What we do

Map soils. Apply minerals. Measure impacts.

Silicate works with corporates and food and beverage companies to improve the environmental performance of supply chain farms. We implement evidence-based soil pH optimisation and CO2 removal through the enhanced weathering of limestone. 

Using our measurement technology, Silicate tracks a range of benefits including soil productivity, water quality and greenhouse gas emission reductions and removals. 

These independent farm-level data help agri-food companies to deliver on science-based targets that consumers can trust.

Ensure supply chain continuity 

Measurable intervention impacts

Soil and ecosystem resilience

Optimising soil pH using Silicate’s solution enhances soil health and its adaptive capacity to climate stress.

Absolute Scope 3 emissions mitigation

Silicate measures greenhouse gas emissions reductions and removals to improve product carbon footprints.

Supply chain stability and revenue growth

Field mapping and variable-rate spreading reduce input costs, maximise nutrient use efficiency and enhance yields.

Responsible land-use and water security

Silicate’s precise measurement process informs nutrient management – reducing nitrate losses and pollution.

Rooted in research

Ground-breaking science for verifiable primary data

We quantify actual emissions factors from precision limestone application on supply farms to reduce raw material carbon footprints with credibility.
