Boomitra Sells 2.6 Million Verified Soil Carbon Credits from Mexico

Carbon removal developer Boomitra has completed the sale and delivery of 2.6 million verified soil carbon credits from its Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project through multiple transactions with corporate buyers. Announced on 10 November 2026, the sales represent approximately 2.6 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent removals through increased soil carbon storage. The transactions follow Verra's approval of 3.03 million credits for issuance in February 2026, with the majority now delivered to buyers rather than remaining as future purchase commitments.

The project works with more than 600 ranchers across approximately 4.8 million acres in Mexico's Chihuahuan and Sonoran desert regions. Participating landowners, including community-owned ejidos and private ranches, implement regenerative grazing practices that allow vegetation to recover between grazing periods. They also use water conservation measures suited to the region's dry climate. These activities aim to restore degraded grasslands, improve biodiversity and increase the amount of carbon stored in soil.

The project is registered under Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), project ID 2887, using the VM0042 Improved Agricultural Land Management methodology. Boomitra reports that the project holds an A rating from MSCI and a BBB rating from Sylvera, reflecting external assessments of its carbon credit quality. All 2.6 million sold credits have been transferred to buyers' registry accounts, and a portion has already been retired. The identities of corporate buyers and the financial value of the transactions were not disclosed.

Aadith Moorthy, Founder and CEO of Boomitra, said, "These 2.6 million credits are already in multiple buyers’ accounts, and payments are reaching ranchers who have spent years restoring their grasslands. Those sales give ranchers income they can reinvest in the land."

Under Boomitra's revenue-sharing model, participating ranchers and local implementation partners receive at least 75% of gross carbon revenue. The company said payments are already helping ranchers finance improvements to their agricultural operations, including water infrastructure and pasture management. The completed transactions demonstrate commercial demand for issued soil carbon removal credits while providing an additional income source for communities adopting regenerative land management practices.
