Carbon Drawdown Through Nature

Our Protocols

Soil Carbon

Blue Carbon

Forest Carbon

Well Plugging

BCarbon harnesses the power of soils, forests, and wetlands to promote ecological regeneration.

As a nonprofit carbon registry and climate research center that emerged from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, we bring simplicity, reliability, and scale to the market for nature-based carbon credits.

BCarbon’s measurement-focused protocols provide a pathway to net-zero goals, strengthen rural economies, and regenerate rangelands, forests, and coastal marshes.

Existing standards for nature-based carbon credits are often impractical for landowners and lacking in empirical rigor. BCarbon provides pragmatic, high-integrity climate solutions through its protocols and research.
