The Uganda dairy digester project (Waste to Fuel: Improving Agriculture and Livelihoods in Uganda) aims to curb greenhouse gas emissions while fostering tangible co-benefits for local communities. Over a 10-year period, the project plans to distribute small-scale digesters to over 10,000 farming households. These digesters will produce biofuel and organic fertilizer, leading to cost savings, […]
It can feel like the guidance on climate mitigation is constantly changing, like the goalposts are moving, and it’s hard to keep up. The good news is that the foundational principles are relatively simple. Bring capital to the highest-impact solutions you can. Size your capital investments based on the scale of both your emissions and […]

He and the Soils for the Future team conducted […]
The Northern Great Plains Regenerative Grazing Project is a HelpBuild™ project, meaning that companies are helping to catalyze climate action by purchasing tonnes upfront that will be produced from the project over time. The upfront investment provides needed financing to ranchers to help cover the costs of practice change. This project has a 20-year crediting […]
When developing soil carbon sequestration projects, a key question is: How do we ensure that the tonnes of carbon sequestered in the soil actually stay there? Soil carbon sequestration is a mechanism within a dynamic system of ecosystem processes and human decision-making – it is not as straightforward as, say, a MWh of solar energy […]
