We transform farmland into carbon capture centers. 🌎 🌾 🚜

About us

We remove atmospheric carbon for a fraction of the cost while increasing crop yields. Our process is highly efficient, increases soil health, and repurposes post-industrial waste. Then we sell the carbon credits to companies and split revenue with our regenerative growers. With a world-class team leveraging expertise in soil chemistry, agronomy, geochemistry, machine learning, and logistics, we are engineering the most cost-effective, and scientifically rigorous solution to enhanced rock weathering at scale. 🌎 🌾 🚜

    Carbon removal at scale depends on solutions grounded in natural chemistry. Based in the Bay Area, Lithos Carbon spreads finely ground volcanic rock across farmland, where natural chemical reactions help form stable bicarbonate stored in the ocean for thousands of years, with Microsoft supporting the measurement and verification needed to scale the work. Healthier soils, stronger yields, and durable carbon storage feel like progress worth growing.

    Lithos Carbon has successfully issued 5,160 registry-certified tons of carbon dioxide removal — the largest enhanced rock weathering (ERW) issuance to date, roughly 7 times larger than any prior issuance in the category. These credits were generated in partnership with farmers across North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Michigan, using domestically sourced, nutrient-rich rock dust applied directly to working farmland. This milestone demonstrates that ERW can scale while maintaining rigorous scientific standards — and deliver tangible benefits in the field. Participating growers saw improvements to soil pH management and nutrient availability, reduced input costs versus traditional soil amendments, all while contributing to environmental health. The delivery has also created dozens of American jobs across quarrying, hauling, field application, and scientific monitoring, with plans to expand rapidly as demand for permanent carbon removal grows. Every ton is tracked from application through multi-thousand-year storage using robust measurement and monitoring protocols, ensuring removals are real, measurable, additional, and durable — turning proven science into impact at scale. 🌱🚜
