Problem
Quantifying soil carbon stocks accurately and cost-effectively across diverse geographies is challenging, hindering effective tracking and verification of carbon sequestration efforts. Traditional methods lack the scalability and consistency needed for widespread adoption in carbon accounting and credit verification.
Solution
Agricarbon provides an end-to-end service for soil carbon quantification, leveraging a statistically robust sampling strategy and automated analysis to measure soil organic carbon (SOC) and bulk density. The company's approach involves a stratified random sampling design based on digital mapping, incorporating soil type, geology, terrain features, and above-ground vegetation data. Field operators collect soil cores using specialized all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) with hydraulic core extractors, ensuring samples accurately represent field conditions. Agricarbon's automated soil carbon analysis (ASCA) processes thousands of samples with high consistency, utilizing Dumas dry combustion for accurate SOC measurement. The resulting data is prepared for carbon accounting and credit verification, providing clients with detailed field-level breakdowns and secure data storage for future audits.
Target Audience
Agricarbon serves organizations involved in carbon sequestration projects, including farmers, landowners, carbon project developers, and corporations seeking to offset emissions through verified soil carbon credits.
