High-Quality Carbon Credits from Agricultural Methane Reduction
Frost Methane generates verified carbon credits from dairy and hog manure storages under the Climate Action Reserve's U.S. Livestock protocol — one of the most established and rigorous carbon credit methodologies. We have active operations in New York, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota, with verification experience in California Cap & Invest, insetting and Scope 3 markets.

Bulletproof Credit Quality
Every Frost credit is measured at the source, permanently destroyed, and verified under a rigorous protocol.
Measured, Not Modeled
Best-in-class verification through continuous, remotely monitored telemetry: flow rate, methane concentration, and destruction efficiency. Every credit is backed by real measurement data sampled at 15-minute intervals with >95% sensor accuracy
Permanent Destruction
The methane underlying Frost's credits is destroyed permanently upon measurement. It is not stored underground, sequestered in soil, or cycled through a biological process. Once combusted, the warming potential is eliminated — with no risk of reversal.
Confident Additionality
Frost focuses exclusively on methane sources with no other financial value — gas from manure storages that would otherwise vent directly into the atmosphere. There is no competing use case, no alternative revenue stream, and no question of whether the reduction would have happened anyway.
Beyond Carbon
Frost credits deliver measurable benefits to the farms and communities where we operate — not just tonnes on a registry.
Healthier Communities
Manure storages emit more than methane. Frost's destruction technology eliminates harmful pollutants at the source, directly improving air quality for neighboring families and workers:
Ammonia
A precursor to PM2.5, which is a respiratory irritant linked to chronic lung disease. PM2.5 emissions penetrate deep into lungs, and are linked to heart disease and premature death
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)
Toxic at high concentrations, causes headaches and nausea at low levels
Odor
Reduces manure odors making neighbors happier
Stronger Farms
Frost's process doesn't just reduce emissions — it makes farms more productive and profitable:
Nitrogen retention
Covering the storage keeps nitrogen in the manure, reducing the need to purchase synthetic fertilizer.
Reduced manure hauling costs
Excluding rainwater from the covered storage concentrates the manure, and shrinks the volume that needs to be hauled for spreading. A typical dairy will have 500k to 4 million fewer gallons to haul, which is equivalent to 70 to 600 truck loads each year.
Shared revenue opportunities
In some cases, family farms can receive a share of carbon credit revenue, creating a new recurring income stream, depending on herd size and location.
Risk reduction
Eliminates risks of manure overflow into waterways

of global warming from methane
Agricultural manure storages are a significant and growing source of methane emissions worldwide. Destroying methane delivers immediate climate benefits. Methane's short atmospheric lifetime means that every tonne destroyed today has an outsized effect on near-term warming.
