AgriCapture Sells 30,000 Carbon Credits in Historic Sale of Largest U.S. Rice Methane Reduction Project
Support On-Farm Methane Reductions
Nature-Based Methane Reduction Credits
From Missouri to Texas, rice farmers are implementing water-saving and climate smart practices that reduce methane emissions. We’re proud to introduce the first-ever carbon credits from rice farming in US history, at scale.
How do we Reduce On-Farm Methane Emissions?
1 Farmers Adopt Regenerative Agriculture
Farmers implement climate-friendly and water-saving agriculture practices to increase soil organic carbon and reduce methane emissions from rice cultivation.
2 AgriCapture Generates Carbon Credits
Farm practices and emissions reductions undergo third-party verification and Climate Action Reserve review to ensure high-integrity carbon credit issuances.
3 Companies Purchase Carbon Credits
Companies can purchase credits to offset their Scope 3 or difficult-to-abate emissions and work towards climate positive goals. Each emissions reduction credit represents one ton of CO2 equivalent emissions avoided through on-farm practices.
Project acreage spans from Missouri to Texas.
Farms adopt regenerative farming practices.
AgriCapture collects data from each field.
AgriCapture’s approach ensures the integrity of emissions reduction carbon credits by addressing key quality requirements.
Registry-Verified and Data-Driven
AgriCapture is one of only two companies in history to have been issued carbon credits under the Soil Enrichment Protocol.
Emissions reduction carbon credits are third-party verified and registered with the Climate Action Reserve, ensuring high-integrity assurance of emissions reductions. The Reserve is either endorsed or approved by the ICVCM and CORSIA.
Sustainable Farming Practices
Water-Saving Irrigation
Our farmers conserve water and reduce methane emissions by implementing practices such as Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) or Furrow Irrigated Rice (FIR).
Efficient Fertilizer Use
By regulating fertilizer usage, we ensure plants absorb needed nutrients while preventing water supply contamination and limiting nitrous oxide emissions.
Cover Crops
By cover cropping, our farmers ensure ground is not left bare in the offseason, which prevents soil erosion, improves soil health, and sequesters carbon.
