The carbon removal revolution starts here.

Nori's Carbon Removal Marketplace is the start of a movement towards more transparent, verifiable carbon markets. You can view our project listings and sales data here.

Nori makes it easy for farmers to get paid for storing carbon in soil.

When you buy carbon removals in the Nori Marketplace, you are not only negating your carbon footprint, you are helping start an entire market for carbon removal! Here's how it works...

1

Farmers remove carbon.

By using sustainable farming practices, farmers remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their soil.

2

Verifiers quantify removals.

Carbon removals are quantified and verified by an independent third party before being listed in the marketplace.

Interested in being a verifier?

3

You pay for removals.

You pay the farmer for ownership of their carbon removals, and receive a certificate from Nori to prove it.

Storing carbon in soil is low cost, high impact carbon removal.

Decades of industrial agriculture have depleted our soil of essential nutrients and carbon. When farmers adopt regenerative practices, they are returning carbon to their soils and keeping it there. These practices also improve the soil health, lower the use of chemical fertilizers, reduces pollution, and makes the fields more drought resistant.

What people are saying.

Don't just take our word for it. See what people have to say about removing carbon with Nori.

As a parent of a young family, I am increasingly aware of the potential damage caused to our global environment by my actions as a consumer, and that I have a responsibility to help reverse that damage for future generations.

We’re not doing this alone.

Nori's market is an open source solution for climate change.

Anyone can view and provide feedback on our methodology.

We are partnered with COMET-Farm, a USDA-approved method for quantifying carbon removals in soils.

We collaborate with agriculture software platforms like Granular to make it easy for farmers like Trey to join in the the Nori Marketplace.

We're a member of the Techstars Sustainability Cohort with the Nature Conservancy providing world-class mentorship and experts.

FAQ

What is a carbon removal?

A carbon removal represents one tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) that has been removed from the atmosphere for a minimum of 10 years. Farmers like Trey can register their carbon removals on the Nori marketplace, where they can sell directly to individuals and organizations seeking to pay for ownership of the carbon removed from the atmosphere. This way, anyone can participate in reversing climate change.

What will I get for purchasing carbon removals?

Along with the legendary status of being a carbon removal hero, you’ll receive a digital certificate of ownership for the carbon removals you paid for. This certificate will show the amount of carbon removals, the farmer and fields where the carbon was stored, and any additional information provided by the farm. All these records are registered permanently on a blockchain database, so you will always have proof of your purchase.

What does my money go to?

100% of each tonne you pay for goes directly to supporting Trey at Harborview Farms, while Nori collects a 15% transaction fee to help keep the marketplace running. This not only rewards Trey for his sustainable farming practices, but provides further incentives for him and other sustainable farmers to provide even more carbon removals in the future.

How can I trust that the carbon removals are real?

Nori works with independent, third party verifiers with experience and accreditation working on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction projects. Farmers are paired with a verifier to review their carbon removal data and supply any additional evidence required, and the verifier submits a report of their findings to Nori. When sold, every certificate of carbon removal will be attached with a copy of this report.

How do you know how much carbon a supplier has removed?

Nori partners with COMET-Farm, a team funded by the USDA and Colorado State University, in order to model how much carbon was removed by comparing their sustainable practices to their previous farming methods. This Greenhouse Gas accounting tool runs thousands of scenarios to determine within a reasonable level of confidence how much carbon a farmer has stored in their soils, and is one of the simplest and most accurate methods for counting carbon removals available today.

Do you offer refunds?

We do not. When you purchase carbon removals (NRTs), retirement of the NRTs is immediate and your certificate is permanently recorded on the blockchain. The carbon removals can not be unretired or resold.

How do you prevent double counting?

When you purchase carbon removals from Nori, they are retired immediately and the retirement along with the location of retirement is recorded on blockchain (an immutable public ledger). This ensures that your removals cannot be sold again and that no one other than you can take credit for removing the carbon represented in you certificate.
