Large Scale Ecological Restoration Through Carbon Farming
Our Mission:
To reverse climate change as the leader in ecological restoration of degraded grasslands by dramatically enhancing soil health, improving land productivity, and naturally reducing atmospheric carbon on an unprecedented scale.
Our Goal:
To create a financially sustainable, high-integrity program and credits based on rigorous soil science, proven ranching practices, and reporting.
ADDITIONAL • TRANSPARENT • PERMANENT
Through beneficial, long term agreements with ranchers, farmers and California’s largest compost producers, CoolPath is positioned to accelerate carbon sequestration through the implementation of large-scale regenerative practices focusing on restoring degraded range and grassland soil health.
Leveraging advanced science and an extensive network of partners, we aim to drastically cut our clients' carbon footprints and combat climate change, promising a profound effect on ecological health, biodiversity, and increased grassland health and agricultural productivity.
Ranching Partnerships;
Measurable Results
By working hand-in-hand with ranchers and farmers we build upon and amplify the effects of their decades of soil conservation practices such as prescribed, rotational grazing and crop rotation. As we sink more and more carbon into the soil, the health of the soil improves which increases its water-holding capacity and nutrient-holding capacity. This directly helps rejuvenate their rangelands and restore the balance of our planet's ecosystem using the power of nature.
These restoration practices increase the productivity of the land. Plant growth is likely to increase by up to 30% which will result in greater productive resources for cattle, wildlife, birds, reptiles and more.
CoolPath provides financially sustainable solutions to help decarbonize the critical agriculture and food sectors, while also restoring and preserving natural habitats.
CoolPath's 4 methodology pillars:
Carbon Farming
Regenerative Ag Practices
Natural Habitat Solutions
Working Land Ranches
CHALLENGE #1
The lack of access to large volumes of high-quality compost.
CoolPath, with Agromin's support, addresses the lack of high-quality compost by utilizing advanced composting technologies and extensive agricultural networks. This partnership ensures the production and availability of large volumes of premium compost, essential for effective carbon farming and soil health enhancement.
CHALLENGE #2
The expense of processing, transporting and applying compost on a large scale
To overcome the challenges of compost processing, transportation, and application costs, CoolPath leverages Agromin's innovative approaches and infrastructure. By optimizing logistics and using efficient application methods, they make large-scale compost use economically viable for carbon farming projects.
CoolPath, with its strategic partners, has built the capacity to overcome both of these challenges.
The opportunity to create a large carbon sink utilizing degraded rangeland has faced two critical challenges:
Delivering Verifiable Climate Results
1
Certification of climate reduction outcomes through VERRA’s Verified Carbon Standard Program – the world’s most widely used GHG crediting program.
2
This rigorous process ensures that the carbon reductions are “real, measurable, additional, permanent, independently verified, conservatively estimated and transparently listed.” (VERRA.org).
3
Additional value is awarded to projects which emphasize and document benefits to biodiversity and socio-economic factors which align closely with CoolPath’s carbon projects.
