our tool has been built to be methodology-aligned, allowing you to assess and calculate eligible area against a range of methodologies. Initial methodologies will include VM0048, VM0047, and VM0010.
Overlapping Projects
We cross reference your uploaded project boundary against other AFOLU project boundaries from a range of registries. See key details such as project I.D., type, status and more to identify which projects overlap.
Global Screening
Checks are run using our screening-grade land cover, deforestation, and above-ground biomass layer at 30m resolution that maximises availability and accuracy of results.
Estimate and model potential carbon impact
Quickly see a project’s potential carbon impact over its lifetime to confirm it qualifies for further diligence.
Model performance by adjusting key inputs specific to your project type, like growth rates, logging plans, and more.
REDD (VM0048)
Carbon impact is calculated in line with the risk-based approach of VM0048, incorporating Verra produced baselines where available. Independent deforestation risk maps produced by Space Intelligence are available in select countries to support broader screening.
ARR (VM0047) (COMING SOON)
IFM (VM0010) (COMING SOON)
Streamline reporting and communication to stakeholders
Access, recall, and compare projects in a centralised repository, and easily export project results to share with team members and stakeholders.
Portfolio View
Easily see all screened projects in one place to support access and knowledge-sharing. Aggregate projects to see their total combined carbon impact over a time period.
Project Export
Easily export results as a PDF or CSV to share with stakeholders or use in other due diligence and feasibility models.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
The NbS Screening tool is licensed on a per-country basis, with screening of all methodologies available within your licensed countries. The yearly subscription includes unlimited users and number of screening projects. Speak to us for pricing based on your needs.
What datasets are used in the tool?
To carry out eligibility checks and carbon stock estimations, we use our Global Harmonised Layers dataset: a global coverage dataset that combines the strengths of 18 of the best open-source maps across land cover, above-ground biomass and deforestation layers, enhanced by our mapping expertise.
For production of avoided deforestation under VM0048, we ingest Verra’s provisional allocated deforestation risk maps where available.
What countries are available for screening?
Our NbS Project Screening tool is currently available for REDD+ projects with Risk Map availability to allow for the calculation of a baseline.
As of Q3-25 this includes Brazilian states of Para and Mato Grosso, as well as Indonesia and Tanzania. Where a Verra baseline is not available, Space Intelligence can produce an independent deforestation risk map to support project impact estimations.
ARR and IFM project screening will be available globally in Q4-25.
