How It Works

We handle everything between your manure and your money. You farm. We do the rest.

1

We Visit Your Farm

Our team comes to your operation, walks your barn, measures your lagoon, and collects the data needed for the carbon intensity calculation. One visit. Two to three hours. The audit is completely free. Our per-head service fee — $16.50 dairy, $12.50 beef, $1.25 swine — is paid back from your first commission cheque.

2

We Run the Numbers

Using the government-mandated GHGenius[3] and Fuel LCA models[4], we calculate your farm's exact carbon intensity score and credit potential. You receive a detailed Carbon Feasibility Report showing precisely what your manure is worth.

3

We Help Fund Your Digester

We navigate every available grant — the Agricultural Clean Technology programme,[5] provincial programs, and regional incentives. The funding model is performance-based: any remaining balance is financed and payments are made directly from your revenue cheques. You never write a cheque out of pocket — the digester pays for itself from the income it generates.

4

We Handle All Compliance

We register your farm in the federal CFR-CATS portal[6], file your pathway application, coordinate third-party verification, and manage annual compliance reporting. We monitor your digester remotely from our dashboard. You never touch a government form.

5

We Sell Your Credits & Send Your Cheque

We aggregate your credits with other farms into premium-priced blocks, negotiate sales with obligated parties like Shell and Suncor, and deposit 95% of the revenue to your bank account. Every payment comes with a transparent statement showing exactly what your cows produced and what it sold for.

A Benjamin Franklin decision sheet. Every question a farmer asks at the kitchen table — and every honest answer.

20-year gross revenue from your manure

$5,683,500

$284,175/yr × 20 years — credits + gas + fertiliser savings

Your total out-of-pocket cost

$1,250

Free audit. Per-head service fee paid back from first commission. Digester funded through grants + performance-based financing — payments come from your revenue cheques.

What you get

$249,375/year in carbon credit revenue

Your 95% of 750 tonnes[7] × $350.[8] Oil companies are legally required to purchase these credits under the Clean Fuel Regulations.[2]

$4,987,500 over 20 years

Credit prices are rising, not flat

CI targets tighten every year through 2030.[2] The compliance ceiling hit $319/credit in 2024,[8] with forward pricing above $350.[9] At $500/tonne your 95% share becomes $356,250/year.

Legislated upward — your asset appreciates

$26,800/year in gas sales — no politics required

Your surplus methane, upgraded to pipeline quality, sold to utilities at 4–12× conventional gas prices.[10] This revenue exists regardless of carbon credit legislation.

$536,000 over 20 years — policy-independent

$8,000/year in fertiliser savings

Digestate replaces synthetic nitrogen on your fields.[11] As fertiliser costs rise, this number rises with them.

$160,000 over 20 years

A paid-for asset that produces for 20+ years

We navigate every available grant[5] and finance the balance on a performance basis — payments are made directly from your revenue cheques.[12] You never pay out of pocket. The digester pays for itself from the income it generates.

You own everything

You own the digester. You own the credits. ACC is your consulting partner — we handle the paperwork, compliance, and credit sales so you can focus on farming.

ACC handles everything

Grants, construction, pathway registration, credit trading, gas sales, monitoring, maintenance, annual compliance reporting. You provide the manure.

Your lagoon stops being a liability

Methane captured instead of vented. Environmental farm plan risk item resolved. Manure goes from compliance cost to income source.

What you're really asking at this table

"This sounds too good to be true."

It does. But the numbers aren't projections — they're arithmetic applied to published emission factors,[7] published credit prices,[8] and federal law.[2]

Ask us to show you the math. It's four equations.

"What if the carbon credit price crashes?"

At $150/tonne your credit revenue drops to $106,875/year. But the digester is paid for. The gas still sells. The fertiliser savings remain.

Worst case: $107K credits + $35K gas & fertiliser = $142K/yr

"We've been burned by consultants before."

Every farmer has. The difference: ACC's 5% fee means ACC only makes money when you make money. If your digester stops producing, ACC's revenue drops too.

You keep 95% of money you didn't know existed yesterday.

"What if ACC goes under?"

Your digester is built, paid for, and producing methane. 19,000 eligible farms[13] and a structural credit deficit[8] mean another manager steps in.

The equipment survives the company.

"What happens when we sell the farm?"

The digester and ACC membership transfer with the operation. The buyer inherits an asset producing $280,000+/year. Your farm just became worth significantly more.

A revenue-producing asset increases your sale price.

"How long before we actually see money?"

15–18 months. Grant applications, construction, pathway registration. The first cheque is not next month. It's next year. But when it arrives, it arrives every year for twenty years.

First cheque: ~18 months. Then annually for 20 years.

"What about the 5% that goes to ACC?"

Can you file a lifecycle carbon intensity calculation with ECCC? Register a pathway? Negotiate RNG contracts with Enbridge? The 5% buys a fully managed consulting service.

Five cents on every dollar for complete management. You keep ninety-five.

"Nobody else around here is doing this."

Fewer than 140 farms in all of Canada have digesters.[1] 99.77% of agricultural methane goes uncaptured.[1] You're not late. You're early.

First mover gets the best economics.

The stress test — what if everything goes wrong?

Credits drop to $150/t Net income falls to ~$142,000/yr. Digester is paid for. Gas still sells. Still $142K/yr from waste.
Credits disappear entirely Gas ($26,800) + fertiliser ($8,000) = $34,800/yr from a paid-for asset. Not life-changing. Still better than zero.
ACC fails in Year 3 Digester is built and paid for. 19,000 farms[13] and a credit deficit[8] mean another manager steps in. Your asset survives.

