DIT AgTech Achieves Verra Registration for Methane Reduction Project in Australia

DIT AgTech's methane reduction initiative is now officially registered under Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program.

Key Takeaways

  • DIT AgTech’s methane reduction initiative is now officially registered under Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program.
  • This marks the first Verra-certified project using water-based methane-reducing supplement delivery under methodology VM0041.
  • The project enables carbon credit claims for livestock producers using DIT AgTech’s uDOSE™ system.
  • The certification targets extensive grazing systems, covering the majority of Australia’s 27 million cattle.
  • International expansion is underway as DIT AgTech explores global applications for its approach.

DIT AgTech Registers Landmark Methane Reduction Project Under Verra Standard

DIT AgTech has announced the successful registration of its methane-reducing livestock project under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program administered by Verra. The project, developed for Australia, is the first globally to be certified under methodology VM0041 using a water-based supplement delivery system.

The registration grants producers the ability to claim carbon credits for methane reduction by utilizing DIT AgTech’s uDOSE™ technology, which administers methane-reducing additives via livestock water systems.

“This is a landmark achievement — not just for DIT AgTech, but for the livestock industry as a whole,” the company stated. “It provides a measurable, monitorable, and monetisable pathway to reduce emissions in extensive grazing systems.”


Scope and Impact Across Australia’s Livestock Industry

Australia’s extensive grazing systems account for over 90% of the lifecycle of its 27 million head of cattle. Methane emissions from these systems have traditionally been difficult to mitigate due to the logistical challenges of consistent supplement delivery in remote areas.

By leveraging the uDOSE™ system, DIT AgTech has introduced a practical method to reduce methane emissions and generate verified carbon credits at scale. The system operates effectively even in remote environments, making it well-suited for widespread adoption.

“Our uDOSE™ technology is proving that practical, scalable climate solutions are possible — even in the most remote parts of the country,” said the company.

The technology and methodology enable the issuance of carbon credits based on methane avoidance, offering a financial incentive for producers to adopt sustainable practices.


DIT AgTech Plans International Expansion

With Verra registration secured in Australia, DIT AgTech is preparing to lodge similar projects internationally. The announcement reflects the company’s broader ambition to lead in scalable, profitable climate solutions across global livestock systems.

The team credited with spearheading the registration — including Vivienne and Elieder — was recognized for their contributions in delivering what the company views as a major step forward in climate-aligned agriculture.

“We’re leading the charge to make sustainable agriculture both profitable and practical. Watch this space,” the announcement concluded.
