Nset Rails

Prove your reduction survived the supply chain.

Nset Rails is the shared record that carries a crop's carbon footprint intact — through crushing, blending, and every change of hands — so the reduction you measured is still provable when it's claimed. Think of it as the DTCC for the food value chain: we own the rails, never the attribute.

Why this is hard

A reduction has to survive the whole supply chain — or the claim falls apart.

  1. 1

    It gets transformed

    Crush a low-carbon soybean into meal and oil and the footprint has to be split between them. Get the split wrong and the reduction you measured disappears.

  2. 2

    It changes hands

    The crop is bought, sold, and shipped between companies. Each handoff is a chance to lose the link between the reduction and the product that carries it.

  3. 3

    It can be claimed twice

    Without a shared record, the same tonne of reduction can be counted by more than one company — and the whole claim stops meaning anything.

Intake

It starts with the data — plots, volumes, and measured carbon.

A processor brings in what it already buys: land plots with boundaries, commodity volumes in bushels, and MRV carbon intensity — plus processing emissions and reference factors. Import a connected program or enter fields by hand. Issuance is a consequence of that intake, never a typed-in number.

  1. Cargill Regen Connect

    Field-level MRV across millions of bushels of enrolled regenerative acres.

  2. Hyphen Eddy-Covariance flux

    Direct net-flux measurement from in-field towers — our own MRV stack.

  3. Bring your own MRV

    Import the grower's own data, or enter fields by hand. Both paths, one pipeline.

The lot

It starts with one low-carbon harvest.

A farm grows a soybean lot with a measured carbon footprint. Nset quantifies it and issues a certificate that carries that footprint — and how sure we are of it — wherever the crop goes next.

The crush

When the crop becomes two products, the footprint has to split — honestly.

Crush the lot and you get meal and oil. Choose how the carbon splits between them and watch the numbers recompute live — the total always lands exactly where it started, nothing leaks.

The integrity engine

How the carbon splits between meal and oil

Heartland crushes soybeans into meal and oil. The climate footprint carried from the farm comes through unchanged — choosing how to split it only decides how much each product carries, never the total.

Splitting by economic only decides how much of this footprint each product carries. The total itself never changes.

Same total footprint, split three ways

kg CO2e per kg of product

One total footprint, three honest ways to share it between meal and oil. Change the method and each product's share moves while the total above holds steady — that reconciliation, defensible across a crush and a change of hands, is what you can't build in-house.

Nothing went missing

Does not reconcile
0 t CO2e in → 0 t CO2e out · what went in came out, nothing unaccounted

The handoff

The meal moves to another company — and the footprint moves with it.

Nset records the move; it never owns the attribute. Only the company that ends up holding it can make the claim, so the same tonne can never be counted twice. Here's what it costs to move — priced on the value created, never more.

Pricing playground

Priced on the value created, never above our cost to serve

We never charge more than a sliver of the crop price, never more than a slice of the green premium, and always cover our cost to serve. Whichever limit is tightest wins. Move the inputs and watch which one sets the price.

The deal

Environmental performance sells alongside the commodity.

The processor packages a slice of a position into a customer deal — reserve a partial quantity, quote an environmental premium anchored on the abatement it represents, contract, and settle on shipment. Settlement is two-sided: the seller ships and invoices, the buyer accepts and pays. The premium is a separate layer from the platform fee — what the seller charges, not what it costs to move — and what the processor keeps stays on its corporate book. In the console, switch "Acting as" to the buyer to accept the settlement.

The claim

How we know this is real.

When the buyer retires the certificate against a Scope 3 target, it ships with an audit-ready record: measured on the farm, adjusted for uncertainty, split across products, and a conservative, independently verified claim.
