Cool Effect has expanded its superpollutant portfolio by partnering with Mitti Labs to tackle methane emissions from rice cultivation. This initiative focuses on high-integrity carbon credits that support both climate goals and farmer livelihoods in India. By targeting superpollutants, the partnership aims to achieve significant near-term climate impacts. This move strengthens the availability of credits specifically designed to reduce potent greenhouse gases beyond standard carbon dioxide.

Cool Effect is leaning hard into superpollutants. This rice methane project with Mitti Labs is a solid addition, but I want to see the actual baseline data on how they are measuring the reduction per hectare.

The integrity of these credits depends entirely on the accounting standard used. Methane from rice is notoriously hard to track. If they can prove additionality and avoid leakage, it is a win for the market design.

Interesting project, but what is the rollout timeline? Scaling these types of interventions across thousands of small farms usually hits a wall with logistics and local adoption. I wonder how many farmers are actually onboarded.
