InfraBlocks Technologies, a Singapore-based climate fintech company, has announced the launch of a groundbreaking digital platform designed to monitor and manage carbon credits generated from engineered bamboo projects. The initiative, revealed at NYC Climate Week 2025, underscores InfraBlocks’ commitment to advancing technology-driven climate finance and transparency in carbon markets.
Developed in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Kumi Analytics, BanQu, and Rizome, the project integrates satellite imagery, blockchain technology, and digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems. This fusion of digital tools aims to enhance traceability, cut verification costs, and attract scalable financing for high-integrity nature-based solutions across Asia.

The first pilot project will be conducted with Rizome, a bamboo innovation company with large-scale engineered bamboo plantations in the Philippines. Rizome’s operations are ideal for the initiative bamboo grows up to fifteen times faster than trees, sequesters carbon rapidly, and offers geo-tagged, traceable plantations. Through this collaboration, Rizome will become the first bamboo project in Asia to issue digital carbon credits, setting a precedent for other technology-enabled, nature-based carbon projects.

“InfraBlocks is proud to partner with ADB to develop a unique digital engine for bamboo projects, mobilizing more resources for one of the world’s most powerful nature-based climate solutions,” said Cédric Joutet, Co-Founder & CEO of InfraBlocks Technologies. “By digitizing these projects, we are opening the door to new forms of financing, transparency, and market access.”
Shubhomoy Ray, Co-Founder & President of InfraBlocks Technologies, emphasized the company’s broader mission. “At InfraBlocks, our goal is to bridge climate integrity with financial innovation. Partnering with ADB, Kumi Analytics, BanQu, and Rizome allows us to showcase how technologies like satellite monitoring, digital MRV, and blockchain can reshape how carbon projects are financed and scaled globally.”
The project also received support from technology partners who play vital roles in ensuring data precision and accountability. Clinton Libbey, Founder and CEO of Kumi Analytics, noted, “By harnessing satellite imagery and advanced geospatial analytics, we’re providing the transparency and trust needed to unlock high-quality carbon markets. This collaboration demonstrates how technology can ensure bamboo’s carbon sequestration potential is both measurable and verifiable.”

Ashish Gadnis, CEO of BanQu, added, “Using BanQu’s blockchain-based first-mile solution to geotag at the farm and clump level, and linking that data all the way to finished products and carbon credits via InfraBlocks, is an absolute game changer for every stakeholder involved.”
This initiative builds on InfraBlocks’ strong track record of innovation in digital MRV and carbon market infrastructure, following successful collaborations with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and other global institutions. By aligning with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, InfraBlocks aims to create a scalable model for bamboo carbon credit monetization that supports a transparent, inclusive, and sustainable low-carbon economy.
