Soil Carbon Sequestration

About Soil Carbon Sequestration

Soil Carbon Sequestration is a transformative solution for combating climate change while improving agricultural productivity. By storing atmospheric carbon in soils through regenerative agriculture and soil enhancement techniques, this approach provides dual benefits of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and enriching soil health.

At Credynova, we specialize in designing and implementing soil carbon sequestration projects that align with global standards, generate high-value carbon and nutrient credits, and contribute to sustainable development goals.

Comprehensive Services for Soil Carbon Sequestration

Regenerative Agriculture: Implement practices such as cover cropping, no-till farming, crop rotation, and agroforestry to enhance soil organic carbon levels.
Soil Enhancement Techniques: Apply biochar, compost, and other organic amendments to improve soil fertility and carbon storage capacity.
Standards Compliance: Align projects with frameworks like the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, ISO 14064, and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Environmental Impact Assessment: Conduct LCAs using ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards to evaluate the sustainability of soil carbon projects.
Economic Feasibility Studies: Perform TEA to assess profitability, scalability, and financial benefits from carbon and nutrient credits.
Carbon Footprint Reporting: Utilize ISO 14067 to measure the carbon footprint of soil management practices.

Soil Carbon Monitoring: Use advanced tools such as satellite imaging, remote sensing, and soil sampling to rigorously track changes in soil carbon levels.
ISO Compliance: Adhere to standards like ISO 14064-3 and IPCC Guidelines for robust GHG quantification and reporting.
Third-Party Validation: Partner with accredited validators to certify carbon and nutrient credits.

Carbon Credits: Quantify and verify the carbon stored in soils, enabling issuance of high-quality credits in markets such as VERRA, Gold Standard, and Climate Action Reserve (CAR).
Nutrient Credits: Address nutrient retention and reduced runoff to generate credits for sustainable water and soil management.
Market Integration: Facilitate access to global carbon and nutrient credit markets, including ICR (Indian Carbon Registry) and EU ETS.
