Grasslands

Grasslands are one of the largest carbon sinks on the planet, capable of pulling enormous quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil. Carbon farming is the process of farming and ranching to maximize the land’s ability to lock up CO2 and other greenhouse gases, making the land more resilient to the effects of a changing climate. Carbon farming is successful when carbon gains resulting from enhanced land management or conservation practices exceed carbon losses. This new market opportunity pays farmers and ranchers to preserve grasslands and lock carbon into the soil. Grassland carbon credits reward landowners for retaining soil carbon and avoiding the emissions associated with converting grassland into croplands. Grassland projects also provide ecosystem benefits such as habitat for threatened

American ranchers occupy hundreds of millions of acres of grazing lands that can draw carbon down and store it in the soil for thousands of years We either purchase or lease the lands. Our process involves rigorous soil sampling and measurement to assess carbon storage and employ the best land management practices for carbon storage, verify and certify the carbon credits according to the Regenerative Standard.

Key drivers of carbon market growth

Lease Revenue Pool I

A carbon lease is an agreement between a landowner and a company, where the landowner is paid to store carbon on their property through practices like reforestation, soil conservation, reduced tillage, or using a previously drilled oil well.

The purpose of a carbon lease is to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.

Landowners can participate in a carbon lease through carbon sequestration that is stored in the soil or through trees on the property. This is known as carbon offsets or carbon sequestration.

Landowners can also lease their previously drilled wells to store carbon underground. This is largely known as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
