**About Agricarbon UK**

Agricarbon is an ambitious start-up in the fast-emerging soil carbon space. Demand for carbon removals is forecast to grow exponentially in the next few decades, and it has been estimated that agricultural soils have the capacity to capture up to 1 trillion tonnes of CO2 through regenerative farming practices.

Agricarbon develops innovative technology-based services that measure soil carbon with the highest level of accuracy and at ultra-low cost. This is a vital missing link to allow soil carbon capture projects to demonstrate and secure payments for CO2 removal, unlocking farm soils as a vast carbon sink opportunity. Our aim is to make a meaningful contribution to mitigating climate change within the next 10 years.

Based in Dundee, Scotland, Agricarbon is targeting established international carbon removal markets whilst simultaneously helping to develop the soil carbon market in the UK and Europe. Through science-led innovation in automation and systems engineering, Agricarbon aims to set a global gold standard for reliable, affordable soil carbon certification and unleash a new wave of climate mitigating regenerative farming practices.

We have recently completed Series A fundraising to scale our operations rapidly and have multiple contracts to fulfil for large food and beverage companies/project developers in the UK, Europe and internationally.
