FCStone Carbon Partners with ClimateSuite on Carbon Credit Management Platform

FCStone Carbon, LLC has signed an agreement to license the ClimateSuite™ enterprise platform from TeraVista Systems, LLC. ClimateSuite is an on-demand back office system that manages emerging carbon offsets by automating the enrollment, verification, registration and aggregation workflow, as well as interaction with exchanges.

“Utilizing the ClimateSuite application will not only assist in verification and automation of carbon credits, but will also reduce costs of managing and registering carbon credits,” said FCStone Carbon President Mike Knobbe. “Additionally, the platform will add value and revenue to our large grain elevator network and producers through streamlining our services at a localized level.”

As part of the license agreement, FCStone Carbon will have access to a separate module within ClimateSuite called ClimateVerify™ for agriculture soil carbon verification. ClimateVerify utilizes third-party data to identify each parcel of land and verify the percentage of crop residue or conservation tillage practices for carbon sequestration.

“We are excited to have FCStone Carbon as an early adopter and partner on the ClimateSuite enterprise platform and other modules. The use of ClimateVerify will assist FCStone by reducing cost and minimizing manual error all while increasing verification among all acres,” said TeraVista Systems President Mark Green.

The platform will control inventory management and be a centralized repository for FCStone Carbon, LLC., which according to Knobbe will reduce overall costs for projects and streamline operations.
