For UK Farmers & Landowners

Your Land Could Be
Earning You Money

We help farmers turn spare or marginal land into woodland carbon credits — at zero upfront cost. You provide the land, we handle everything from satellite scans to credit issuance.

How It Works

5 Simple Steps to Carbon Credits

01

Satellite Scan

We scan your land using satellite imagery and environmental data to check suitability

02

Soil Sampling

We coordinate soil sampling on your land — at no cost to you

03

Lab Analysis

Accredited labs analyse your soil for carbon content and quality

04

Registry Submission

We submit everything to the Woodland Carbon Code registry on your behalf

05

Credits Issued

Carbon credits are issued and you start earning revenue from your land

Benefits

Why Farmers Choose PEN9

🌳

Zero Upfront Cost

We cover all costs — satellite scans, soil sampling, lab fees, registry submissions. You only pay a share after credits are sold.

📡

Satellite-Powered Assessment

Our platform uses DEFRA environmental data and satellite imagery to assess your land in minutes, not months.

🔬

Full Chain of Custody

Every step is digitally recorded — from scan to credit. Independent labs verify everything. Complete transparency.

💰

Woodland Carbon Credits

The UK Woodland Carbon Code is the gold standard for carbon credits. PIUs sell for £15–£30 each.

📋

We Handle The Paperwork

Registry applications, validation, verification — we manage the entire process. You focus on farming.

📊

Track Your Progress

Follow your application from land mapping right through to credits being issued, all in one place.

Early Access

Pre-Launch

PEN9 Pixels is onboarding its first cohort of landowners now. We are Manchester-born, North West-first, and built to scale nationally: satellite assessment, BNG matching, tenant farmer guidance, and a carbon-credit exchange for high-integrity local and global credits.

Technology

Built On Soil, Satellite & Government Data

PEN9 prioritises the crucial soil layer first: DEFRA Magic Maps, Environment Agency LiDAR, England Peat Map, Cranfield LandIS / National Soil Map, BGS geology and commercial satellite imagery. Estimates are clearly marked as such; live integrations are labelled connected, planned ones are labelled planned.

PEN9 works backwards from the boundary: gross area, boundary metres, 1.5m internal edge buffer, WCC 1.5m planting grid, stocking check, WCC-style carbon calculator forecast and farmer value. The map shows the planned planting positions inside the polygon; large schemes are density-rendered for speed while the actual tree count remains in the calculation.

      Carbon Credit Exchange

      List, Score & Sell High-Integrity Credits

      PEN9 is designed to become a marketplace for credits we originate and credits certified elsewhere. Buyers can choose local North West credits when available, or use the exchange to source larger certified projects from the UK and overseas with a PEN9 integrity score.

      Listing Standard

      Additionality

      The project must need credit revenue to happen; legally required projects are filtered out.

      Permanence

      Nature projects need a 30-year UK covenant or a credible buffer pool for global credits.

      No Double-Counting

      Credits need unique serial numbers and clear retirement once used by a buyer.

      Conservative Baselines

      Satellite history and public data are used to challenge inflated claims.

      Land Application

      Apply for a PEN9 land assessment

      Submit your land details and we will review the boundary, LiDAR twin forecast, carbon route and BNG potential. Submissions are emailed to digitaldenirouk@gmail.com.

      Form delivery is provided by Netlify Forms; submissions are forwarded to digitaldenirouk@gmail.com. No application has been submitted to any registry on your behalf — registration is a manual, human-reviewed step we coordinate after first contact.

      This report is a PEN9 forecast and not a registry submission. Formal Woodland Carbon Code applications still require official calculator evidence, project design documentation, verifier review and scheme sign-off.
