Where zero begins.
Built for the region

Sifr is the Arabic root of the word zero. From zero, everything is possible. Sifr Collection is the carbon market intelligence platform for the Middle East and North Africa, built so the people deploying capital here can finally see the market clearly.

The MENA voluntary carbon market is small today and growing fast. Buyers, project developers, governments, and investors are working from scattered data, foreign benchmarks, and PDFs. We bring reference prices, project tracking, policy intelligence, and soil and geospatial data into one place.

We do not broker credits and we do not run a trading venue. We are an information platform. That independence is the point: our job is to tell you what the market is doing, not to sell you a position in it.

What We Do

Three layers of MENA
carbon intelligence

01 · MARKET DATA
Reference Prices
& Indices

Indicative reference prices, regional indices, and auction outcomes for voluntary and compliance carbon across MENA. We track VCS, Gold Standard, blue carbon, and sovereign schemes so you are not guessing from foreign benchmarks. We report the market, we do not make it.

02 · GEOSPATIAL
Soil & Geospatial
Data

Satellite-derived soil organic carbon and vegetation data for the region's arid landscapes, with NDVI and biomass tracking aligned to Verra and Gold Standard methodology. Built for MRV-grade reporting, not marketing slides.

03 · RESEARCH
Project Tracking
& Research

A live registry of announced and active carbon projects across the region, from desert reforestation to mangrove restoration, with policy intelligence on the schemes shaping demand. Briefings written for the people deciding where capital goes.

Illustrative soil organic carbon depth profile · arid rangeland

Arid and semi-arid soils are one of the region's most overlooked carbon stories. They hold little carbon per hectare, but MENA has a vast amount of land. Generations of overgrazing and desertification have stripped these soils, and well managed restoration can rebuild part of that stock.

The honest picture matters here. Dryland restoration sequesters carbon slowly, roughly 0.1 to 0.5 tonnes of carbon per hectare each year on grazing land, so credible measurement separates real projects from optimistic ones. That is exactly where data earns its keep.

Sifr tracks soil organic carbon using Sentinel-2 satellite data and published dryland science, aligned to Verra VM0042 and Gold Standard methodology, so a soil carbon claim can survive scrutiny.

Geospatial Intelligence

See the carbon.
From space.

Satellite Monitoring

Coverage drawn from Sentinel-1/2, Landsat, and commercial imagery. 10m resolution biomass and soil carbon mapping across the MENA region, backed by a multi-decade satellite archive.

NDVI & Biomass

Vegetation index history, above-ground biomass stock, and annual change detection. Forest and rangeland cover dynamics with pixel-level uncertainty for MRV-grade data products.

SOC Depth Profiling

Multi-depth soil organic carbon models calibrated against field measurements and published dryland datasets. Designed for ground-truth validation rather than satellite-only estimates.

MRV-Aligned Data

Measurement, reporting, and verification data structured to Verra VCS, VM0042, and Gold Standard methodology. Built for project developers, verifiers, and national registries.
