Spacenus

Carbon and input optimization platform for regenerative agriculture

Description

Spacenus is a satellite-driven modular solution for precision, regenerative agriculture, and sustainability, providing tools such as nitrogen dosage recommendations, soil productivity maps, and supply chain carbon analytics. Its services include exportable application maps (ISOXML, Shapefile), boundary detection, and protocol-compliant Measurement, Reporting and Verification for carbon projects. The platform supports climate-smart farming by enabling data-informed input use and carbon footprint monitoring across landscapes, supporting both farm-level and corporate users in achieving efficiency, resilience, and climate-smart practices.

Technology

  • Artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Big data
  • Cloud
  • Desktop/web-based application
  • GIS
  • Artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Remote sensing

Spacenus combines optical (Sentinel-2) and radar (Sentinel-1) satellite data with AI to produce weekly biomass and nitrogen uptake maps. Outputs are delivered through the Agricultural Nutrient Assistant (ANA) web/app, which provides fertilizer recommendations and exportable application maps for farm machinery, and through APIs for integration into external platforms. Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) mapping at 10 × 10 m resolution is generated via calibrated imagery and smart sampling design, supporting Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) and carbon credit frameworks.

Target

  • Farm advisors
  • Large size farms
  • Medium size farms
  • Smallholder farmers
  • Private sector
  • Public sector

Spacenus serves a wide range of stakeholders across the food value chain, including farmers, agri-food companies, farm advisors, and carbon project developers.

Business model

  • Fee for service

Spacenus offers a SaaS model with modular access to its nitrogen, soil, and sustainability analytics tools. Clients may subscribe to dashboards, request carbon footprint analysis, or integrate insights via API.

Impact

Spacenus aims to reduce nitrogen overuse, support regenerative agriculture, and provide carbon transparency across farming operations. Further, it can contribute to enhanced yield stability, lower input costs, facilitate evidence-based climate action, nutrient stewardship and GHG reduction at scale. According to the company’s website, achievement includes enabling up to 30% nitrogen reduction while maintaining yield and supporting GHG mitigation.
