Lithuanian InSoil and Key Carbon partner on €100M agreement to transform European farmland
InSoil, a Lithuanian climate finance company, and Key Carbon, a leading financier within the voluntary carbon market, have entered into a €100 million agreement to enable climate-critical transitions to regenerative agriculture across one million hectares of European farmland.
Agreement details
Through the partnership, Key Carbon has the right to invest over €100 million into InSoil’s zero-interest Green Loans, providing vital financing to small and medium-sized farms transitioning to regenerative agricultural practices over the next several years.
In a royalty agreement, InSoil has received a €3.7 million investment from Key Carbon to scale its operations across one million hectares of European farmland by 2026, enabling the sequestration of over 35 million tonnes of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
“Through this agreement with Key Carbon, we will be able to reach more farmers, accelerate climate-positive outcomes, and deliver the kind of high-integrity credits the carbon market increasingly demands. As institutional interest in nature-based solutions continues to grow, our work with Key Carbon will represent a model for blending sustainable finance with climate impact, and turning soil into both a climate solution and a revenue stream for European farmers,” says Laimonas Noreika, CEO of InSoil.
