While others promise future carbon removal, Grassroots Carbon delivers verified outcomes today. Our high-integrity soil carbon removals are backed by rigorous science, independent verification, and measurable impact, helping companies achieve credible climate targets while restoring U.S. grasslands, improving water retention, and building long-term ecosystem resilience.
Soil carbon removals are one of the only climate solutions delivering measurable, real world impact right now. While many technologies promise future removal, healthy grasslands are already pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and storing it in healthy soils.
True integrity requires real measurement. Soil carbon is directly measured in the ground through scientifically rigorous 1 meter soil cores supported by advanced modeling and continuous land management data. This provides measurable and verifiable evidence of carbon removed rather than estimates, assumptions or inaccurate projections.
The United States has 655 million acres of grasslands, creating one of the largest and most cost effective carbon removal opportunities on the planet. Proven economics allow deployment across millions of acres, making soil carbon one of the few nature based solutions that can scale today. When managed regeneratively, these landscapes can unlock gigaton scale carbon removal while strengthening ecosystems.
Soil carbon is one of the only carbon removals that simultaneously improves water retention and drought resilience, forage productivity, biodiversity and wildlife habitat, rural economic stability, and overall ecosystem resilience. This makes soil carbon a powerful tool for climate, nature, and community impact.
Carbon stored underground in deeper soil horizons is more stable and less prone to reversal than above ground or short term biomass solutions. When stored at depth, soil carbon can remain locked for centuries, continues to compound over time, and is supported by a robust century-long monitoring plan that ensures permanence.
Each verified Grassroots Carbon removal represents far more than carbon stored in the soil. These are working lands being restored, with healthier water systems, renewed biodiversity, and stronger rural communities made possible through regenerative ranching. This is real climate impact, rooted in measurable improvements across every acre.
Regenerative grazing dramatically improves soil structure and can increase water retention & infiltration by roughly 30–60%, with some ranches seeing even larger gains, depending on soil type, climate, and management.
Healthy grasslands support thriving populations of birds, pollinators, and native plants. Regenerative ranching restores habitat corridors, strengthens ecosystems, and helps reverse biodiversity loss across working lands.
Carbon stored in soil means healthier, more resilient grasslands. Improved soil structure supports deeper root systems and increased nutrient cycling.
Compensating ranchers directly for verified ecological outcomes strengthens local economies, sustains multi-generational ranching families, and helps rural communities prosper.
Regenerated grasslands are more resilient to drought, wildfire, and extreme weather events, protecting communities and infrastructure.
Healthier soils produce more nutrient-dense forage, supporting animal health and contributing to more sustainable food production systems.
At Roam Ranch, years of conventional management had degraded the soil so severely that a historic creek bed had disappeared.
Taylor and Katie Collins made a commitment to implement regenerative grazing practices designed to rebuild soil structure, deepen root systems, and increase water infiltration. Within just a few years, the transformation was remarkable. The creek’s headwaters began to flow again, with rainwater that once ran off compacted ground now soaking into living, healthy soils that recharge aquifers and revive the creek.
This is the promise of regenerative ranching: measurable, lasting change that strengthens both ecosystems and communities. Grassroots Carbon is proud to partner with exceptional ranchers like Taylor and Katie.
Grassroots Carbon has delivered large scale, third party verified carbon removal and is recognized as a leader in real, measurable climate outcomes. Every credit is backed by physical soil measurement and transparent independent verification, giving corporate partners confidence in proven impact.
Every carbon outcome is anchored by rigorous 1 meter deep soil samples supported by advanced data science. By combining direct measurement with high resolution soil mapping, PastureMap grazing insights, and ecosystem modeling, Grassroots Carbon delivers one of the most credible and transparent soil carbon removal offerings in the market.
Grassroots Carbon pays ranchers directly for measured outcomes and provides advance payments so they can participate with no out of pocket cost. This trust based model drives rapid adoption and has enabled partnerships with ranchers across 21 states and more than 1.7 million acres. Grassroots Carbon is scaling toward 50 million acres to unlock 100 million tons of carbon removal potential and create one of the largest nature based carbon removal opportunities in the United States.
Major companies across food, tech, aviation, real estate, and energy choose Grassroots Carbon for its transparency, scientific rigor, and proven delivery. Partners include Nestlé, Olipop, Microsoft, Shopify, and others who rely on Grassroots Carbon to meet their carbon goals.
Grassroots Carbon supports verification under leading protocols including Climate Action Reserve, Verra, Regenerative Standard, SBTi, GHG Protocol, and others. Grassroots Carbon is supported by research partnerships with groups such as Colorado State University and Noble Research Institute’s 3M project to ensure it remains at the forefront of scientific guidance and advancements.
