Indigo Carbon surpasses 2 million soil carbon credits in landmark 1.1 million issuance
Sources of informationFebruary 26, 2026 | Carbon Credits |
Indigo Carbon announced its verified climate impact from U.S. croplands has exceeded 2 million metric tons after a new issuance of 1.1 million carbon credits through the Climate Action Reserve. The latest issuance came from Indigo's U.S. soil carbon project under the Soil Enrichment Protocol Version 1.1, which now carries the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles label. This milestone reflects a broader trend of corporate demand shifting toward high-quality verified removals, exemplified by Microsoft’s major 12-year agreement signed in January to purchase 2.85 million soil carbon removal credits from the company. Indigo is presenting the milestone as evidence that soil-based carbon programs can scale while meeting stricter quality expectations. It also highlights the program's emphasis on independent verification, registry issuance, and 100-year project-level monitoring, alongside claims that soil carbon practices can support water conservation and crop resilience.
