Core Features
Metatons operates as a hybrid measurement engine that ingests primary data from IoT field sensors, remote sensing, and laboratory analyses to calculate activity-based emissions and removals. Specific capabilities include:
End-to-End Physical Traceability: QR codes and RFID track biomass from feedstock lot through pyrolysis to soil application, preventing double counting across complex supply chains.
Dynamic LCA Engine: Continuously updated emissions factor catalog calculates CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O across transport, processing, and embedded emissions.
Multi-Dimensional Monitoring: Integrates satellite, in-situ sensor, and lab data to measure soil carbon, water impact, and biodiversity, not just CO₂.
Blockchain Notarization: Audit trails and open project data are hashed on blockchain, creating immutable records that survive registry changes.
Certification-Ready Reporting: API connectivity to registries and ERPs generates reports aligned with ISO 14064-3, CRCF, and EU regulations.
Predictive Analytics: Machine-learning models assess seedling mortality risk and photosynthetic efficiency, enabling proactive project management.
Closing Insights
The platform’s origin lies in a recognised disconnect. CEO Susanna Di Vincenzo, whose background combines sociology and software development, observed that sustainability officers and land managers operated from fundamentally different datasets—the former working with regulatory spreadsheets, the latter with field sensors. Co-founder and Managing Director Mariga Perlongo subsequently established the company as a Società Benefit, embedding environmental returns into its legal structure alongside financial ones. This synthesis of technical infrastructure and domain expertise has led to partnerships with Italy’s CREA research council and the University of Molise on open-source forestry digitisation, and with Sila National Park on AI-driven biodiversity tracking.
Unlike generalist carbon accountants that retrofit financial data, Metatons is purpose-built for the EU’s tightening regulatory architecture. It is relevant for organisations covered by regulations requiring physical verification of land-based assets. The company’s October 2024 admission to the Negative Emissions Platform signals its credibility among CDR policymakers. Subscription fee details are not public, but the firm offers expert advisory on project design and offtake contracting, effectively bundling software with carbon market brokerage.
