What is BNG and why is it important?

 

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) ensures that land development and management activities result in a positive impact on biodiversity compared to the pre-existing conditions. This approach helps protect and enhance ecosystems, supporting wildlife and combating climate change.

Achieving BNG is vital for developers looking to demonstrate environmental responsibility and gain planning permission. CSX Carbon, trusted experts in biodiversity management, provides advanced tools and consultancy services that allow landowners and companies to track and verify their progress toward both BNG and carbon offset targets.

Why changing your approach to BNG and carbon offsetting can help?

Traditional offset systems, rooted in outdated methods from the Kyoto Protocol, no longer meet the demand or precision required to combat the climate crisis.

Outdated calculations

Current UK Above Ground Biomass (AGB) industry practice calculations are based on 1950s algorithm and 1960s data.

Cost-prohibitive

Due to its manual nature, the current method of measurement lacks cost-effective scalability.

Lacking accuracy

Current methods are expensive due to manual, inefficient estimation processes.

Advanced BNG & carbon measurement – faster, easier, more accurate

Our cutting-edge processes make measuring Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and carbon offsets faster, more affordable, and significantly more accurate. Traditional methods relied on manual tree measurements and extrapolations, but we take a different approach.

As the first UK company to offer businesses and landowners a fully accessible technical infrastructure, we use drones to capture high-resolution imagery and create digital twin records of the land. This data is analysed using machine learning tools to deliver highly precise carbon and natural capital measurements, transforming the way carbon and biodiversity is monitored. 

Our background gives us a deep understanding of land management, advising on BNG and how to maximise your carbon

CSX and our team are grounded in environmental land management, having a passionate interest in protecting and improving biodiversity and the environment.

Andy Howard, the company’s co-founder and CEO, is well known throughout the forestry sector, having developed some of the UK’s most ambitious woodland projects and supporting Government reviews on the development of tree planting initiatives in England.

“As landowners and environmental stewards, we are committed to advancing knowledge in the measurement of carbon and biodiversity across local landscapes and defining measurement, monitoring and verification standards that can be adopted widely.”
