Mycorrhizal Impact
Mycorrhizal networks comprise a BioPlatform that enhances soil health, promotes beneficial microbial synergies, and permanently sequesters carbon
Carbon sequestration potential of up to 50 tCO2eq per acre cumulatively over first 15 years
The Problem:
Agricultural soil has become a net carbon emitter
Since the Industrial Revolution, agricultural progress has brought extremely high crop yields, feeding a burgeoning human population. During that same period, however, land-use changes, mostly for agriculture, have released 785 GtCO2eq into the atmosphere, almost as much as the combustion of fossil fuels.
The CO2 released into the atmosphere through modern cultivation methods is a major cause of climate change. The cropland topsoil that is now depleted of 50 to 70% of its carbon (and organic matter) is its rightful home. In fact, today’s cropland topsoil is only 31% saturated with carbon, which means that it can absorb 674 GtCO2eq more before reaching saturation. How can we sequester soil carbon to achieve this feat?
Rootella Carbon is the Solution:
Agricultural soils can become a net carbon retainer.
Mycorrhizae are the main pathway of carbon into the soil. Application of Rootella mycorrhizal inoculants across the world’s 4B acres (1.6B hectares) of croplands has the potential to sequester up to 81GtCO2eq within 15 years, cumulatively.
Our Farmer Partners at the Center
The potential is enormous, but it all starts with you, the individual farmer, and your decision to start sequestering via mycorrhizal carbon and transforming your soil back into a net carbon retainer. Depending on your crops, soil type, and carbon saturation levels, you could sequester 1-4tCO2eq/acre (3-10tCO2eq/ha) every year by applying Rootella – and earn premium carbon credit revenue while helping restabilize our climate.
Mycorrhizal carbon’s impact
potential at scale is SIGNIFICANT
8.15M Rootella acres (3.3M ha) worldwide by EoY 2024 potentially translates to:
