At Nori, we believe in crafting our methodologies to ensure that our issued carbon removal credits are rigorously quantified, independently verified, and of high integrity — considering durability, transparency, and provenance. This blog post describes why we create our own open methodologies, publish them under a liberal Creative Commons license type, and how this aligns with our mission to build a transparent, trustworthy, and efficient marketplace that enables real climate solutions.
The current standards that dictate financial additionality for soil organic carbon (SOC) credits could be hampering the adoption and expansion of regenerative agriculture practices. How can this framework be improved? This blog post from Nori CEO, Matt Trudeau, and Director of Methodology, Rick Berg, explains how the standards and ratings around financial additionality (and durability) for soil organic carbon credits can evolve to better support farmers and help scale the carbon removal industry.
The durability of sequestered carbon, and credits designed to represent it, has gotten a lot of focus in discussions around the voluntary carbon dioxide removal (CDR) markets and emerging mandatory carbon markets. In this blog post, Nori's Rick Berg and Radhika Moolgavkar introduce durability curves; conditional probabilities that a given amount of CDR remains sequestered over time, to be used in improving evaluations of carbon removals.
Over the last few months, our team has been working to transform our visual brand to represent the evolution of our business and our vision for the future. Now, we’re excited to introduce our new look— one that balances the rigor of our work with the optimism that drives it.

Nori’s Carbon Removal Methodology R&D Lead, Rick Berg, writes about climate tipping elements, how they relate to “tipping points”, and the role that regenerative agriculture plays in mitigating climate change.
While carbon sequestration is a well-known advantage of regenerative agriculture — with the potential to help keep global heating within the 1.5-degree Celsius target — there are a multitude of other positive outcomes that make regen ag a critical climate investment today. In this blog post, read about how regen ag practices can help us restore soils, support biodiversity, improve air and water quality, and more.
Our Blended Carbon Removal Tonne concept combines immediate and long-term carbon storage for maximum climate impact — making a verifiable impact today that also lasts 1,000+ years.
