Thanks to the growing carbon credit market, rangeland owners and operators can now register and sell carbon credits from agricultural practices.

AgraGate and Silveus Insurance Group can help you take advantage of this new revenue opportunity. Carbon credits are now being traded on the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). The exchange was launched as a pilot program in 2003 to allow companies to purchase carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions.

AgraGate, using Silveus as facilitators, works to purchase carbon credits from individual producers – with rangeland, cropland new grass plantings, afforested land and with on-farm anaerobic digesters – and combine them into “pools” that can then be sold on the CCX.

As a carbon credit aggregator, we manage and administer these pools, register the individual projects, maintain the database of ag-based credits, interface with CCX, manage the sales of the credits in the pools and distribute the sales proceeds to participants.
