Why now
The EU has adopted a certification framework for carbon removals (CRCF). Buyers and auditors are asking for measured, not modelled, forest numbers, and Nordic states already publish national laser-scan forest data for free.
Approach · why BioEquify
Forest carbon has a trust problem. We measure our way out.
BioEquify is a small, open measurement layer for Nordic forest carbon, built by a founder in Stavanger on free national laser data. Pre-launch, pre-revenue, and honest about both.
The gap
Forest carbon has a trust problem: projects promise future removals, verification comes late, and uncertainty is rarely shown. Cooperatives sit on member data they cannot easily turn into reports.
Our bet
A small, open measurement layer: national laser data in, portfolio stock and change out, every number with a source, a date and a test. Useful as a data service before any regulator signs off on a method.
Agenda for sustainable development
Three goals we can serve. Nothing we cannot.
SDG-washing is the easy version of this page. We list only the goals measurement directly supports, and next to each one, what we do not claim.
13Sustainable Development Goal
Climate Action
Forest carbon measured with honest uncertainty, so climate claims rest on numbers a regulator and an auditor can check.
What we do not claimWe do not sell offsets or declare anyone carbon neutral.
15Sustainable Development Goal
Life on Land
We lead with drained peatland forest and afforestation, and never reward clear-cutting or penalise set-aside forest.
What we do not claimWe do not measure biodiversity yet, and we do not claim to.
12Sustainable Development Goal
Responsible Consumption and Production
Contribution-only claims and a public claims register make corporate climate reporting auditable, not aspirational.
What we do not claimWe do not certify products or supply chains.

Built the core, the claims register and the number guard. Not a forest scientist, which is why a forest-science co-founder is milestone one.
