Sustainability & Carbon Scoring

Bushel already received a $3.5M grant from the North Dakota Industrial Commission to build carbon intensity scoring tools for renewable fuels processors. The carbon credit market for agriculture is projected to reach $26 billion by 2030, and buyers are demanding verifiable sustainability data at the bushel level. But today, carbon scoring and traceability verification are manual, document-heavy processes that most elevators and farmers can't navigate. FBN's Gradable JV with ADM already uses satellite imagery to score 200M+ bushels and has paid $30M+ in premiums to farmers. The "grain passport" concept Bushel is developing needs an Ai engine behind it.

This capability automates the entire sustainability verification pipeline. It ingests field-level practice data from Bushel Farm and connected farm management platforms, cross-references with satellite imagery and soil data, calculates per-bushel carbon intensity scores using GREET and EPA-approved methodologies, and generates verifiable "grain passports" that travel with each load from farm to processor. For renewable fuels buyers, it provides the CI documentation they need for LCFS credits. For farmers, it unlocks premium markets they couldn't access without professional verification. Bushel becomes the trust layer for sustainable grain — at scale.
