The Azolla Event

Around 50 million years ago, during the Azolla Event, vast blooms of this tiny fern covered the Arctic Circle—drawing down so much CO₂ that it shifted the Earth’s climate. Today, at Arctic Carbon, we are harnessing Azolla’s ancient power to restore degraded land, enrich soil, and lock carbon away through biochar. It’s a tiny fern with world-changing potential

The inspiration

Our mission is to repurpose degraded land into powerful carbon sinks. By accelerating the growth of azolla and turning it into biochar, we are shortening a process that took millions of years into hours.

The co-benefits

Our Azolla cultivation process actively restores degraded ecosystems while building organic soil carbon. As Azolla thrives, it naturally suppresses invasive species and creates conditions for native wildlife to return. To close the loop, we reapply our own biochar back into the system—enhancing soil health, water quality, and long-term carbon storage.

Where scalability meets technology

Through our partnership with Carbonfuture, our Digital MRV (dMRV) system provides full transparency across every stage. This ensures potential emissions are accurately monitored and verified, right to where our biochar is mixed as a biofertilizer on-site.

Our

Mission

At Arctic Carbon

land once considered useless becomes a cornerstone of global climate solutions. Our vision is to repurpose the overlooked—abandoned shrimp farms, rice paddy fields, and fallow land—into vibrant, productive ecosystems.

Grown for a purpose

Purpose-grown feedstock, when done right, is not a compromise—it’s an opportunity. An opportunity to use nature’s own tools, like Azolla, to create systems that are not just sustainable, but restorative.

Create a scalable solution

The Azolla fern, when grown in carefully selected environments, is a powerful agent for capturing carbon. There is SO much opportunity to grow this fern whether it is on abandoned land or in rice paddy fields.

Careful but effective

Our choice in where we grow starts with conducting rigorous site assessments—biodiversity surveys, hydrology mapping, soil organic carbon testing, and dozens of other indicators—before we ever plant a single fern. We choose only degraded, underutilized lands where restoration is both possible and meaningful. We are meticulous because our goal is not just to grow Azolla—it’s to leave every site richer, healthier, and more resilient than we found it.

By the end of our lease

We don’t just leave behind carbon credits. We leave behind soil that holds more life, water systems that function better, and landscapes that have been reclaimed by nature

Our

Vision

To make Arctic Carbon a model for how carbon removal is done. Ecological restoration, and local prosperity can go hand-in-hand. We see every degraded plot as a chance to rebuild, renew, and reimagine what’s possible.

The future we believe in isn’t theoretical. It’s being built—one pond, one aquatic fern, and one restored ecosystem at a time.

Built for

Impact

We Advance These UN Global Goals

Arctic Carbon transforms degraded land into living carbon sinks—removing CO₂, enriching soil, and empowering local communities.

Our model creates durable carbon credits

While supporting regenerative agriculture, biodiversity, and rural livelihoods. We actively advance key UN SDGs, including Climate Action (13), Life on Land (15), Zero Hunger (2), No Poverty (1), Decent Work (8), and Partnerships for the Goals (17).

From ecosystems to economies, we’re building a more balanced, equitable, and resilient future.

One fern at a time.

Our goal is to build the blueprint for climate regeneration.
