Boomitra Delivers 2.6 Million Soil Carbon Credits From Northern Mexico Grassland Project

Boomitra has sold and delivered 2.6 million soil carbon credits from its grassland restoration project in Northern Mexico. The credits, verified under Verra's VCS, represent completed purchases rather than future commitments. The project involves over 600 ranchers across 4.8 million acres in the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts, using rotational grazing and water conservation to boost soil carbon storage. The credits came from a 3.03 million credit issuance approved in February, with the majority now transferred to buyer accounts. Each credit equals one tonne of CO2 equivalent removed. Boomitra says payments are reaching ranchers, giving them income to reinvest in land restoration. The project holds an A rating from MSCI and a BBB from Sylvera, the highest for soil carbon projects from those agencies. This delivery marks a significant milestone for soil carbon markets, showing that large-scale agricultural projects can move verified credits to buyers. It also highlights the role of rancher networks in making such projects work on the ground.
