Protecting reputations 

Accurate soil carbon quantification, transparent and immutable blockchain ledger record, independent Registry governance and 3rd party verification combine to protect  the reputations of credit sellers and buyers. Accurate, transparent and verified to set the quality standard.

For Farmers

Soil is your core asset underpinning business performance and future land value.

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), is a key indicator of soil health, yield stability and business resilience.  Increasing SOC stocks increases availability of organic nutrients and water to improve yield resilience and protect gross margins.

We work with farmers and project developers to onward analyse existing sample data that meets minimum methodology standard. This allows the rapid onboarding of new projects onto our Regen Registry Protocol and potential retrospective credit issue for historic net-negative SOC gains.

What our farmers and partners think

“The unique thing about Ecometric is that their method is based on the comprehensive testing of our soils.
As a farmer I like to have an actual test result in my hand that shows that we have increased the carbon in our soils rather than just relying on a modelled approach.
As a land manager, trusted with doing the right thing for the Estate here and for our neighbouring landlord, it’s important to me that we go with the most robust Carbon testing and verification out there so there can be no doubting our results.”

Andrew Mahon

Farm Manager, The Bromborough Estate Company.

“Our aim at Marston Lodge is to balance food production with better soil and wildlife outcomes. Building healthier soil will increase our yields and at the same time sequester organic carbon, getting paid for this sequestration is a win-win.
We looked at various approaches to measuring soil carbon and found most were very complex. Keeping things simple, the measured, scientific and scrutinised approach of ecometric stood out from all the others.
Whilst the Ecometric approach is more expensive we felt it was well worth it for the certainty provided. The process has been very simple at our end, and we have found ecometric to be good listeners and very responsive.”

“After a full market review Ecometric stood out to us as the obvious choice when looking for a partner to explore soil carbon projects across our business. David’s knowledge and expertise are perfectly matched by the expert team he has put together to provide a scientifically robust service that also works in the “real world”! The service is seamless and the team are so easy to work with. They understand that plans change last minute because that’s the nature of farming, but they do whatever they can to assist, change plans and ultimately get the job done to a very high standard. It’s been a pleasure to work with and get to know the team at Ecometric.”

Our Process

Step One

PROJECT DESIGN

Project Plan writeup detailing historic management, future aims and spatial boundaries.

Step Two

BASELINE SOCS

Soil sampling, satellite imagery sourcing and AI analytics.

Step Three

SOCS CHANGE (+12 months)

1 Credit is issued for every 1 tCO₂e added to the soil more than is emitted by the production cycle.

Step Four

REGISTRY SUBMISION

Independent Registry audit & 3rd-Party Verification.

Step Five

CREDIT ISSUANCE

Credits issued on the Regen Registry blockchain ledger.

Step Six

CREDIT MARKETING AND SALE

Multiple sales channels, your control over timing and pricing.

Our unique and growing dataset tracks annual changes in soil carbon, management practices and GHG emissions, to evidence strategies that achieve genuine regeneration and resilience.

How to earn credits

Ecometric measures and reports SOC change and GHG emissions over a monitoring interval of 12-36 months (depending on system).  Reports and supporting metadata are submitted for independent Registry Review and on successful completion, 3rd party Verification.  Verified Credits are marketed and sold on your terms through our sales channels.

This combined protocol allows project farmers to concentrate on land management knowing that SOC measurement, reporting and audit are being carried out to the highest possible standards.  Cross-Project knowledge share accelerates the adoption of high performer strategies and identifies and mitigates key risks.

Why we stand out.

Farmer owned data and CREDITS

Fees are based on service and not commission.

Broad VCM access through multiple sales channels.

Farmer control of credit sale timing and terms.

3 years of sell-out experience as the ultimate proof of the system.

The Long Term Rewards

SOC increases reflect Improved soil structure, increased water infiltration and water holding and increased availability of nutrients and minerals, to improve yield and cashflow consistency.  Measured SOC gains are achieved by maintaining living roots and canopy, increasing plant species diversity, reducing cultivation and returning crop residue and organic manures to the soil. These practice combinations build water and nutrient reserves to reduce input costs, reduce GHG emissions and increase gross margins. Measuring your soil performance proves the effectiveness of practices fuelling a constant improvement cycle.

Annual SOCS monitoring to adapt management practices to a changing climate.

More accurate

Combining soil sampling, remote sensing and AI.

More frequent

Annual stock measurement to match your cropping cycle.

More TRUSTED

Registry Accredited Methodology, 4-year track record of independently verified Carbon Removal Credit sales.

More impactful

We deliver measured performance insights to drive constant land management improvement that benefits the farm, the climate and the planet as a whole.

Ecometric can hold Project Proponent and Project Developer roles to accelerate Project Registration or train you to immediately assume these responsibilities.

Putting you in control of
carbon credits

While the cost of a carbon crediting programme is often the only consideration, control is rarely factored.

Ecometric believe that the land custodian should have ownership of their data and control how the credits are used.

Our protocol is designed to give you complete freedom over the timing and terms of credit sale, allowing you to chose between insetting against your non agricultural business emissions or within the supply-chain or, selling as a carbon credit into the voluntary carbon market.

Whatever the choice, you can have the confidence that the verified climate claim underwritten by the credit meets the quality requirements of the most sophisticated of buyers.
