● DNV has validated and verified the quality and traceability of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and removals generated by farmers on the AgreenaCarbon Project. ● Europe’s leading soil carbon programme deploys advanced digital Measurement, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) capabilities to calculate the GHG impact of regenerative farming practices at field-level. ● This is the third year that DNV has confirmed that the on farm GHG reductions and removals calculated by Agreena are authentic and traceable.

LONDON, UK - 25 November 2024: For the third year running, Danish climate solutions company, Agreena, has had its soil carbon programme validated and verified by independent assurance and risk management provider, DNV.

DNV has confirmed that the greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting approach used in Agreena's programme continues to meet the international accounting standard ISO 14064-2, and that the GHG reductions and removals resulting from farmers adopting regenerative practices are authentic and traceable.
Agreena helps farmers access carbon finance to accelerate the global shift to regenerative agriculture and is currently working with more than 2,300 farmers across 4.5 million hectares in 20 countries.
Farmers can reduce their on-farm emissions and sequester carbon dioxide in their soil through the implementation of practices such as reduced soil disturbance, use of cover crops, use of organic fertilisers, and optimal residue management. Agreena's pioneering soil carbon programme quantifies these emission reductions and removals and is able to generate finance for farmers through the sales of carbon credits, insets and data.
These are of particular value to companies seeking to support climate projects beyond their value chain and food and drink companies who are working to decarbonise their supply chains.
"Agreena is incredibly proud to have achieved verification from our highly respected assurance partner, DNV, for the third year running. DNV verification and compliance with the global standard ISO 14064-2 shows our clients how highly we value the integrity of our programme, and reassures our farmers that the impact of their efforts are fully recognised and valued. Agreena invests heavily in our dMRV capabilities for this very reason - it drives value and confidence in the soil carbon sector and will underpin the scaling of regenerative agriculture" said Simon Haldrup, CEO of Agreena.
"Regenerative farming can play an important role in tackling greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net zero targets - but only if all stakeholders can be certain that the carbon impacts are accurately monitored and measured. DNV is delighted to support the transition towards regenerative agriculture through the validation and verification of Agreena's robust programme, ensuring a win-win situation for farmers and companies accounting for GHG emission reductions and removals," said Geir Fuglerud, CEO - Supply Chain & Product Assurance at DNV.
As part of the audit, in-person farm visits were carried out by independent auditors to ensure farmers implemented the regenerative practices that they had committed to.
DNV validated that Agreena's methodology:
● Provides accurate reporting, eliminating the risk of double counting or inclusion of unsupported removals.
● Measures emissions reduction/removal accurately.
● Establishes stringent, transparent, and repeatable monitoring procedures.
