Pinwheel Expands Carbon-Removal Portfolio Through Agreena Partnership
Pinwheel, a corporate carbon and biodiversity platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Agreena to expand access to carbon-removal solutions based on regenerative agriculture. The collaboration aims to connect corporate climate strategies with farm-level practices that deliver measurable climate, environmental, and community outcomes.
As an initial step, Pinwheel retired 18,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) from Agreena’s verified soil-carbon removal programme on behalf of a major global client. The retirement of the credits ensures the climate benefit is permanent, traceable, and cannot be resold or double-counted.
Regenerative Agriculture at the Core of the Pinwheel–Agreena Collaboration
Soil-Carbon Removal With Environmental Co-Benefits
Agreena’s soil-carbon programme represents a category of carbon removal focused on drawing carbon from the atmosphere while improving agricultural systems. Beyond emissions reduction, the approach supports healthier soils, increased water retention, enhanced biodiversity, and more resilient farming operations.
These co-benefits align with Pinwheel’s framework for high-integrity climate action, which prioritizes solutions delivering both climate performance and broader ecological and social outcomes. The company introduced this approach at COP26 in Glasgow, emphasizing the role of nature-based solutions in long-term climate resilience.

Permanent Retirement of Verified Credits
According to the companies, the partnership emerged from a complex client mandate requiring a robust and diversified carbon-removal portfolio. Pinwheel and Agreena worked together to assess how regenerative agriculture-based credits could meet strict integrity and impact criteria.
The resulting credits have now been permanently retired, ensuring that the associated climate benefits are realized and transparently accounted for.
“Carbon removal is entering a new phase, defined by innovation and solutions that deliver far more than emissions reduction alone,” said Gavin Sheppard, CEO of Pinwheel. He noted that businesses are increasingly seeking solutions that combine multiple sustainability outcomes within a single investment.
Linking Corporate Climate Ambition With Farm-Level Impact
Simon Haldrup, CEO of Agreena, highlighted the role of partnerships in scaling regenerative practices. “Scaling regenerative agriculture requires connecting corporate ambition with farm-level reality,” he said, adding that the collaboration helps translate corporate climate investment into tangible improvements in soil health, biodiversity, and rural livelihoods.
Growing Demand for High-Integrity Carbon Removal
The partnership reflects broader momentum in the carbon-removal market, where companies are seeking solutions that combine verified climate impact with environmental and social value. By working with platforms such as Pinwheel, climate-ambitious organizations are increasingly able to support emerging carbon-removal approaches and help bring them to scale.
