Carbon Offsets and Soil Carbon Sequestration - Aldyen Donnelly - Nori

How To Stop Climate Change

“The good news is the opportunities to remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in soils have a lot of side benefits, making the soil more resilient in the event of warming, increasing moisture in the soil, reducing pollution from farms into water systems. So let's go for it. It's crazy not to, not to do this!”
~Aldyen Donnelly, Co-Founder and Director of Carbon Economics at Nori.

Aldyen Donnelly is a co-founder and the Director of Carbon Economics at Nori, a company whose goal is to “create a new way for anyone in the world to pay to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.” She has 30 years of experience in environmental and carbon markets and developed the world's first major forward emission reduction credit purchase agreement to finance carbon sequestration in agricultural soils.

Carbon Sequestration and Soil Carbon
In this episode we discuss the massive potential for storing carbon in the soil, what farmers can do to store more carbon in their fields and how buying Nori carbon removal tons can help farmers make the investments required to do that.

Carbon Offsets and Carbon Markets
We also talk about some of the problems that carbon offsets have had up to now, what we’ve learned from those experiments and how the Nori Carbon Removal Marketplace is addressing some of the past issues with streamlined software, more transparency and better verification.
