A new integration connects Bushel’s on-farm data with Verity’s sustainability modeling to securely and permissionedly share data from farmers to improve carbon scoring, documentation, and access to market-based incentives for verifiable grain.

The release highlights transparent grain sourcing and readiness for future carbon market regulation, noting that broad adoption will depend on farmer opt-in and scalability beyond the pilot.

Gevo’s Verity and Bushel collaboration links Bushel’s farm data with Verity’s MRV platform to enhance traceability of practices affecting carbon intensity and expand opportunities for verifiable incentives.

The press materials include standard media contact details for Heather Manuel at Gevo and Julia Eberhart at Bushel.

Gevo’s broader context includes leadership changes, carbon credit milestones, and ongoing IP/tech development, with the integration aligning with efforts to expand verifiable data and carbon markets via Verity.

The collaboration may raise benefits like higher carbon credit value but faces challenges such as pilot-only scope and farmer opt-in, with limited discussion of implementation obstacles in the release.

Both Gevo and Verity frame the collaboration as practical, implementable solutions that securely connect data in a permissioned way, not just promotional carbon pitches.

Regulatory context from U.S. Treasury guidance under Section 45Z underscores the growing importance of verifiable carbon intensity data for program eligibility and value.

The first pilot will run at Gevo’s North Dakota ethanol facility in Richardton, using secure data flow from enrolled farmers through Bushel to Verity for carbon scoring and documentation.

This pilot aligns with North Dakota’s Clean Sustainable Energy Authority grant framework and illustrates a broader push toward traceable, verifiable carbon data to determine eligibility and value for 45Z credits.

Background context notes Gevo’s sustainability initiatives, Bushel’s North American market footprint, and potential impact on farmers and grain buyers seeking verifiable, carbon-aware sourcing.

Verity’s leadership emphasizes building confidence in sustainability data and delivering verified carbon intensity scoring to more stakeholders, starting at the farm level to drive decisions and incentives.
