Zr3i

Zr3i is an agricultural technology company based in Cairo, Egypt, that operates a carbon measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) platform specifically designed for date palm farms across the MENA region. The platform utilizes satellite imagery and AI-driven analytics to monitor farm performance, measuring over 18 vegetation indices to track carbon storage in real time. By digitizing the entire carbon project lifecycle—from design and data collection to compliance with international standards such as Verra VCS—the company enables farmers to convert their farms into verified carbon assets. Its technology infrastructure allows for the transparent monitoring and verification of climate contributions, aiming to generate carbon income for agricultural producers while simplifying complex regulatory processes.

The platform provides a crucial solution for farmers facing challenges like water scarcity and climate change, offering a path to monetize their environmental impact without requiring significant upfront costs or complicated paperwork. By transforming natural palm plantations into measurable, financeable climate infrastructure, Zr3i helps unlock new revenue streams through carbon credits for farmers in Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE. The company, founded in 2021 by Walid Nasr, integrates with registries and offtakers to facilitate the issuance and trading of carbon credits, thereby supporting sustainable agricultural practices and providing smallholder farmers with access to international climate finance markets.
