The carbon is already on the farm.

Residue, water, trees and soil, measured on the field every season.

Carbon creditsfrom the field

Measured on the field, sold as credits, with every payment to the farmer on a statement they can read.

  • Biochar
  • Rice methane
  • Agroforestry
  • Soil carbon
  • Rock weathering
  • Biogas from residue
Who it’s for

Who are you?

Seven ways into the same work: farms, plants, buyers, industry, developers, funders and partners. Pick yours.

Farmers and farmer groups

Your residue and your practice can earn.

  • Your residue bought and your practice paid for, plot by plot.
  • Every payment on a statement you can read, by link.
  • Nothing asked that risks the harvest without cover.
For farmers

Plant owners

Your plant already cuts carbon. We bring it to market.

  • Biogas plants, sugar mills, rice mills, ginneries and kiln operators.
  • We carry the methodology, the documents, the measurement and the registry filings.
  • You keep the plant, its product and its credits; buyers pay you directly.
For plant owners

Credit buyers

Credits you can trace to a field.

  • Removal and avoidance credits from Indian farms and plants.
  • Every tonne traced to a field, a season and a practice.
  • Retired in your own registry account; we hold none to trade.
For buyers

Industry and exporters

Help with India's carbon market and the EU border tax.

  • Plants with emissions-intensity targets under India's carbon market.
  • Exporters whose EU buyers ask for the embedded emissions of what they buy.
  • Accounting, reporting and readiness, one plant or a whole cluster at a time.
For industry

Project developers

Feasibility to registry, for your project.

  • Feasibility, baselines and the right methodology.
  • Project documents, measurement, sampling and remote sensing.
  • Registry filings as your authorised representative, in India and abroad.
For developers

Funders

The finance layer we are building at GIFT IFSC.

  • Forward purchases, paid before issuance and settled in credits.
  • Construction finance arranged between the lender and the owner.
  • Being built at GIFT IFSC; nothing here is on offer yet.

Partners

Equipment makers, labs, research and programmes.

  • Kiln, reactor and digester makers.
  • Measurement labs, universities and research institutes.
  • Public programmes and input companies that reach the same farms.

Two futures

The same straw. Two futures.

Burned

It becomes smoke over the plain, and nothing goes back to the soil.

Carbonised

It becomes char that goes back to the field, and the residue is bought from the farmer.

The farm
is ready.
The market is not.

A seedling growing from soil mixed with black biochar

Smallholders already hold the land, the residue and the soil the world needs to remove carbon.

What is missing is the measurement, the market and the money reaching the field.

Only a handful of farm carbon projects in India have issued credits so far, and very little of the country's credit supply comes from farms.

The work comes first and the money comes last. A developer with a balance sheet can wait. A farmer cannot.

The credits

Six credits, one field, all at once.

Several on the same field, behind one farmer relationship and one measurement system. None of them waits for another.

Removal

Biochar

Straw and stalks that would burn are carbonised at the aggregation point, and the char goes back into the farmer's soil.

Avoidance

Rice methane

Flooded paddy gives off methane; managed water cuts it. Asked only where the yield is protected first.

Removal

Agroforestry

Trees on bunds and field edges. The farm keeps the fruit and the fodder; the carbon in the wood is measured over years.

Removal

Soil carbon

What the ground itself holds, sampled deep from the first season and paired against a neighbouring farm.

Removal

Rock weathering

Ground basalt spread on the field draws carbon down as it weathers, and the soil gets the minerals.

Avoidance

Biogas from residue

Residue the field cannot use goes to a plant someone else owns, and we develop the credit for it.

Measurement

Measured, not estimated.

Satellite, samples and sensors, every season, against a neighbouring farm. Move across the fields to see the layer the measurement reads.

Enrolment

We start where the farming is already changing. A farm that has just turned can be measured against what it used to be, near a point where the residue already gathers.

Why now

The farms are turning this season, so the change can be measured against what they used to be. Samples go in at enrolment, deep and paired against a neighbouring farm.

Why here

The mill already gathers the residue, so a kiln at its gate has feedstock from the start, and the farmer organisation brings its members.Aggregation point within reach

The statement

Every farmer gets a statement, plot by plot, with a new line each time a credit sells. Anyone with the link can read it. That is how the money is seen reaching the field.

From field to credit

Enrol the farm, measure it every season, register it on an international registry, issue the credit, and write the farmer's statement.

We never ask a farmer to change a practice that risks the harvest unless the loss is already covered. Until then, only what does not cut yield.

Our promise to farmersFor farmers

The credit you retire points to a field, a season and a practice, and to the statement that shows what it paid.

Our promise to buyersFor buyers

Nobody is paid to sign. What a partner receives comes from credits that were sold.

Already running a plant?

Your plant already cuts carbon.

Biogas plants, sugar mills, rice mills and kiln operators already avoid or remove carbon. We carry the registry work, so your plant becomes a credit line sooner than any farm can.

Six ways a farm removes or avoids carbon. All of them start together, several on the same field, behind one farmer relationship and one measurement system.

A credit is one payment a year. The relationship behind it carries more, on the same cohort and the same agreements.

FieldTalk to us
What is CarbonVerse?
A carbon-credit company, coming soon. We develop carbon projects on farms in India, measure them on the field, sell the credits, and show every payment to the farmer on a statement they can read.
Is it live yet?
Not yet. We are before the first cohort, the first aggregation point and the first buyer. Leave your email and we will write when the first project opens.
Which credits do you develop?
Biochar, rice methane, agroforestry, soil carbon, rock weathering, and biogas from residue. All of them start together, several on the same field, behind one measurement system.
Where is the company?
CarbonVerse Private Limited, with its registered office at GIFT City in the Domestic Tariff Area, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The finance layer is separate, intended for GIFT IFSC, and does not exist yet.
