The Soil Carbon Method, the first release of a family of standards under The Regenerative Standard “The Standard” describes how carbon drawdown credits can be generated through nature-based, atmospheric carbon drawdown and soil carbon storage related to conservation, ecosystem restoration, and agricultural projects. It also applies to other projects where the management of soils directly or indirectly through management of hydrology, livestock, soil fertility, and plant diversity and productivity can improve soils, reduce erosion, and promote soil carbon storage.
The Standard ensures the delivery of high-quality, carbon removal credits, based on rigorous soil sampling, laboratory analysis, and independent third-party verification. To meet these objectives, the Standard combines best practices, rigor, and approaches from published work, and has been informed by several existing standards, including Verra, ISO, Climate Action Reserve, BCarbon, and guidelines from theIPCC 2003 Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry
