Cutting-edge Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), carbon and natural capital management
CSX is pioneering advanced data analysis systems that empower landowners to gain fair returns through ecological land management. Our innovative solutions allow businesses to independently verify and track their climate actions, ensuring transparency and accountability in achieving net zero, Climate and Nature Related Financial Disclosure and biodiversity net gain targets.
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Traditional offset systems, rooted in outdated methods from the Kyoto Protocol, no longer meet the demand or precision required to combat the climate crisis.
Outdated calculations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.
