You’ve probably heard about carbon credits as a way to increase revenue as a farmer. They’ve been around for almost 30 years, but only in the last few years have they become more talked about in agriculture.

A carbon credit is equal to 1 tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Taking action to reduce emissions or remove CO2e from the atmosphere generates these credits, and they can be sold to buyers who want to offset their emissions.

Farms have multiple ways to generate these credits by adapting existing practices and implementing new ones, all whilst maintaining yields. 

A carbon credit project is designed to reduce the creation of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon reduction) or to increase carbon storage (carbon removals). Farmers can generate carbon credits by adopting specific farming practices that either store more carbon in the soil and plants (like planting cover crops or reducing tillage) or by reducing emissions (such as through efficient use of fertilisers). 

BX offers 2 types of carbon credit projects: soil and biochar creation.

1. Sign up to the BX platform
   
   Join BX and we’ll assess the current carbon levels in your soil. This gives us a baseline to measure your progress.
   
   
2. Implement regenerative practices
   
   Use methods like cover cropping, reduced tillage, or adding compost to increase the carbon stored in your soil. We’ll help you choose the best practices for your farm.
   
   
3. Monitor and verify
   
   We’ll track your progress and an independent verifier will check the results to ensure accuracy.
   
   
4. Generate carbon credits
   
   As your soil stores more carbon, you’ll generate carbon credits. Each carbon credit represents one tonne of CO2e stored.
   
   
5. Get paid
   
   BX will sell these carbon credits on your behalf. You get paid, and BX takes a small commission.
   
   
6. Keep improving
   
   Continue using and refining these practices to generate more credits and make your farm more sustainable.

1. Sign up to the BX platform
   
   Join BX and start to gain insights from your digital farm.
   

    

2. Baseline your existing practices
   
   Provide evidence of your current waste management practices.
   
   

3. Plan your project
   
   Decide which areas are being removed and provide information to BX. BX then estimates your potential earnings.
   
   
4. Biochar generation
   
   BX will arrange for chipping and transport of materials. We’ll weigh your trees and confirm the number of credits to be generated. 
   
   
5. Monitor and verify
   
   We track the amount of biochar produced. An independent verifier checks the data to ensure the biochar meets quality standards and the carbon content is accurately measured.
   

    

6. Generate and sell credits
   
   Each tonne of biochar produced and stored can generate carbon credits. BX sells these credits on your behalf to companies that want to offset their emissions.
   

    

7. Earn more revenue
   
   

   You can earn up to $500 per acre from biochar credits. This is in addition to the benefits biochar provides to your soil, like improved fertility and water retention.

Yes, but some soil practices may not be compatible with biochar projects. Contact us at farmer@bx.tech to find out what is best for you.

We collect emissions data once a year and verify soil carbon levels at least once every five years through soil sampling.

BX sells your carbon credits to companies and organisations that need to balance out their carbon emissions. These buyers include:

• Corporations with sustainability goals
• Industries with legal emission requirements
• Organisations and individuals supporting green initiatives
• Supply chain partners reducing their product’s carbon footprint

The demand for these high-quality agricultural carbon credits is growing as more companies work to meet their environmental goals.

BX is the only company offering carbon credits for tree fruit and hops farms. By generating credits with BX, farmers can improve their BX Score, which not only boosts their revenue from carbon credits but also increases their crop pricing power and helps predict yield improvements.

• Specialised for agriculture
  Tailored projects for orchards, vineyards, and hops.
  

• High-value credits
  Earn more from high-quality removal credits.
  

• Better financial terms
  Up to $500 per acre for biochar credits and no commission with BX Pro.
  

• Verified and trustworthy
  All credits are verified under strict standards (soil carbon credits use VM0042 methodology and VMD0053 quantification).
  
  
• Flexible options
  Choose from various practices to generate more credits.
