Competitive agribusiness: carbon credits, EUDR, and traceability. With CarbonOS.

Carbonova connects purchases of grain, cattle and inputs, suppliers’ field-plot data, plant energy and fuel use, and satellite imagery to CarbonOS, a platform of AI agents. CarbonOS calculates the Scope 1 to 3 inventory per plant and per product, monitors sourcing areas by satellite with anomaly detection and compares efficiency and input measures by their effect on cost and CO₂, with evidence ready for the EUDR and for buyers.

They come from cattle (enteric fermentation and manure), nitrogen fertilisers, diesel for machinery and dryers, energy in processing plants and, above all, land-use change. Agriculture, forestry and other land use produced 22% of global net greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, and about half of that was CO₂ from land use, mainly deforestation (IPCC, 2022). For a processor, the emissions of supplying farms sit in Scope 3.

Large companies report under AASB S2, which requires Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions; Group 2 entities started with reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2026, and for a food processor most farm emissions sit in Scope 3. Processing plants that consume 100 TJ or more of energy a year, or emit 25,000 tCO₂e or more, also report to the Clean Energy Regulator under NGER by 31 October each year.

Yes. Projects under approved ACCU Scheme methods earn one Australian carbon credit unit for each tonne of CO₂e avoided or stored, and agriculture projects such as animal effluent management, soil carbon and beef herd management received a record 0.4 million ACCUs in the June quarter of 2026, when the generic spot price closed at $37.95 (Clean Energy Regulator, 2026). Carbonova keeps the herd, field and energy data behind a project auditable from source to report.

The supply chain agent links every purchased lot to its suppliers and plots of origin, Sentinel AI checks those plots against satellite imagery for signs of deforestation after 31 December 2020, the EUDR cut-off date, and the Compliance Hub flags lots with open issues. The result is a per-lot file with an audit trail that suppliers hand to the EU operator, who is responsible for the due diligence statement.

CarbonOS reads purchase and invoice data for grain, cattle and inputs, ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle, plant meters and IoT data, field-plot data and satellite imagery, then normalises and versions everything. Each value keeps its lineage back to the invoice, plot or meter, a versioned emission factor and a change history, in line with the ISO 14064-3 verification standard, which serves EUDR files, buyers’ Scope 3 and certification bodies.
