🎙️ Untangling Climate Finance: Building Soil Carbon Projects at Scale with Elliot Formal
In this episode, Elliot Formal, CEO of Agoro Carbon Alliance, explains how a soil carbon developer turns regenerative practices on farms and ranches across 34 states into verified carbon removal credits. Elliot covers measuring soil carbon with more than 110,000 samples under Verra’s VM0042, what keeps producers committed through 10-year contracts, and the due diligence behind Agoro’s 12-year agreement with Microsoft. He also shares the tougher questions buyers now ask about soil carbon and how his path through finance and Yara led him to the CEO seat.
