Welcome to Perennial.
Perennial is building the world's leading verification platform for soil-based carbon removal. Our vision is to unlock soil as the world's largest carbon sink. To do that, we are building trusted standards, tools, and technologies to help verify climate-smart agriculture.
Perennial uses the world's most advanced remote measurement technology for soil carbon sequestration and emissions.
