Nature-based soil carbon removal solutions provider Grassroots Carbon announced a new multi-year deal with Boeing, with the aerospace giant agreeing to offtake a minimum of 40,000 tons of durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits.
Launched in 2021 through the merger of grazing management software company PastureMap and carbon credit aggregator Soil Value Exchange, Texas-based Grassroots Carbon partners with ranchers across the U.S. to store carbon through regenerative grazing, providing soil measurement, land management support, and carbon credit verification, while connecting projects with corporate buyers. The company provides soil measurement, land management support, and carbon credit verification, while connecting projects with corporate buyers.
Under the new agreement, Boeing will purchase CDR credits generated from Grassroots Carbon’s soil carbon program, which sequesters carbon in soil from regenerative ranching and improved grassland management across the U.S. The program is built on direct one-meter deep, field-level soil measurements and laboratory analysis, and includes third party verification and certification of the measurements using recognized carbon standards to validate the atmospheric carbon stored in healthy soils.
Brad Tipper, CEO of Grassroots Carbon said:
“This agreement with Boeing demonstrates the critical role that U.S. ranchers and grasslands are playing in delivering high-integrity carbon removal at scale. By earning the trust of partners like Boeing, we are demonstrating that rigorously measured soil carbon can deliver durable carbon solutions at scale, while strengthening water resources, biodiversity, and rural economies.”
Boeing said that it will apply carbon removal credits to address residual Scope 3 – category 6 emissions associated with business travel, supporting the company’s broader strategy to reduce and neutralize hard-to-abate emissions across its value chain. The company has voluntarily offset its Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO₂ emissions from manufacturing and operational facilities since 2020, along with Scope 3 business travel emissions, primarily using traditional carbon offsets. In 2024, Boeing said it would adopt an “avoid first, remove second” carbon management strategy, prioritizing emissions reductions at the source while using offsets and removals for hard-to-abate emissions.
The announcement follows a separate agreement in March 2026, under which Boeing agreed to purchase at least 40,000 tons of CDRs from carbon removal solutions provider Carbonfuture.
Allison Melia, Vice President, Global Enterprise Sustainability, Boeing said:
“We’re proud to work with Grassroots to accelerate carbon-removal technology that will benefit the entire global aviation industry. Enabling the long-term growth of air travel and supporting our airline customers’ emissions reduction targets are key priorities for Boeing.”
