US-based Boomitra Completes Delivery of 2.6 Million Soil Carbon Credits from Mexico

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 10, US-based soil carbon project developer Boomitra announced that it had sold and delivered 2.6 million soil carbon credits from a grassland restoration project in northern Mexico to corporate buyers through multiple spot transactions. Each credit corresponds to 1 tonne of CO2-equivalent soil carbon removal. All credits have been transferred to buyers' registry accounts, with some already retired. The project had previously been approved by Verra for the issuance of 3.03 million carbon credits, and this delivery represents approximately 86% of the approved volume.

The project involved in these transactions is the grassland restoration project in northern Mexico, registered under ID VCS 2887, covering the Chihuahuan Desert and Sonoran Desert regions. Boomitra currently works with more than 600 ranchers, with the project area spanning approximately 4.8 million acres (about 1.94 million hectares), including private ranches and community collective lands. The carbon credits were sold through multiple spot transactions.

The project employs rotational grazing and water conservation measures to improve grassland management. Ranchers move livestock in batches to different fenced areas, allowing grazed plots time for vegetation recovery, and adopt water-saving measures appropriate to local drought conditions. The project accounts for soil carbon changes in accordance with the improved agricultural land management methodology VM0042, increasing soil organic carbon stocks through improved grazing and land management practices to generate verifiable carbon removal.

Carbon credit sales revenue is distributed according to Boomitra's benefit-sharing mechanism. The company disclosed that participating ranchers and local implementation partners collectively receive at least 75% of total carbon revenue. The related income will be used for ranch operations and land management investments, creating an income stream linked to grassland restoration activities.

Verra announced on February 4, 2026, that it had approved the issuance of 3.03 million carbon credits for the project. The project statistics published at that time reported approximately 4 million acres and 158 ranchers. Boomitra's current disclosure shows the partnership has expanded to approximately 4.8 million acres and more than 600 ranchers, with the two datasets corresponding to project coverage at different points in time.
