BESPOKE DOCUMENTATION & EXPERT ADVICE
Need help with carbon auditing?
We can help you with all aspects of carbon auditing from data collection and inputting, right through to calculating your carbon footprint and providing recommendations and mitigations unique to your business and enterprises. We also offer a service to help farmers and landowners safely secure income from carbon credits.
Taking control of your farm's carbon emissions
It is estimated that the agricultural sector is responsible for producing nearly 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) in the UK. In response to this, the NFU has set the ambitious goal of reaching net zero across the whole of agriculture in England and Wales by 2040.
For farmers and landowners to reach this goal, they will need to be aware of their contribution to the industry’s carbon footprint which identifies the quantity and source of greenhouse gas emissions associated with an activity or a product through its lifecycle. The carbon footprint of a farm is calculated by carrying out a carbon audit which can also be used to highlight aspects of the business that are emitting the highest levels of emissions. Farms with a low carbon footprint are often the most efficient and profitable and a carbon audit will also make a supplier much more appealing to carbon focused buyers or assuring bodies such as LEAF.
How we can help
As farming businesses are varied and cover a wide range of enterprises, we offer the following service packages which are designed to suit all agricultural enterprises and budgets:
1. Carbon calculation only
A straightforward calculation of your carbon footprint, that will provide you with the figures and data to show what your carbon emissions currently are. This won’t include any additional information or recommendations on how to improve your carbon emissions.
2. Full carbon audit
A full audit of your enterprises including:
- A calculation to show what your current carbon emissions are
- Benchmark data relevant to your business enterprises and farming techniques
- Recommendations on how to improve your carbon footprint with mitigations for each emissions category, or suggestions on how to sequester more carbon
3. Safe, traceable, high-integrity carbon credits
To help agricultural enterprises safely secure income from carbon credits, we have partnered with Ecometric and Indigro to create safe, traceable, high-integrity carbon credits that put the farmer or landowner first.
Projects focus on capturing and storing more carbon in the soil than what is released during the crop’s life and management cycle, aiming to raise soil organic carbon levels annually. Carbon credits issued through this high-integrity system are independently verified and have consistently achieved a price premium during three years of credit sales to sophisticated buyers.
- Full carbon calculations to calculate annual farm emissions and sequestration
- On-farm carbon emissions off-set first
- Partnered with Ecometric and Indigro
- Soil carbon increased through management practices
- Saleable credits sold at your discretion
- Experienced and knowledgeable team
