Core Intelligence

We do not produce
sustainability reports.

We produce financially quantified physical risk intelligence. The distinction matters — because it determines what kind of decision our outputs support.

01
🛰
Geospatial Exposure Screening
High-fidelity predictive mapping of flood boundaries, extreme thermal zones, and macro environmental exposure for multi-decade asset and land portfolios. Ingested from SANSA, ESA Copernicus, and SAWS data sources at 10-metre precision.
02
📊
Climate Value at Risk (CVaR)
The financial translation of physical climate risk. We quantify potential financial loss from specific climate hazards across defined asset portfolios — expressed in rands, over defined time horizons, under NGFS-aligned scenarios. CVaR is the metric boards, CFOs, and investors require.
03
💧
Sovereign Water Risk Analytics
Advanced modelling of watershed depletion, aquifer availability, and catchment-level volatility. For water-dependent operations — mining, agriculture, manufacturing, municipalities — water is not a utility. It is a sovereign risk with a quantifiable CVaR exposure.
04
📡
Satellite Infrastructure Monitoring
Sentinel-1 SAR satellite monitoring detects millimetre-scale structural deformation in tailings dams, bridges, and building foundations from orbit — providing continuous early warning intelligence that site visits cannot replicate in frequency or coverage.
05
⚖️
Regulatory Compliance Intelligence
Audit-ready climate disclosure packages aligned to South Africa's Climate Change Act (Act 22 of 2024), DFFE mandates, ISSB/IFRS S2, TCFD, and NGFS frameworks. Compliance transformed from regulatory burden into strategic governance evidence.
06
🏗
Climate-Adjusted Asset Valuation
Integration of CVaR directly into DCF valuation models, M&A due diligence frameworks, and infrastructure investment cases. Assets priced for climate reality — not historical assumptions — before capital is committed.

The word "telluric" means of the Earth.
Derived from the Latin tellus — the Earth itself — and referring to the natural electrical currents that flow through the planet's crust. Our intelligence is grounded in physical planetary data, not corporate disclosure. Every output traces back to a satellite, a weather station, a hydrological model, or a terrain dataset. Not to a boardroom presentation.
Africa is not the Global North.
Global climate models operate at 10km grid resolution — adequate for macro trend analysis, useless for a mine pit in Limpopo. Telluric downscales to 10 metres using machine learning calibrated specifically for South African and African topographic diversity. This precision gap is where asset-level decisions are made.

The Telluric Method

From satellite to
balance sheet.

Five steps. One decision-grade intelligence output.

01
Client Site Input
Asset coordinates, boundaries, and operational context. Regulatory obligations confirmed.
02
Data Collection
SANSA, CSIR, DWS, SAWS, ECMWF, and Copernicus satellite feeds ingested at source.
03
Spatial & Climate Analysis
10-metre downscaled hazard modelling using CLIMADA, PhysRisk, and proprietary ML models.
04
CVaR Quantification
Physical hazard translated to financial exposure — CVaR expressed in rands under NGFS scenarios.
05
Intelligence Delivery
Board, CFO, CRO, and ESG briefs. Compliance packages. Adaptation investment recommendations.
Regulatory Alignment

Every framework.
One intelligence layer.

Telluric's outputs are structured to satisfy the physical risk disclosure requirements of every major regulatory and investor framework operating in South Africa and internationally.

South Africa
Climate Change Act 22 of 2024
Legally binding disclosure obligations for JSE-listed entities, mining houses, and heavy emitters. Telluric's compliance engine generates audit-ready DFFE-aligned physical risk disclosures under sectoral emission reduction target frameworks.
International
ISSB / IFRS S2
The global standard for climate-related financial disclosure. Telluric's physical risk quantification outputs are structured to directly populate ISSB/IFRS S2 reporting requirements for physical risk exposure across asset portfolios.
International
TCFD Framework
The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures requires physical risk scenario analysis under at least two warming scenarios. Telluric's CVaR outputs deliver this quantitatively, at asset level, under CMIP6-aligned scenarios.
Central Banks · SARB
NGFS Scenarios
The Network for Greening the Financial System — of which the South African Reserve Bank is a member — sets global climate stress testing standards. Telluric's risk quantification engine is built on NGFS-aligned scenario architecture.
South Africa · JSE
King IV & JSE Sustainability Guidance
King IV places climate risk squarely within board fiduciary responsibility. JSE Listings Requirements and Sustainability Disclosure Guidance reference TCFD alignment as a governance expectation. Telluric's intelligence satisfies both.
South Africa
DFFE & POPIA
Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment reporting requirements under the Climate Change Act, combined with POPIA-compliant data processing frameworks for all client and partner data handled by Telluric's platform.

About Telluric

Built in Pretoria.
Built for Africa.

Telluric Climate Intelligence is a pan-African environmental and climate risk intelligence firm. We operate at the intersection of physics-based planetary data and multi-sector capital defense — engineering legally defensible, structurally rigorous risk frameworks for institutions that cannot afford to be surprised by climate.

10m
Asset-level resolution — the precision that separates a mine pit risk assessment from a catchment-level generalisation. No global North competitor currently offers this for South African conditions.
SANSA
Primary Earth Observation data partnership. South African satellite data, calibrated for South African terrain. Not global generic feeds applied without local validation.
2024
South Africa's Climate Change Act creates legally binding disclosure obligations. Telluric's compliance engine is the purpose-built response to this regulatory mandate.
