InSoil, a European regenerative agriculture company, has entered a four-year agreement with Anew Climate, LLC to provide exclusive access to more than 500,000 independently verified soil carbon removals from InSoil’s Carbon Farming Programme in Lithuania. The project operates under Verra’s VCS VM0042 standard.
The partnership will make available soil carbon removals generated by Lithuanian farmers implementing regenerative agricultural methods such as cover cropping, diversified crop rotations, residue management, and conservation tillage. These techniques help lower greenhouse gas emissions and increase long-term carbon storage in soils.
Independent verification by SCS Global Services found that InSoil’s project has permanently sequestered an average of 2.27 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per hectare per year across nearly 20,000 hectares during its first monitoring period.
Roger Williams, Executive Vice President of Environmental Products at Anew Climate, said: “Expanding our portfolio with high-quality European soil carbon credits underscores Anew’s commitment to climate solutions that deliver more than just carbon sequestration. They not only deliver durable carbon credits for our customers but also support farmers adopting regenerative practices that improve soil health, biodiversity, and community resilience.”
Fernando Hierro Garcia, Head of Carbon at InSoil, said: “Soil, second only to oceans in its carbon-storing power, makes Europe’s farmers, who steward half the continent’s land, the cornerstone of the continent’s Net Zero goals. Through regenerative agriculture they can not only capture carbon but also build resilient food systems, restore ecosystems, and improve human health, provided they receive the financial and agronomic support InSoil is ready to deliver.”
InSoil’s Carbon Farming Programme applies 16 soil samples per 100 hectares to ensure a high level of sampling accuracy and verification. Participating farmers benefit from improved soil health, water quality and biodiversity, as well as revenue generated from the sale of carbon credits, which is shared directly with them to sustain regenerative practices.
InSoil plans to expand its work beyond Lithuania to support regenerative agriculture in Poland, Ukraine and other European regions.
