Satellite monitoring and carbon intelligence
We combine Earth observation, project information and AI to help assess and monitor carbon-removal projects. Satellite observations and ground evidence help make changes easier to investigate and explain.
About Tao Climate
About Tao Climate
Tao Climate is an Irish AI and climate technology company building tools to measure carbon impact, monitor carbon-removal projects and help businesses take practical action.
Our mission is to make carbon removal measurable, understandable and accessible. We combine satellite observations, project data and AI to connect climate decisions with evidence.
Decarbonise With Certainty.
What Tao Climate does
Tao Carbon Inventory and Carbon Twin
Our project tools organise boundaries, satellite imagery, monitoring results and carbon information. They help authorised users inspect evidence, track changes and understand the assumptions behind estimates.
Tao Carbon Brain
Tao Carbon Brain brings carbon knowledge into research and project workflows. It supports investigation and explanation using scientific evidence and project information.
Carbon measurement and removal services
We develop services connecting carbon-footprint measurement with carbon-removal purchasing and reporting. Our goal is to integrate these steps into business processes and digital products.
MarginGlow AI
MarginGlow is our AI growth desk for small businesses. It researches businesses, identifies opportunities to attract customers, reduce costs and improve margins, and turns findings into practical actions. Explore MarginGlow.
AI agent access
MarginGlow AI Signal provides authorised agents with specialist business intelligence through Model Context Protocol (MCP). Connecting agents with carbon measurement and verified removal purchasing is a development vision, not a currently promised capability.
What makes Tao Climate different
Evidence from space and the ground.
We combine satellite observations with project information and field evidence to help users investigate what is happening at a location.
Carbon estimates with context.
We aim to make methods, boundaries, inputs and assumptions visible, distinguishing observations, estimates and independently verified outcomes.
Useful products.
Our work spans project monitoring, carbon intelligence, measurement services and small-business AI, giving us practical experience of building tools for their intended users.
Built for people and software.
We develop human interfaces and services other applications can call. MarginGlow’s live MCP service makes specialist analysis available within wider workflows.
Durable carbon removal.
Our work includes hemp-based construction. Assessing potential net removal requires attention to carbon storage, processing and other relevant lifecycle emissions.
Who we work with
The intended audiences for our work include:
- Carbon-removal project developers and operators
- Businesses assessing emissions and removal options
- Agricultural and construction partners
- Researchers working on carbon measurement
- Developers integrating carbon services or AI
- Small-business owners using MarginGlow
