Evolutions in Measurement Tools and Guidance: Understanding Verra's Soil Sampling Handbook and Its Implications on SOC Measurement

As soil carbon markets mature, industry leaders are exploring how to measure SOC credibly, consistently, and at scale.

New technologies are rapidly reshaping what's possible: from in-field sensing and direct soil sampling innovations to hybrid measurement approaches that combine models, remote sensing, and empirical data. At the same time, evolving standards — like Verra's updated VM0042 methodology and Soil Sampling and Analysis (SSA) Handbook — are raising the bar for rigour, transparency, and uncertainty management.

This webinar brought together leaders across measurement technology, project development, and scientific modelling to explore how these innovations intersect in practice.
