What Kayrros does

Kayrros is a Paris-headquartered geospatial AI company founded in 2016 that builds environmental and energy intelligence products for global market participants. Its platform ingests data from more than 20 Earth Observation satellite constellations spanning optical, infrared, hyperspectral, and SAR sensors, then applies proprietary computer vision, anomaly detection, and predictive models to a proprietary database of more than five million physical assets, producing daily measurements of energy flows, inventories, emissions, and physical risk indicators. Product lines are organized into Energy Solutions (LNG Intelligence, Crude Oil Intelligence, Carbon Watch, Jet Fuel Intelligence, Stockpiles Monitor, Solar and Battery Storage Construction Monitors, E&P Intelligence, Equity Tracker, On-Road Demand) and Risk Solutions (Wildfire Risk Monitor, Methane Watch, Forest Carbon Monitor, Imported Deforestation Tracker, Forestry Due Diligence, Vegetation Monitoring/Clearing, Nature Impact Platform), with an Innovation Studio for custom analytics.

The company serves three primary customer segments: commodity and carbon traders needing near-real-time intelligence on energy markets and inventories; energy operators and nature-based solutions project developers requiring independent verification of environmental metrics; and financial institutions managing physical climate risk and regulatory compliance under TNFD, SFDR, and CSRD. Named adopters include BNP Paribas Asset Management, which piloted the Nature Impact Platform for biodiversity risk assessment across European infrastructure assets.

Kayrros operates an enterprise B2B SaaS model with custom quote-based annual subscriptions, sold via a direct enterprise sales motion through six offices in Paris, New York, Houston, London, Singapore, and Bangalore. The company was venture-backed, with a €40 million round in March 2022 led by French Tech Souveraineté, and was acquired by London-based Energy Aspects in May 2026 as part of an energy-intelligence roll-up that also included OilX, INAS, and TankWatch.
