You've heard of carbon capture machines, but what if one of the most powerful tools for removing CO₂ from the atmosphere isn't high-tech at all—just crushed rock and rain? Meet Ana Pavlovic, CEO of Eion and the self-described “Crazy Rock Lady.” Her company is pioneering a process called enhanced rock weathering, which uses the natural properties of a green volcanic mineral called olivine to pull carbon dioxide out of the air and lock it away—permanently. The best part? They do it on farmland, replacing conventional agricultural lime with olivine. The result is a two-for-one win: healthier soil for farmers and long-term carbon removal for the planet. It's nature's chemistry, accelerated—and rigorously measured using Eion's core technology, what they call a “soil fingerprinting” measurement technique. In this episode, Ana explains how Eion is turning geology into climate cash, why they're focusing on agriculture instead of oceans, and how they secured a $33 million carbon removal deal from Frontier, the coalition backed by Stripe, Shopify, and Meta. We also talk about farmer adoption, measurement challenges, and why Ana believes carbon removal can be both scientifically credible and scalable. So if you're interested in the wild new world of carbon markets, the surprising magic of crushed rocks, and what it takes to scale a climate startup from idea to impact, you'll dig this conversation. Let's rock. Discussed in this episode The 2020 Beerling paper: “Potential for large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering with croplands” Eion's $33 million deal with Frontier and its deal with Perdue. Eion's patent application for a soil fingerprinting verification technique Our 2022 episode on enhanced rock weathering with Kelly Erhart from Vesta. Ana recommends reading Ministry for the Future. More about Anastasia Pavlovic Anastasia Pavlovic brings deep expertise in global operations and software with a passion for driving global change through local impact. Before joining Eion, Pavlovic led operations, commercialization, and growth for the Agoro Carbon Alliance, which works with farmers to sequester carbon in soil. Prior to the Alliance, Pavlovic commercialized software solutions in the US and Canada for Yara's Digital Farming organization.

In this episode, we dive into the world of carbon ranching and agricultural carbon sequestration. What exactly is carbon ranching, and how does it work? Join us as we break down the process—from understanding the initial steps ranchers take to establish a carbon baseline to implementing conservation practices that generate high-quality carbon credits. We'll discuss how ranchers can customize their journey, what kinds of data are collected, and how the voluntary carbon market works. Whether you're a rancher curious about joining a program or simply intrigued by this innovative approach to climate action, this episode has something for everyone! About the our guests: Kelsey Miller is an agronomist with Agoro Carbon Alliance. She comes from a ranching family, and enjoys sharing that lifestyle with her children on their homestead in Montana. She began her agronomy career young, while also serving her local FFA chapter and later the Wyoming State FFA Association. Kelsey did undergraduate research as a McNair Scholar at Montana State University, where she earned her B.S in animal science, after she worked with the USFWS at the National Bison Range. Her agricultural career continued in work with local governments, nonprofits, and in her own enterprises. Her professional skills include grazing systems, noxious weed management, mapping, monitoring, remote sensing, soil health, local food systems, animal handling, conservation ecology and more.
What does it take to ensure sustainable projects truly make an impact? Find out in this episode with Christopher Daley, Agoro Carbon's Carbon Project Development Manager. The sustainable development verified impact standard also know as "SD VISta" is the sustainability standard managed by Verra, the world's leading standard for climate action and sustainable development. SD VISta verifies and quantifies sustainable development benefits generated from voluntary carbon offset projects. This standard ensures that certified projects not only produce measurable, sustainable development benefits but also follows best practices to protect local communities and ecosystems. Agoro Carbon Alliance works with farmers and ranchers to implement sustainable practices, like rotational grazing, biodiversity, cover crops and reduced tillage, that sequester carbon in the soil and generate carbon credits. The SD VISta standard, managed by Verra, will verify and quantify the sustainable development benefits generated from practices implemented with farmers and ranchers that partner with Agoro Carbon once registered.
Carbon-capturing has been beneficial for farmers who are doing it, including soil health and biodiversity benefits, according to Agoro Carbon Alliance.

Some farmers and ranchers have found a new revenue stream: selling carbon credits.
In today's show we begin with a tribute to former Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey, Mark Magnuson is joined by Stephanie Wetter the director of animal welfare with the national pork board as we continue the discussion about Prop 12, and Riley Smith visits with Clay Craighton of Agoro Carbon Alliance about the 2 million acres enrolled in their carbon market programs.
Let's zoom in on a specific and very crucial stage of the ag carbon credit generation process - the role of soil stratification. First off, what is soil stratification or also referred to as “soil strata?” Well, here is a little preview: Soil stratification is the process of dividing farm or ranch land into different areas that represent similar soil organic carbon to efficiently sample soil with the most accurate results. What does stratification look like? And how is it related to the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon credits? Does AI and remote sensing play a part? We cover all that and more in this episode with Tommy Pudil, Agoro Carbon's Geospatial Analyst. Tommy is a member of the science team. He is originally from eastern Iowa, and attended school at Creighton University in Nebraska, as well as Georgia Southern University in Georgia. During his time at both schools, he used remote sensing to measure the health of vegetation and map land cover using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Growing up in Iowa, farming has always been something that is important to Tommy, and he enjoys using his skills to help the mission here at Agoro Carbon Alliance. In his free time, Tommy likes to fish, hike, lift weights, and spend time with family and friends.

She went to school to become a vet but luckily was asked to get a master's degree in plant breeding for specialty oilseeds. This venture made her then think about the fact that a good medium is needed to grow forage in order to grow healthy animals. This sparked her interest in soils, that led to her Ph.D. Brekke believes that farmers and ranchers are exceptional land managers and she is inspired to find ways to make their livelihoods sustainable!This episode is sponsored by Harvest Hosts.Harvest Hosts connects farms & other small businesses to an extensive network of self-contained RVers to boost annual revenue.