"The left column is money you didn't know you had. The right column is every reason you've ever had not to trust someone who drove up your lane. Both are real. But only one of them puts a cheque in your hand every year for twenty years."

💪 Even Without Credits — Your Digester Pays For Itself

What if the government changes the programme?

$40,000–$60,000/yr in bedding savings from recycled manure solids[11] — no government required.

$8,000–$12,000/yr in fertilizer savings from digestate[11] — no government required.

$15,000–$25,000/yr in heating savings from biogas[11] — no government required.

90% odour reduction[16] — no government required.

The credits are the headline. The digester economics are the foundation. The government didn't invent methane. Your cows did. The permanent value was always there.

What Farmers Ask Us

This sounds too good to be true.+
It does. But the numbers aren't projections — they're arithmetic applied to published emission factors, published credit prices, and federal law. The IPCC publishes the emission factors. The Government of Canada publishes the credit prices. The Clean Fuel Regulations are federal statute. The reason this sounds too good is that nobody has ever driven to your farm and done the multiplication for you.
What if Poilievre kills the carbon tax?+
The consumer carbon tax — the one at the gas pump — is politically vulnerable. But your credits are sold under the Output-Based Pricing System and the Clean Fuel Regulations — the industrial compliance mechanisms that require large emitters and fuel producers to buy offset credits. These have bipartisan industry support because they protect Canadian exporters from carbon border adjustments. Repealing the OBPS would expose Canadian manufacturers to trade penalties from Europe and the United States. No Prime Minister is going to invite a trade war to score a domestic political point.
What if the credit price drops?+
At $150/tonne — less than half the current price — your credit revenue drops to about $112,500. But the digester is already paid for. The gas still sells. The fertiliser savings remain. You're still earning over $125,000 per year in new revenue from an asset you own. And even if credits disappeared entirely, the gas and fertiliser alone are worth $34,800 per year.
What if the digester breaks?+
The digester is manufactured by Biolectric NV of Belgium — over 300 installations in twelve countries. It's factory-built, standardised equipment, not a prototype. ACC coordinates all maintenance through our service network. You don't call anyone. You don't file a claim.
What do we actually have to do?+
Direct your manure into the digester instead of the lagoon. That's it. ACC handles the grant applications, digester coordination, carbon intensity calculations, pathway registration, credit sales, gas sales, compliance reporting, and monitoring. You farm. We do the rest.
Why can't we just do this ourselves?+
Can you run a lifecycle carbon intensity calculation in openLCA using ECCC's Fuel LCA Model? Register a pathway in the Credit and Tracking System? Aggregate credits and negotiate sales to oil company compliance desks? Sign an RNG offtake agreement with Enbridge? The 5% fee buys all of these disciplines simultaneously. Attempting to replicate them independently would cost more than 5% before the second credit was filed.
Do we have to decide right now?+
No. Talk about it. Print the legislation and read it — it's public. Call us back when you're ready. The only thing that costs you anything is saying no to $280,000 a year.

About Us

Anderson Carbon Capture is a Canadian startup founded by a team of physicians, biology graduates, and MBAs who share one conviction: the biggest untapped revenue stream in Canadian agriculture is sitting in a lagoon behind every barn.

We combine scientific literacy, financial modelling, and regulatory expertise to help livestock farmers monetise methane they didn't know was worth anything. Our team handles everything from lifecycle carbon intensity calculations to grant applications to credit sales — so the farmer can focus on farming.

"98% of agricultural methane in Canada goes uncaptured. The oil companies need those credits and can't find enough to buy. The farmers have the methane and don't know it's worth anything. We sit at the kitchen table and connect the two."

Anderson Carbon Capture is based in British Columbia with operations across Canada. Our team travels to client regions for farm assessments, while performing lifecycle analysis, managing pathway applications, filing compliance reports, and overseeing credit aggregation.

Our mission: reduce global agricultural methane emissions enough to bend the warming curve within 15 years. Methane is 80× more potent than CO₂ over a 20-year horizon, but it breaks down in roughly a decade — meaning every tonne we capture today has a measurable cooling effect within our lifetimes. By scaling digester adoption across Canada's 19,000 eligible farms and licensing our model internationally, we believe agriculture can go from the world's largest uncontrolled methane source to its fastest climate solution.

Every farm we sign today is a future prospect for a larger vision — a distributed agricultural energy utility that will complete the closed loop from manure to fuel to feed and back again. The carbon credits are how it starts. The energy independence is where it goes.

Thomas Butler Anderson

I started my first company at twenty-two. Student Courier Service, based in Brantford, Ontario, delivered letters for twenty-five cents each on a bicycle. When demand outgrew the bicycle, I bought a motor scooter. When it outgrew the scooter, I hired riders. I ran the company for eight years and sold it to a competitor.

In 1994, I spent four months with Farm Business Consultants in London, Ontario, preparing tax returns for 212 farmers. I sat at their kitchen tables. I learned how they make decisions. Those four months left a permanent mark.

I have spent thirty years selling complex products to people who didn't know they needed them — newspaper advertising, warehouse management software, automotive key accounts, government-mandated child welfare systems deployed across 27 Children's Aid Societies in Ontario. Every one of those roles required the same skill: walking into a room where someone doesn't know they need what you're offering and walking out with a signed agreement. That is the farm audit.

Anderson Carbon Capture was born from a novel. I was writing an alternate history set in Weimar Germany, and one of the characters designed a closed-loop agricultural energy system — manure to biogas, biogas to heat, corn to ethanol, digestate to fertiliser. Every output became an input. I wrote the system for 1928 and realised it actually worked in 2026 Canada.

The opportunity is real. The science is published. The law is passed. The buyers are compelled. The only thing missing is someone in a truck driving to the farm. That's me.
