Verde AgriTech Partners with UNDO on ERW Carbon Credits

Verde AgriTech secures Brazilian patent for bio-enriched fertilizer process, advancing sustainable farming and expanding its IP portfolio.

Key Takeaways

  • Verde AgriTech has signed an exclusive agreement with UNDO Carbon to develop and commercialize carbon removal credits through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) in Brazil.
  • The partnership leverages Verde’s glauconitic siltstone and agricultural operations with UNDO’s ERW measurement and verification expertise.
  • The collaboration could enable the removal of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of CO₂.
  • This marks Verde’s first structured entry into the carbon credit market, complementing its existing fertilizer business.
  • Both companies gain strategic advantages, including secure ERW feedstock, MRV capabilities and agricultural deployment capacity.

Verde AgriTech Enters ERW Carbon Credit Market Through UNDO Partnership

Verde AgriTech has entered an exclusive agreement with UNDO Carbon Ltd. to create, deploy and commercialize durable carbon removal credits generated from Enhanced Rock Weathering activities in Brazil. The partnership will combine Verde’s glauconitic siltstone mineral and agricultural reach with UNDO’s proprietary MRV technologies to support large-scale ERW deployment on farmland.

UNDO specializes in spreading crushed silicate rock on agricultural land to accelerate natural weathering and improve soil health. The companies expect the framework to enable significant carbon removal volumes if fully executed.

Jim Mann, CEO and Founder of UNDO, said the collaboration provides “a blueprint for scaling durable carbon removal” by combining complementary strengths.


Verde AgriTech Establishes New Revenue Stream in Agriculture

This agreement formally launches Verde’s participation in the ERW carbon credit market. By integrating UNDO’s measurement, reporting and verification tools with its existing fertilizer and soil-enhancement operations, Verde aims to generate high-quality, verifiable carbon credits aligned with leading ERW methodologies.

CEO Cristiano Veloso noted that the partnership “creates a clear path to turn Verde’s Enhanced Rock Weathering activities into a scalable revenue stream.”


ERW Deployment Supports Agriculture and Climate Objectives

UNDO has already spread more than 313,800 tonnes of silicate rock across nearly 400 farms globally, enriching over 54,000 acres of agricultural land. These activities are expected to remove approximately 69,000 tonnes of CO₂ across three continents. Backing from companies such as Microsoft, Barclays, British Airways and McLaren supports further scale.

Brazil’s vast agricultural footprint positions Verde to deploy ERW widely, leveraging mineral processing, transport, spreading and field operations integrated into its existing agronomic network.


Mutual Benefits Strengthen Commercial and Agricultural Execution

The agreement outlines clear advantages for both companies:

Benefits to Verde AgriTech:

  • Access to UNDO’s ERW project design and execution capabilities
  • Proprietary MRV platform and protocols
  • Access to carbon credit buyers and established market channels
  • Framework to monetize ERW feedstock applied to Brazilian farmland

Benefits to UNDO Carbon:

  • Reliable long-term source of glauconitic siltstone for ERW
  • Operational support for crushing, hauling, spreading and soil sampling
  • Access to Verde’s agricultural customer network
  • Local agronomic and climate expertise

Issues Warrants to UNDO as Part of the Agreement

Verde will grant up to 1.7 million share purchase warrants to UNDO. Vesting is tied to carbon credit sales at defined price thresholds and cumulative revenue targets, with warrants exercisable for three years under TSX-compliant terms.


Verde AgriTech Expands Agricultural Sustainability Strategy

The collaboration represents Verde’s first formal step toward monetizing ERW as a commercial and agronomic service. It aligns with the company’s existing operations in soil fertility while establishing a new, complementary carbon-based revenue stream.

Both companies aim to scale ERW across Brazil’s agricultural landscape, generating environmental benefits alongside enhanced farm productivity and long-term carbon removal.
