From Missouri to Texas, rice farmers are implementing water-saving and climate smart practices that reduce methane emissions.
AgriCapture has sold over 30,000 carbon credits from the U.S. Rice Methane Reduction Project, representing the largest rice methane reduction project in U.S. history.
AgriCapture’s Director of Demand, John Lanahan sits down with Olivia Albrecht, CEO and Founder of Artemeter, to discuss carbon markets and agriculture’s vital role in methane reduction.
Farmers implement climate-friendly and water-saving agriculture practices to increase soil organic carbon and reduce methane emissions from rice cultivation.
Farm practices and emissions reductions undergo third-party verification and Climate Action Reserve review to ensure high-integrity carbon credit issuances.
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.
AgriCapture’s approach ensures the integrity of emissions reduction carbon credits by addressing key quality requirements.
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.
Our farmers conserve water and reduce methane emissions by implementing practices such as Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) or Furrow Irrigated Rice (FIR).
By regulating fertilizer usage, we ensure plants absorb needed nutrients while preventing water supply contamination and limiting nitrous oxide emissions.
By cover cropping, our farmers ensure ground is not left bare in the offseason, which prevents soil erosion, improves soil health, and sequesters carbon.
