Carbon & Credits
Methodology, carbon cycle, and verification pipeline for credit issuance.
Methodology
Standard
Verra VCS (Voluntary Carbon Standard)
Internationally recognized methodology for quantifying GHG emission reductions.
Emission Factor
0.36 Ton CO₂e / Ton Feed
Derived from peer-reviewed studies on enteric methane reduction via feed additives (GWP₁₀₀ of CH₄ = 28).
Two Carbon Sources
Enteric CH₄ Reduction + Feedstock Sequestration
Credits are generated from both reduced methane emissions and carbon sequestered during raw material cultivation.
HiFeed Carbon Cycle
Two primary pathways through which HiFeed generates verified carbon credits.
Feedstock Carbon Sequestration
CO₂ absorbed during raw material cultivation
Crop Cultivation
Feed raw materials are sustainably farmed by local agricultural partners
Photosynthesis
Plants absorb atmospheric CO₂ and store carbon in biomass during growth
Harvest & Processing
Raw materials are harvested and processed into HiFeed complete feed pellets
Carbon Stored
CO₂ absorbed during growth is quantified and counted as carbon credits
16.7 Ton CO₂eEnteric Methane Reduction
CH₄ avoided from rumen fermentation
Feed Consumption
Cattle consume HiFeed pellets containing anti-methanogenic compounds
Rumen Fermentation
Active compounds inhibit methanogen microbes in the rumen, reducing CH₄ production
Emission Reduction
Enteric methane emissions from cattle are significantly reduced
Avoided Emissions
Unreleased CH₄ (GWP₁₀₀ = 28× CO₂) is quantified as verified carbon credits
