Benefits

Single Platform Drives Carbon Market Volume

All participants in the carbon market from developers to originators, regulators, traders, warehousers, and clearing/settlement providers can now access all carbon project data. With a single platform you are part of a community of carbon market players where data interchange activity finally exists. This dynamic drives market volume and profitability.

Data You Can Trust

With SADAR™ platform’s technology and immutable database, all carbon activity (with inherent geospatial physical profiles and issuance) data is available, accessible and auditable – changes are appended, never altered or deleted. With this digital chain of custody in place and Laconic’s data pedigree engine covering 14 key elements and 58-sub elements, you can be assured that reference data is validated and checked for its latest updates.

SADAR™ NCM features LUCID™ – the world’s first serialization of carbon instruments – enabling institutional trading, robust compliance protocols, and secondary market transactions.

SADAR™ NCM enables large-scale comparison and synthesis of related, yet geospatially, methodologically, or jurisdictionally distinct, data sets. The data enables computational analysis supporting secondary market transactions and allows you to publish benchmarks and indices.

Synthetic Inventories / Baskets / Indices

SADAR™ NCM’s unique ability to create synthetic inventories of carbon allows institutional-scale (>1MM tons) blocks to be created, supporting healthy and robust large-scale trading of carbon instruments. Originators, Traders, and Carbon Warehousers can organize, monitor, and track positions, holdings, and custom baskets.

View current carbon pricing, historical retirements, and other key market indicators in real-time.

Key Features

Laconic Universal Carbon Identifier (LUCID)

The industry’s first ever globally harmonized record of carbon credit issuance. LUCID™ is a unique identifier code that references and binds each carbon credit to the unique geospatial data, physical provenance information, jurisdictional compliance confirmations, and additionality activity that gives rise to a “carbon credit” (similar to how an ISIN is a globally harmonized identifier for financial securities e.g. stocks and bonds).

LUCID™ creates a unique 1:1 relationship between the dynamic extents, stocks, conditions, and flows of carbon over time and its issuance – allowing for its provenance to be preserved, validated, and audited throughout its lifecyle. From its initial development, to its origination, subsequent trading, settlement, and clearing; and on to its ultimate retirement – LUCID™ collapses the dynamism of the environmental into a structure that can be traded at scale using the tools and apparatus of today’s capital markets. Double Counting is eliminated. Digital settlement is enabled. Pre-trade diligence is facilitated. With LUCID™ – carbon is brought to life.

NCM Navigator

Interact with the world’s largest carbon-focused transformed data store directly using SADAR™’s native NCM Navigator functionality, powered natively by one of the world’s leading Generative AI LLMs. Structure complex queries to extract multi-dimensional data insights from the platform and answer intricate compliance, regulatory, and pre-trade diligence inquires – driving higher trade volumes and enhanced execution.

Portfolio Management

Use SADAR’s™ Portfolio Management functionality to track and monitor complex positions and holdings in both traditional projects and bespoke synthetic inventories (baskets, carbon ETFs, custom indices, etc.). Integrated pricing feeds from market makers facilitate the valuation of both complete portfolios and individual constituent positions, while watch-list functionality automates pre-trade diligence activities to enable high-velocity trading activity to take advantage of transient market conditions. Research any user-defined area on Earth to uncover favorable land characteristics, latent carbon stocks, or development opportunities – then monitor that Area of Interest (AOI) for future market activity.

NCM UI - An Intuitive Map View

Built for the enterprise, SADAR™ NCM is easily accessed through your web browser and supports Single-Sign-On (SSO) via Microsoft Entra ID, Google SSO and Okta Workforce Identity. Multiple data layers are easily displayable and automatically geo-rectified, allowing for a seamless map-based global navigation experience.

Create custom carbon baskets and compare carbon project/inventories by simply drawing a box around an Area of Interest (AOI), then use SADAR’s™ powerful filtering capabilities to drill down to the information you need quickly and easily. Use the NCM Navigator, powered by a sophisticated generative AI trained specifically on carbon and environmental markets data, side by side with the intuitive map view to extract critical business intelligence directly from SADAR’s™ industry leading harmonized data lake.

Laconic Universal Environmental Identifier (LUEI) Explorer

Easily find details about any project based on the LUEI™ taxonomy system. Surface the lineage for any projects and explore relationships between projects. Jump right to the project details to access project documents, its data pedigree score and the project’s overall health.

Project Details

The project details page provides an historical view of the project’s carbon credit vintage including retired credits. You can also access the project’s documents and Laconic’s data pedigree engine scoring which indicates the quality of the data in the project and the overall project quality.

Data Pedigree Scoring

In addition to displaying the project registry’s data pedigree, Laconic goes much further by providing a scoring based on 14 data elements and 58 sub-elements.

Using a highly reliable data pedigree scoring engine, all project data is analyzed, and a score is objectively determined and displayed. Decision makers can analyze the project based on the data’s integrity and quality score.
