Boomitra Issues Record Verra-Verified Soil Carbon Credits

Boomitra announced the issuance of 3.03 million soil carbon credits from its Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project, marking the largest Verra-verified soil carbon project in history. The credits are now available to buyers seeking high-integrity carbon removal and represent a major milestone for soil carbon as a scalable climate solution.

The project operates across approximately 4 million acres of grasslands in Northern Mexico and is the first in North America to achieve verification under Verra’s VM0042 methodology, which is designed specifically for rigorous measurement of soil carbon removals. In addition to carbon removal, the project aims to reverse desertification, restore wildlife habitat, and improve long-term land productivity.

Boomitra Founder and CEO Aadith Moorthy said: “Soil carbon is no longer an ‘emerging’ solution. It’s here now, at scale, and meeting the highest standards of integrity while benefiting rural communities in the Global South.”
