What RENOVAR CARBON LTD does

Renovar Carbon Ltd is a Northern Ireland-based private company, founded in 2023 and operating at 1-10 employees, that deploys Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) on agricultural land to generate verified carbon removals. Its core technical offering involves spreading pulverised surplus construction concrete (0-4mm) and volcanic basalt dust on farmland at 10-20 tonnes per hectare; the silicate materials react with carbonic acid in rainwater to form bicarbonate, which is transferred through soils into water systems for long-term storage. The company also operates the Terra Vida programme in Portugal, planting Nopal Opuntia on degraded non-productive land with a stated sequestration capacity of up to 30 tonnes CO2 per hectare.

The company serves two customer groups: primary, active farmers and landowners in the UK and Ireland seeking soil health improvements, fertiliser cost reductions, and supplementary revenue from carbon credits; and a secondary segment of non-productive land managers in Portugal targeted through Terra Vida. Distribution is direct B2B field sales via a structured 4-stage engagement (consultation, soil core sampling to 1m, free material and contractor spreading, and 9-12 month post-application verification). Renovar supplies materials and pays for contractor application at no cost to the landowner, funded by the subsequent sale of carbon credits; specific credit pricing and volumes are not disclosed, and no third-party registry certifications are listed. Additional revenue-adjacent services include soil nutrient, trace element, carbon dynamics, hedgerow carbon, and biodiversity/ecosystem assessments.

The company is founder-controlled, privately held, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, management team, patents, or regulatory certifications in the source material. Marketing is digital-first (Wix website, LinkedIn, X/Twitter) plus direct contact forms. Operating geographies are the UK, Ireland, and Portugal, with a stated corporate mission of removing 1,000,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2040.

Core offering

Renovar Carbon applies Enhanced Rock Weathering to agricultural land by spreading crushed surplus concrete (0-4mm) and volcanic basalt dust on farmland, where the silicate materials react with carbonic acid in rainwater to permanently sequester CO2 as bicarbonate in soils and waterways. The company executes a four-stage process covering landowner consultation, soil baseline sampling, free material supply and contractor-arranged application at 10-20 tonnes/hectare, and 9-12 month post-application verification, then monetises the verified removals by selling carbon credits while reinvesting proceeds into additional ERW trials.

Product overview

RENOVAR CARBON LTD offers a suite of Enhanced Rock Weathering products and services for carbon sequestration on farmland. The core offerings are Basalt Dust (volcanic rock dust for soil fertility) and Pulverised Concrete (crushed 0-4mm from construction waste), both applied to farmland using a 4-stage process that includes soil testing, free material supply, and follow-up analysis. The company also operates the Terra Vida Programme in Portugal using Opuntia Ficus-indica for soil regeneration. Additional services include soil health testing packages covering nutrients, trace elements, soil carbon dynamics, and biodiversity assessments.
