Restoring tropical soils.
Removing carbon permanently.

InPlanet uses Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) in the tropics to permanently remove carbon and remineralize depleted soils across Brazil’s agricultural heartland.
Rising CO₂ and degrading soils are eroding food security and climate resilience
Agriculture is facing a dual challenge: atmospheric CO₂ continues to rise, while many of the world’s most important soils are losing the minerals and resilience they need to remain productive. The effectiveness of traditional methods is waning, and the development of new crop protection products is slowing down, becoming more costly and complex.

Our mission is to restore tropical soils while permanently removing carbon
In Brazil’s warm and wet tropical conditions, ERW can work up to 10x faster than in temperate regions. By spreading finely crushed basalt across depleted pastures and crop-rotation lands, InPlanet accelerates a natural chemical reaction that:
Captures
CO₂
from the atmosphere and converts it into stable bicarbonates for permanent carbon storage.
Remineralizes depleted soils
by naturally balancing soil pH levels, and providing essential nutrients to foster healthier crops.
Increases crop resilience
by enhancing soil health and boosting crop resilience through natural processes, minimizing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
InPlanet is scaling Enhanced Rock Weathering across Brazil’s agricultural heartland
InPlanet combines Brazil’s geology, abundant basalt reserves, tropical soils, and extensive farming networks with proprietary science and technology.
Our technology backbone streamlines operations and enables InPlanet to build one of the world’s most scalable and verifiable Enhanced Rock Weathering platforms.
Farmer & Mine Matchmaking
We source basalt remineralizer residues from MAPA-approved local mines and apply them locally to minimize the carbon footprint.
Spreading &
Logistics
We deploy basalt across tropical croplands, where warm, wet soils can accelerate weathering up to 10x faster than in temperate regions.
Proprietary
Technology
Our monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system ensures carbon removal is translated into high-integrity, certifiable credits.
Creating real impact for Brazilian farmers
Our projects are built to deliver more than carbon removal. By returning mineral-rich basalt to agricultural soils, InPlanet helps farmers improve soil conditions, reduce dependency on conventional inputs, and strengthen long-term agricultural resilience.

Setting the global standard for ERW
In December 2024, InPlanet became the first company globally to certify independently verified ERW carbon removal credits, proving that ERW can move from scientific promise to verified climate impact. The credits were verified by Isometric, delivered to Adyen, and facilitated by ClimeFi.
InPlanet's first credits received an A rating ex-post from BeZero Carbon, based on measured field data rather than forecasted activity, demonstrating the quality of the projects. InPlanet is building the evidence base for high-integrity carbon removal in the tropics, combining field deployment and real operations across Brazilian farmland.
Project Araçari
Project Araçari marks InPlanet’s second Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) credit issuance under the Isometric Standard, and the world’s first verified ERW credits from citrus agriculture. This issuance demonstrates ERW’s continued evolution as a durable carbon removal pathway with agronomic benefits for Brazilian farmers.

Project Dourado
Project Dourado takes its name from one of Brazil’s most iconic freshwater fish, the Dourado (Salminus brasiliensis), often called the king of the rivers. Known for its brilliant golden color and remarkable strength, the Dourado symbolizes resilience and balance in nature. Thriving only in clean, well-oxygenated rivers, it serves as a natural indicator of healthy ecosystems. In the same spirit, Project Dourado reflects InPlanet’s determination to restore ecosystems, regenerate soils, and bring balance back to our planet with permanent carbon removal.

Project Serra da Mantiqueira
The Serra da Mantiqueira, derived from the Tupi language meaning "raindrop," stands as a symbol of natural abundance and cultural heritage in southeastern Brazil. Project Serra da Mantiqueira is a groundbreaking Enhanced Weathering initiative as the first third-party certified carbon credits by Isometric.
Operating in Brazil’s heartland
Brazil has the conditions ERW needs to scale: warm temperatures, high rainfall, abundant basalt, extensive agricultural land, and deep farming expertise.
Its tropical climate accelerates weathering reactions up to 10x faster than temperate regions, while nutrient-poor soils can benefit directly from silicate rock application. This means every tonne spread can deliver both durable carbon removal and measurable agronomic value.
Brazil also provides a clear regulatory pathway. Rock powders used as soil inputs are regulated and certified under MAPA, ensuring input quality and supporting safe, scalable deployment.Together, these conditions make Brazil one of the world’s most efficient geographies for ERW.
InPlanet delivers ERW credits with uncompromising integrity
We issued the world’s first independently verified ERW credits, operate Brazil’s largest ERW program with over 20,000 hectares deployed, and are trusted by leading buyers including Microsoft and Adyen.
Every credit is certified under Isometric’s Enhanced Weathering Protocol, supported by independent verification, and guided by our Science Advisory Board. The result is durable carbon removal backed by rigorous science, transparent MRV, and real-world deployment at scale.
Beyond carbon removal, every purchase helps restore tropical soils, reduce fertilizer dependence, and strengthen farmer livelihoods, creating climate impact that is measurable, durable, and deeply rooted in place.
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 fertilizer use, and supports farmer livelihoods.

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.
Founder and CEO
We’re committed to supporting responsible growth of our industry and high-integrity carbon removal is key to cutting net emissions as global air travel demand continues to rise.
