Grassroots Carbon

Grasslands soil carbon management for ranchers

Overview

Grassroots Carbon helps ranchers implement regenerative land-management practices on U.S. grasslands to increase soil carbon. Its offerings are grounded in scientific rigor and trusted to help major companies address carbon reduction goals by purchasing or commissioning grassland carbon removal. The company’s core product is a program that partners with ranchers to adopt regenerative practices, with measurement and verification to quantify soil carbon changes and support corporate buyers in achieving verifiable carbon removal. What sets Grassroots Carbon apart is its specialization in grasslands and soil carbon, its direct work with ranchers, and its proven track record with large customers like Microsoft, Marathon Oil, HEB, Shopify, and Nestlé. The overall goal is to scale regenerative land management across U.S. grasslands to deliver verifiable carbon removal while supporting ranchers economically and sustainably.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Boeing bought 40,000 tons in April 2026, validating enterprise demand.
  • Grassroots Carbon hit 1.9 million tons removed and 1.5 million retired credits in January 2026.
  • CSU consortium work in February 2026 strengthens modeling and future MRV defensibility.

What critics are saying

  • Carbon-credit demand depends on Boeing, Microsoft, and Chevron continuing purchases in 2026.
  • Verification complexity across EarthOptics, PatternAg, Comite Resources, and AEI slows issuance and raises costs.
  • Soil-carbon permanence scrutiny can crush credit prices and stall rancher adoption by 2027.

What makes Grassroots Carbon unique

  • 1-meter soil cores plus GroundOwl EMI mapping beat 30-centimeter industry standards.
  • PastureMap ties carbon measurement to ranch operations, not just offset issuance.
  • Grassroots Carbon spans 2.2 million acres across 22 states with rancher-first workflows.

Grassroots Carbon launches GroundOwl soil carbon measurement tech with EarthOptics

Grassroots Carbon has launched GroundOwl, a soil carbon measurement technology developed with EarthOptics, which will be exclusively deployed across US grasslands and grazing lands. The system uses advanced electromagnetic sensors to scan soils up to one metre deep without disturbing land, producing high-resolution maps of soil properties including soil organic carbon. GroundOwl complements Grassroots Carbon's existing one-metre-deep soil sampling programme, which already measures three times deeper than the industry standard of 30 centimetres. The technology provides continuous, landscape-scale insights between sampling cycles, offering a more comprehensive view of soil carbon distribution across ranches. The system will integrate with Grassroots Carbon's PastureMap platform, giving ranchers field-level visibility into soil carbon patterns to support grazing decisions and land management practices.
