Lithos Carbon

About

Lithos Carbon is an agri-tech company based in San Francisco, CA, founded in 2022. The company focuses on transforming farmland into carbon capture centers while enhancing crop yields. Lithos Carbon employs a unique method of carbon capture through enhanced rock weathering, using crushed basalt rock dust applied to agricultural lands. This process captures atmospheric CO₂ and enriches the soil with essential nutrients. The company utilizes proprietary machine learning algorithms to optimize basalt application strategies tailored to individual farms. This approach not only maximizes carbon capture but also improves soil health and regulates pH levels for specific crops. Lithos Carbon operates a revenue model based on selling carbon credits, sharing profits with participating farmers, and fostering a circular economy that benefits both the environment and agricultural productivity. With a growing team and successful deployments on multiple farms, Lithos Carbon is making strides in sustainable agriculture and carbon offsetting.
