Accelerating Nature with Enhanced Rock Weathering
Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a carbon dioxide removal technology that permanently locks away CO₂ by accelerating a natural geological process that has been occurring for millions of years.
Carbon Removal You Can Stand Behind
InPlanet provides Enhanced Rock Weathering credits with the highest integrity. We issued the first independently verified ERW credits, run Brazil's largest program (12,000+ hectares), and count Microsoft and Adyen as buyers. Every tonne is certified under Isometric's Enhanced Weathering Protocol, overseen by a Science Advisory Board, and permanently stored. Beyond carbon removal, your purchase restores tropical soils, reduces fertilizer dependence, and strengthens farmer livelihoods, creating durable climate impact with a compelling story.
First to certify
In January 2025, InPlanet and Isometric announced the first-ever delivery of verified carbon removal credits through Isometric.
Science-first by design
An independent Science Advisory Board of leading ERW academics, with every credit issued under Isometric's rigorous Enhanced Weathering Protocol.
Largest operations in Brazil
InPlanet operates the largest ERW program in Brazil, covering more than 12,000 hectares of farmland, roughly equivalent to the size of San Francisco.
Beyond Carbon
Every tonne also restores tropical soils, cuts fertiliser use, and supports farmer livelihoods.
Remineralising Brazilian Soils Strengthening Global Food Security
Brazil is a major player in the global soybean trade and a leading exporter of beef, coffee, and sugar. However, its farmland often suffers from weathered, nutrient-poor soils that depend on heavy fertilizer use, making farmers vulnerable to land degradation and unstable prices. Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) revitalizes these soils by remineralizing them with crushed silicate rocks. This improves soil health, reduces the need for fertilizers and liming, and permanently removes CO₂ from the atmosphere. Operating in Brazil allows us to maximize carbon removal and boost agricultural resilience, achieving the best return per tonne of carbon removed due to the region's warm, wet climate that speeds up weathering reactions, supporting farmers and strengthening food security.

Brazil offers abundant farmland, basalt
and the ideal climate for weathering
Brazil's warm, wet climate drives weathering reactions up to 10x faster than in temperate regions, and its nutrient-poor tropical soils are the kind that benefit most from silicate rocks, so every tonne spread delivers both carbon removal and agronomic uplift. With extensive farmland and basalt reserves vast enough to support gigatonne-scale carbon removal, no other geography offers this combination of speed, fit, and scale. Furthermore, Brazil is also the only country on Earth with structured legislation regulating rock powders as a soil input, with quality certified under MAPA, giving us a clear, defensible regulatory path.

Leading the Industry in Enhanced Rock Weathering
Brazil, a breadbasket for the world, faces the challenge of depleted tropical soils. Remineralizing these soils through enhanced rock weathering is engineering a new era of agriculture, healing the earth and securing sustainable harvests for generations.
World's first certified ERW carbon credits
InPlanet and Isometric issued the first-ever Enhanced Rock Weathering carbon removal credits — establishing the benchmark for an entirely new category of the voluntary carbon market.
Largest volume of rock powder deployed in Brazil to date
Operating at commercial scale across working farms — including the ~1,000 ha Serra da Mantiqueira project — InPlanet has spread more remineralizing basalt than any other ERW player in the country, turning scientific potential into measured tonnes on the ground.
Tropical-soil advantage
InPlanet is the first carbon removal AgTech to harness the unique conditions of tropical soils to catalyze Enhanced Rock Weathering — warm temperatures, high rainfall, and acidic soils dramatically accelerate the weathering reaction, making Brazil one of the most efficient places on Earth to remove CO₂ this way.
We are very excited about Enhanced Rock Weathering as a durable carbon removal technology because of its enormous scaling potential as well as the ecological and social co-benefits. We are impressed by InPlanet’s scientific integrity, emphasizing the monitoring of carbon removal, and we are excited to see them scale throughout our partnership.

Emissions reduction remains our priority, and high-quality carbon removals are essential for tackling the residual emissions that remain. By investing early across a diverse set of technologies and regions, we’re contributing to upscaling durable climate solutions while supporting the communities and environments in which we race.
Head of Sustainability at Mercedez Benz
InPlanet’s commitment to measurement and monitoring bolster the integrity of their enhanced rock weathering carbon removal credits, which will contribute to Microsoft’s goal to be carbon negative by 2030.
Director of Carbon Removal at Microsoft
These world-first Enhanced Weathering (EW) credits are a key step to scaling carbon removal. They bring an unprecedented level of scientific rigor to a pathway that has great potential, but which has lacked robust verification until now. The transparent data behind these credits shows that Isometric’s high quality, verified EW credits represent a tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere and should be a key part of every CDR buyer’s portfolio.
