Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — November 4, 2025 — At the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Annual Meeting (RT2025), CarbonSpace, in partnership with SD Guthrie, RSPO, Sarawak TROPI and Control Union, hosted a side event titled “The Business Case for Agricultural Supply Chain Decarbonization: MRV for Scalable and Accurate SBTi FLAG & LSRG Compliance.”

The session brought together leading scientists, sustainability experts, and industry practitioners to explore the evolving landscape of agricultural emissions measurement and verification (MRV).
With the palm oil sector under growing scrutiny for its climate footprint, the event focused on enabling companies to meet Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) FLAG and GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Guidance (LSRG) requirements through the use of scalable, data-driven technologies.
Setting the Stage for Change
The workshop opened with remarks by Dr. Geza Toth, CEO of CarbonSpace, who highlighted the growing demand for transparent and verifiable data in agricultural supply chains. He emphasized how atmospheric MRV — using net ecosystem exchange (NEE) as a measurement framework — enables businesses to monitor carbon flows across entire landscapes, ensuring credible and cost-effective climate reporting.
“Decarbonization is no longer a voluntary ambition. It’s becoming a license to operate. Our role is to ensure that sustainability targets are backed by real, verifiable data, not estimates.”
“Our ecosystem-level measurements capture carbon fluxes directly in the atmosphere — where climate change actually happens. This represents a real scientific breakthrough for land-use accounting. Traditional soil and biomass sampling methods leave out much of the carbon cycle, but with Net Ecosystem Exchange monitoring we can finally capture the full picture, enabling true net-zero reporting.”
