Nufarm teams with ChrysaLabs to quantify soil carbon sequestration via carinata

In Canada, Nufarm is excited to announce its collaboration with ChrysaLabs to support the quantification of soil carbon sequestration benefits associated with Nufarm’s expansion of its Carinata production in South America. Carinata is a key crop in Nufarm’s bioenergy portfolio, delivering renewable biofuel feedstocks that enable the production of low-carbon fuels and materials for difficult-to-decarbonize sectors such as the aviation industry. Together, Nufarm and ChrysaLabs are pioneering an innovative approach to measuring and verifying actual soil carbon sequestration utilizing a combination of improved agricultural management practices and rotations that include Nufarm Carinata as an intermediate crop (i.e., planted in between primary crop production seasons).

By offering end-to-end carbon measurement, verification, and project management, ChrysaLabs offers a fully integrated solution that is expected to eventually deliver significantly lower costs and to enable true scaling—an achievement rarely seen in the carbon market. ChrysaLabs’ technologically advanced Direct Contact Proximal Sensing, combined with a uniquely adaptable approach to project execution, is expected to ensure that every aspect of the carbon cycle will be accurately captured, verified, and monetized.

Nufarm’s planned expansion will target the many available hectares that can benefit from this intermediate cover crop. By cultivating crops such as Nufarm Carinata for biofuel, the project has the potential to create a seamless carbon-to-carbon cycle, seeking to sequester atmospheric carbon back into the soil while delivering measurable and real-world climate benefits.
