Alt Carbon targets South Asia as a hub for durable carbon dioxide removal, scaling enhanced rock weathering across farmland in India and neighboring markets. Corporate demand is rising through buyer coalitions such as Frontier and NextGen, plus offtake agreements with Japanese shipping major MOL Group.

The voluntary carbon market for engineered removals has grown rapidly, and Alt Carbon plans to expand beyond carbon credits into Carbon Removal as a Service across South Asian agriculture.

Alt Carbon combines a proprietary basalt-organic soil amendment called Hari Maati with field labs, geochemical modeling, and machine-learning-driven MRV to verify carbon removal at lower cost than direct air capture.

Its roots in Darjeeling tea estates give it established farmer relationships, while partnerships with Isometric, IISc Bangalore, and Ashoka University strengthen scientific credibility and registry acceptance.
