Key Takeaways
- ChrysaLabs has been officially validated by Bureau Veritas North America as compliant with Verra’s VM0042 v2.1 methodology.
- The validation confirms that ChrysaLabs’ proximal sensing approach meets international standards for soil organic carbon (SOC) measurement.
- This milestone enables lower-cost, scalable, Verra-aligned soil carbon data for carbon project developers.
- The validation supports faster deployment, improved cost-to-accuracy ratios, and stronger credit bankability.
- ChrysaLabs says the result marks a turning point for high-integrity carbon farming.
ChrysaLabs Achieves Verra-Aligned Validation for SOC Measurement
ChrysaLabs has received independent validation from Bureau Veritas North America, confirming its soil carbon measurement methodology complies with Verra’s VM0042 v2.1 standard for Improved Agricultural Land Management. The review also includes the methodology’s Appendix 4, which governs emerging technologies for soil organic carbon (SOC) measurement.
The validation demonstrates that direct-contact proximal sensing can satisfy strict international requirements traditionally met through laboratory analysis. It marks the first time an independent third party has validated this technological approach under VM0042.
ChrysaLabs Sets New Benchmark for Scalable Soil Carbon Data
With this validation, ChrysaLabs introduces a standards-aligned pathway to deliver Verra-compliant soil carbon data at significantly reduced cost. The model provides faster sampling, improved cost-to-accuracy ratios, and greater project scalability — all backed by third-party verification.
“This validation shows that next-generation soil sensing can deliver lab-grade rigour while accelerating the path to market,” said Samuel Fournier, CEO of ChrysaLabs. He noted that the milestone gives developers confidence to build measurable and verifiable projects that can scale with credibility.
Validation Increases Project Confidence and Bankability
For carbon project developers, the validation means that data generated through the technology can now be directly integrated into VM0042-aligned carbon projects. The approach meets the same scientific standards required for laboratory-based SOC measurements, allowing developers and landowners to rely on field-level data that supports accurate carbon credit issuance.
The validation recasts soil measurement from a high-cost barrier into a verifiable asset, improving bankability for carbon projects seeking scale and long-term integrity.
