EcoBalance Global is a US based carbon reduction project developer, consultant, and carbon program manager. We utilize our relationships with the farmers and ranchers who produce agricultural products, and landowners to develop projects that biologically enhance their soil, sequester and store carbon, as well as increase vegetative production.

EcoBalance Global has developed a robust Soil Carbon Storage and Sequestration Framework (Framework) to assist the agriculture industry at large in lowering their carbon footprint. The Framework employs methodologies and procedures to address the diverse environmental requirements for farms and ranches around the world. Through the Framework, we can increase carbon removal and storage rates that we are able to certify through a third-party registry and use verified carbon insets in the Framework life cycle analysis process. We facilitate the use of carbon insets tied to products coming from the land such as beef, lamb, cereal grains, etc. The carbon reduced products enter the supply chain where they may be counted towards Science Based Target Initiatives (SBTi) goals resulting in a low or no carbon footprint product that can be directly tied back to the land it came from.

EcoBalance Global leverages advanced technology, satellite data in conjunction with physical measurements, and digital animal tracking to meet the rigorous requirements of the carbon registries. We then tie it all together with an end-to-end software platform and blockchain tracking, providing transparency and legitimacy to every step of the process. The design of the Framework avoids double counting, provides transparency, and involves stakeholders and key third-party verifiers to facilitate an open forum to address any claims that may be present in today’s market to proactively address legal, scientific, or procedural concerns. The result is a high value-added quality product that rewards the stewards of the resources for excellent management and provides distributors with a product that they can have complete confidence in.
