Carbon Storage Framework
EcoBalance has developed a robust Soil Carbon Sequestration and Storage 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 are certified through a third-party registry and use verified carbon offsets in the Framework lifecycle analysis process. EBG facilitates the use of carbon offsets tied to products coming from the land (beef, lamb, cereal grains, etc.). The reduced carbon products enter the supply chain where they may result in a low or no carbon footprint product that can be directly tied back to the land it came from.
EcoBalance Global Livestock Program Overview
Program Description
Regenerative grazing coupled with the creation of soil-based carbon credits are the backbone of a unique program that provides a scientific methodology for producing carbon neutral livestock products that can be taken to the worldwide market and sold at a premium. Program positions the livestock and the ranches that produce them as a viable solution in the battle against climate change. Key consideration for program implementation is the premium products produced provides the ranch owner with a higher revenue stream, leading to a greater operating margin.
Regenerative Grazing Practices
The deployment of regenerative grazing practices are not only critical to the overall success of the proposed program but are a key component of breathing life back into the land itself. These practices are easily implemented and provide ranchers with the tools needed to improve grazing distribution and utilization, increase moisture management and drought resistance, produce higher quality forage and improve livestock health.
Soil-Based Carbon Storage
The grasslands themselves are quickly proving to be a very effective vehicle for storing carbon, providing a more reliable and scientifically validated carbon sequestration methodology than other more widely used options like reforestation. In addition to providing the carbon credits needed for the products the program also provides the rancher with a potential new revenue stream by taking the balance of the carbon credits remaining to the voluntary market for purchase by organizations as part of their overall sustainability strategy.

US Proof of Concept Project
EcoBalance Global completed our initial Proof of Concept on Open A Angus Ranch located in North Dakota that has been following regenerative grazing protocols since 2019, demonstrating that the framework outlined exists both in theory and practice. We have completed soil sampling, geospatial artificial intelligence, and all steps outlined in the established BCarbon methodology for soil-based carbon credit generation on approximately 22,000 acres, generating in excess of 11,000 carbon credits that have been verified and placed on the BCarbon Registry. EcoBalance Global is the first company worldwide to successfully deploy the framework and generate carbon credits on an accredited registry. We also successfully sold our EcoSmart sustainable beef product to a hospitality group in Dubai, taking the Proof of Concept through the complete supply chain.
