Impact
Every tonne measured. Every outcome reported.
Prithvi CDR holds itself to a standard beyond carbon — measuring and reporting ecological, hydrological, and social outcomes at the project level across every restoration site.
Validated Pathways
Biochar, Enhanced Rock Weathering, Afforestation
SDG Dimensions
Measurable contributions to SDG 6, 13, 15, and 17
Operating State
Madhya Pradesh — geological heartland of India
Independent Verification
Every credit is third-party audited before issuance
Beyond Carbon
Biodiversity
Each project site is monitored for species richness, habitat connectivity, and indicator species. Restoration consistently increases local biodiversity within three to five years of intervention.
Water Systems
Afforestation and Enhanced Rock Weathering projects measurably improve water infiltration, reduce runoff, and contribute to groundwater recharge in water-stressed landscapes.
Rural Livelihoods
Carbon payments provide direct income to participating farming and local communities during ecological transition periods — reducing risk and enabling practice change.
Air Quality
Biochar projects displace open burning of agricultural residues — a significant source of particulate matter in rural central India — delivering local air quality co-benefits alongside carbon removal.
SDG Alignment
Contributing to four Sustainable Development Goals.
Clean Water & Sanitation
Afforestation and Enhanced Rock Weathering projects improve watershed function, water infiltration, and groundwater recharge across restoration landscapes.
Climate Action
All Prithvi CDR projects directly contribute to CDR at verified scale, supporting India's NDC targets and demonstrating the viability of nature-based carbon removal.
Life on Land
Every restoration project is monitored for biodiversity co-benefits — including species richness, habitat connectivity, and pollinator indicators.
Partnerships for Goals
The Prithvi CDR model is built on multi-stakeholder partnership — farmers, buyers, investors, institutions, and government — as a demonstration of collaborative climate governance.
Impact Reporting Standard
Prithvi CDR publishes project-level impact reports at defined intervals — covering carbon removal quantities, biodiversity indicators, watershed outcomes, and livelihood metrics. Buyer access to full project documentation is provided through the platform's due diligence portal.
