Lithos Carbon

Lithos Carbon helps farmers turn working farmland into carbon removal sites while supporting soil health and crop productivity. The company uses enhanced rock weathering, applying crushed basalt to fields so silicate minerals can absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide as they break down. Basalt also supplies nutrients, including iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium, and can help regulate soil pH, support crop resilience, and reduce the need for limestone applications.

Lithos develops farm-specific application plans using soil samples, proprietary soil models, and machine learning to balance carbon capture, crop yields, and soil health. The company coordinates feedstock delivery, soil sampling, and basalt application, covering these costs for participating farms. It also provides measurement, reporting, and verification services, tracing carbon through farm soils, waterways, and toward the ocean. Its modeling approach draws on long-term research conducted at Yale University and the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Through its services, Lithos aims to help growers earn revenue from carbon removal while maintaining productive land.
