Promoting Climate-friendly Agriculture

Bio.SoilZPromoting Climate-friendly Agriculture

Bio.SoilZ plays a vital role in accelerating carbon sequestration by significantly enhancing soil microbial activity. Through its innovative approach, Bio.SoilZ fosters a thriving ecosystem of microorganisms within the soil, leading to a remarkable increase in carbon absorption. This ground-breaking innovation not only enriches the soil but also contributes substantially to mitigating climate change by promoting sustainable carbon storage.

1. CARBON CREDITS

Carbon credits can  provide an alternative income stream for farmers. Agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly through livestock production and  use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. However, farmers can also play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and sequestering carbon through sustainable farming practices such as avoiding the use of chemical fertilizers, conservation tillage, cover cropping and agroforestry.

By implementing these practices, farmers can generate carbon credits that can be sold to companies or individuals looking to offset their own emissions. The process of generating carbon credits involves quantifying the amount of carbon sequestered or emissions reduced and getting those credits verified by a third-party organization. Once verified, these credits can be sold on the carbon market, providing farmers with a potential new revenue stream.

Carbon credits are a key component of international and national emissions trading schemes to mitigate climate change. The basic idea behind carbon credits is to incentivize companies and organizations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Carbon credits are official documents indicating the amount of carbon emissions that have been prevented or eliminated from the environment.

A carbon credit signifies a verified unit of emissions that can be traded. Each credit symbolizes the prevention or removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions, in comparison to the baseline emissions.

2. REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AGRICULTURE

Agricultural activities contribute approximately 30 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions, mainly due to the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and animal wastes. This percentage is poised to rise further due to an increase in the demand for food by a growing global population.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is essential for mitigating climate change.

3. HOW DO CARBON CREDITS BENEFIT FARMERS?

By adopting sustainable farming practices, farmers can significantly enhance their profitability. Through methods that improve yield quality, expand acreage, and promote soil health, farmers not only bolster their agricultural output but also contribute to environmental conservation. Additionally, they can generate extra income by participating in carbon credit programs, incentivizing them to continue eco-friendly practices. This dual benefit not only sustains their livelihoods but also helps protect our planet for future generations.

4. CARBON CREDITING MECHANISM

Carbon credits are a key component of national and international emissions trading schemes that have been established to mitigate global warming. Here’s how they generally work:

a. Carbon Emissions and Reductions:

  • Carbon Emissions: Companies and organizations emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere through their operations. These emissions contribute to climate change.
  • Carbon Reductions: Certain projects, like renewable energy initiatives or afforestation (planting trees), reduce or remove an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These are termed carbon reduction projects.

b. Certification and Verification:

  • Certification: Independent organizations certify these carbon reduction projects.
  • Verification: The reduction in emissions is rigorously verified. This involves detailed analysis and monitoring to confirm that the project is delivering the reductions it claims to achieve.

c. Carbon Credits Issuance:

  • Issuance: Once a reduction is verified, the project receives a specific number of carbon credits, also known as Carbon offsets or Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). Each credit represents one metric ton of CO2 equivalent that has been prevented from entering the atmosphere or removed from the atmosphere.

d. Trading and Compliance:

  • Trading: These credits can be bought and sold on international markets. Companies that have exceeded their emission quota can buy credits from those who have a surplus.
  • Compliance: In some countries and regions, companies are legally obligated to offset a certain percentage of their emissions. They can do this by purchasing carbon credits. This is often part of government efforts to reduce overall emissions.

e. Offsets and Climate Change Mitigation:

  • Offsetting Emissions: Companies can use these purchased credits to offset their own emissions, effectively balancing their carbon footprint.
  • Climate Change Mitigation: The overall effect is a reduction in the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. This reduction contributes to mitigating climate change.

5. CREATION AND PURCHASE OF CARBON CREDITS

Carbon credits are created through various initiatives and projects aimed at reducing or capturing greenhouse gas emissions. These projects are typically implemented in sectors such as renewable energy, forestry, methane capture, and energy efficiency. When these projects result in reduced emissions, they are certified and issued carbon credits, also known as carbon offsets, by recognized standards organizations such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) or the Gold Standard.

Here’s a breakdown of the key players involved in the creation and purchase of carbon credits:

Creation of Carbon Credits:

  1. Project Developers: These are organizations or entities that develop and implement projects aimed at reducing or capturing greenhouse gas emissions. These projects can include renewable energy installations (like wind or solar farms), reforestation initiatives, methane capture from landfills, or energy efficiency projects in industries.
  2. Certification Bodies: Independent certification bodies, such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) or the Gold Standard, validate and verify the emission reduction activities of the projects. They ensure that these projects meet specific criteria and standards before issuing carbon credits.
  3. Registries: Once certified, the carbon credits are registered in public or private registries. Registries keep track of the ownership and transactions of carbon credits, providing transparency and ensuring the integrity of the carbon market.

Purchase of Carbon Credits:

  1. Corporations: Many corporations, especially those with corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals or sustainability targets, buy carbon credits to offset their own emissions. This is often part of their overall environmental strategy to reduce their carbon footprint.
  2. Governments: Some governments purchase carbon credits as part of their efforts to meet international climate agreements or to offset emissions from government operations.
  3. Individuals: Some individuals and businesses voluntarily buy carbon credits to offset their personal or business-related carbon emissions. Carbon offset platforms facilitate these transactions, allowing individuals to invest in environmental projects to compensate for their own carbon footprint.
  4. Financial Institutions and Investors: Financial institutions and investors often engage in the carbon market as a form of investment. They buy carbon credits as assets, which can be traded or held for future value.
  5. International Compliance Markets: In some regions, there are compliance markets where companies buy carbon credits to comply with regulatory requirements on emissions reductions. The compliance market operates under government regulations and allows companies to purchase carbon credits to meet their emission reduction targets.

6. ROLE OF Bio.SoilZ IN ENHANCING CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND GENERATION OF CARBON CREDITS

The role of soil microorganisms in terrestrial ecosystems is crucial, particularly in the process of carbon sequestration, which involves removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil and vegetation. Soil microorganisms contribute significantly to this process, but due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers for over 80 years, many of these microbes are either dead, sick, or inactive. The chemicals present in these fertilizers and pesticides have severely harmed soil microbiology.

Our innovative technology  is addressing this serious issue by activating soil microorganisms through the infusion of bio-energy in the soil. The Bio-energy is produced at a specific frequency in the form of catalytic impulses which is infused into the soil to re-activate soil microbes. Unlike the current scenario where the soil microbes are suppressed, our technology stimulates these microorganisms to an extent where their efficiency multiplies several times over. Bio.SoilZ accelerates the carbon sequestration process significantly by reviving and enhancing the activity of these microorganisms in the soil that leads to the generation of additional carbon credits, contributing to a more sustainable future.

At Bio.SoilZ, we collaborate with global initiatives and project development companies dedicated to curbing greenhouse gas emissions, uplifting local communities, and safeguarding biodiversity.
