GHGE Study Confirms Lucent Bio's Sustainable Fertilizers Turn Farming Climate-Positive

On average 2.3 tonnes of CO₂e sequestered per acre; scale-up signals momentum in sustainable Agtech

VANCOUVER, BC., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucent Biosciences ("Lucent Bio"), an award-winning sustainable Agtech company, has completed an extensive greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) study, revealing a significant advance in climate-smart agriculture. Greenhouse and field trials confirm that Lucent Bio's proprietary fertilizer technology, Soileos, can sequester an average 2.3 tonnes of carbon per acre, with peak results reaching 10 tonnes in select crops and environments. This lays the foundation for low-carbon or even climate-positive wheat, corn and soy crops, and a more resilient agri-food system.

Lucent Bio's GHGE trials demonstrate that its products support improved soil microbiome activity and increase total organic carbon, key indicators of healthier soils.

Made from upcycled agricultural byproducts and free from microplastics and synthetic chelators, Lucent Bio's fertilizer technology embodies a circular approach to crop nutrition.

As demand for low-carbon solutions in farming accelerates, Lucent Bio is rapidly scaling; it has quadrupled year-over-year sales of Soileos and is preparing to begin a seed coating facility. These developments advance Lucent Bio's mission to scale climate-positive, circular crop inputs and build a more sustainable agri-food system.

"Our fertilizers are delivering measurable impact in the field, turning crop production climate-positive," said Michael Riedijk, CEO of Lucent Bio. "This isn't potential. It's happening now, backed by third-party data and ready to scale. We're proud to make solutions for farmers and the environment."

"The results validate the science behind our technology," said Farah Nour, Chief Science Officer at Lucent Bio. "By optimizing crop inputs for nutrient efficiency and soil carbon sequestration, we're leveraging circular chemistry to deliver scalable, climate-positive solutions that are field-ready."

Lucent Bio's technologies are already integrated into commercial farm operations across North America, delivering increased productivity and environmental value. As food producers, brands, and retailers work to decarbonize supply chains, Lucent Bio offers a practical, science-driven solution supporting productivity and climate resilience.

With global agri-food systems under pressure to meet the dual challenge of feeding a growing population while reducing agriculture's environmental footprint, Lucent Bio proves agriculture can be part of the climate solution.
