Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
In the fast-evolving world of GreenFi and regenerative climate tech, few companies embody innovation and credibility like InPlanet. Based in Brazil and Germany, InPlanet has emerged as a global leader in Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) — a process that removes atmospheric CO₂ by applying finely crushed rock to agricultural fields.
In March 2025, Fast Company named InPlanet one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Latin America, placing it in the ranks of global pioneers like Nvidia, Waymo, and Duolingo. The recognition reflects InPlanet’s game-changing work in scaling ERW as both a carbon removal solution and a natural soil enhancer.
Founded in 2022 by Felix Harteneck and Niklas Kluger, InPlanet is a remote-first, people-centered company headquartered in Brazil and Germany.
What Makes InPlanet So Innovative?
InPlanet is the first company in the world to:
- Deliver verified carbon removal credits from ERW
- Build scalable operations in tropical agriculture
- Partner with small and large-scale farmers to regenerate soil while capturing CO₂
Their flagship process uses basalt rock powder to:
- Permanently remove atmospheric CO₂ through mineralization
- Restore soil health by adding key nutrients
- Improve pH levels, reducing the need for chemical inputs
- Increase crop productivity and water retention
“A year ago, Enhanced Weathering was considered too complex to track. Now, we have proven it can be done.” — Dr. Matthew Clarkson, Head of Carbon at InPlanet.
Brazil: A Fertile Ground for Carbon Removal
With over 33% of its land used for farming and abundant basalt deposits, Brazil is the ideal setting for large-scale ERW deployment. The tropical climate accelerates the weathering process up to 10 times faster than in temperate zones, making it both more efficient and more impactful.
InPlanet’s strategy focuses on partnering with Brazilian farmers to:
- Apply basalt powder across farmlands
- Transition toward regenerative, low-carbon agriculture
- Generate high-quality carbon credits
From Field to Credit: A Breakthrough for the Carbon Market
In January 2025, InPlanet made headlines by issuing the world’s first verified ERW-based carbon removal credits, verified by the carbon registry Isometric. These credits:
- Represent 1 ton of CO₂ removed per credit
- Were delivered to major buyers like Adyen
- Are traceable and auditable on-chain
This moment proved ERW’s viability in the voluntary carbon market (VCM) and established a blueprint for other ERW projects to follow.
Why This Matters for Terra Yield
At Terra Yield, we view InPlanet as a trailblazer in our shared mission to connect basalt, carbon finance, and regenerative agriculture.
Just like InPlanet, Terra Yield Token (TYT) is:
- Backed by real-world basalt reserves from a mine in Albania
- Positioned to distribute green dividends from mining and CO₂ certificate sales
- Tied to a scalable model for global soil and climate regeneration
We are watching InPlanet’s work closely as it sets the standard for:
- Scientific MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification)
- Carbon registry transparency
- Market acceptance of ERW as a scalable climate solution
A Gigaton-Scale Vision
InPlanet’s target for 2026 is nothing short of transformative: to sequester 1 million tonnes of CO₂ through basalt application. Their early successes validate a global roadmap for:
- Climate-positive farming
- High-quality, permanent carbon removal
- Empowerment of rural and agricultural communities
Final Thoughts: InPlanet Proves the Model Works
For Terra Yield and other pioneers in the GreenFi space, InPlanet represents more than a case study. It is proof of concept that basalt-based carbon removal can scale, can be verified, and can create tangible value for ecosystems and economies alike.
InPlanet’s leadership gives momentum to the entire ERW and RWA-tokenization movement. We are proud to share this ecosystem with them.
