Regen Registry Credit Protocols

The Regenerative Standard is a family of multiple protocols authored by scientists focused on regeneration and restoration of ecosystems, including working lands. This document is focused on The Regenerative Soil Organic Carbon Methodology, the first protocol (method) available under The Regenerative Standard (TRS).

Empowering local communities to restore degraded marine ecosystems and report biodiversity uplift. The primary goal of this protocol is to enable small-scale, locally-led projects to operate with minimal investment while incorporating the latest science in marine biodiversity. Restoration, monitoring and reporting protocols are designed to be achievable by Project Partners at this scale with minimal outside investment.

The Biodioversity Credits protocol outlines a strategic framework for the development of projects that guarantee quantifiable gains in biodiversity, all while providing robust financial and legal assurances to secure their sustainability and enduring impact.

This protocol focuses on soil carbon sequestration and storage in regenerative cropping and managed grassland ecosystems.

This crediting protocol uses umbrella species (ex. jaguars, mandrils, elephants) as an indicator for ecosystem health, providing a holistic assessment of ecological-state indicators and practice-based indicators to incentivize the maintenance of conservation areas.

Sheep Grazing in Vinyard Systems

Kulshan Carbon Trust developed this credit class to support small scale biochar production in the Pacific Northwest.

The credit class and its accompanying methodology provide farmers with a measuring and monitoring process for soil organic carbon sequestration in regenerative grazing systems, enabling them to generate carbon credits that also include robust ecological co-benefits such as water infiltration and biodiversity.The credit class and its accompanying methodology provide farmers with a measuring and monitoring process for soil organic carbon sequestration in regenerative grazing systems, enabling them to generate carbon credits that also include robust ecological co-benefits such as water infiltration and biodiversity.The credit class and its accompanying methodology provide farmers with a measuring and monitoring process for soil organic carbon sequestration in regenerative grazing systems, enabling them to generate carbon credits that also include robust ecological co-benefits such as water infiltration and biodiversity.

The CarbonPlus Grasslands credit is designed to significantly increase the amount of hectares regeneratively grazed worldwide. The methodology relies on remote sensing to substantially reduce the cost of monitoring carbon sequestration while maintaining location-based scientific rigor.
