ChrysaLabs, a leader in soil data, insights, and carbon measurement, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Nufarm, a global leader in crop protection and seed technologies. This collaboration aims to quantify the soil carbon sequestration benefits associated with the expansion of Nufarm’s Carinata production in South America that serves as a renewable feedstock for low-carbon fuels and materials, addressing hard-to-abate sectors like aviation.
Together, ChrysaLabs and Nufarm are pioneering a groundbreaking method to accurately measure and verify soil carbon sequestration. By integrating advanced agricultural management practices and Carinata rotations, the partnership aims to build reliable, scalable climate solutions directly in the soil.
ChrysaLabs brings a fully integrated, end-to-end solution, combining:
This approach is powered by Direct Contact Proximal Sensing technology, enabling precise data collection, cost reduction, and a scalable execution model that captures the entire carbon cycle — from field to finance.
Nufarm plans to scale Carinata across large hectares of suitable land in South America. The goal: create a continuous carbon-to-carbon cycle — removing CO₂ from the atmosphere, storing it in the soil, and monetizing that impact through Sustainable aviation fuel.
This expansion aligns with Nufarm’s broader strategy to integrate sustainability into its core operations and to offer farmers new opportunities to contribute to climate action while enhancing economic outcomes.
“This partnership marks a significant advancement in carbon modeling and unlocks scalable new business opportunities such as biofuel production,”
— Samuel Fournier, CEO and Co-founder, ChrysaLabs
“Nufarm is dedicated to sustainability within the biofuel industry, crafting solutions that not only curb emissions but also open new economic pathways for farmers,”
— Greg Hunt, CEO and Managing Director, Nufarm
The carbon outcomes from this initiative are designed to meet the most rigorous sustainability standards, including:
These certifications ensure traceability, credibility, and climate alignment, allowing airlines and corporate buyers to credibly meet their Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions targets.
Beyond its direct impact on biofuels, this initiative stands as a proof of concept for how robust, data-driven methodologies can align sustainability goals with business opportunities.
ChrysaLabs’ ability to reduce project complexity, deliver accurate soil carbon insights, and support full-scale carbon project execution creates new monetization pathways for agriculture, while Nufarm continues to push innovation in sustainable inputs, carbon markets, and regenerative practices.
ChrysaLabs delivers real-time soil insights and scalable carbon quantification services for agricultural and land-based carbon projects. Its patented sensing technology and expert project support make carbon management cost-effective and measurable.
Nufarm is a global crop protection and seed technology company committed to helping farmers meet growing demand for food, fiber, and sustainable fuel. Through innovation and strategic partnerships, Nufarm drives a more resilient and climate-ready agriculture.
