Would you like a new revenue stream from manure you already handle?
A carbon asset backed by continuous, verifiable farm data?
Methane forms when volatile solids break down anaerobically in lagoon storage. For dairy, hog and other livestock operations, FIRST WAVE™ removes up to 98.5% of suspended solids before the slurry reaches storage — preventing the methane those solids would have produced from forming. Every metric ton of CO2e avoided can represent one verified carbon credit, turning better manure management into a potential new revenue opportunity.
The revenue potential
Each cow can generate an estimated 4–8 carbon credits a year. Move the sliders for a rough annual range — then let us run the real numbers for your operation.

Historical carbon credit pricing has varied significantly and past pricing is not a forecast. Nothing here is an offer or a guarantee of revenue.

Questions
One credit represents one ton of CO2e that was prevented from being emitted. In this case, high-efficiency liquid/solid separation removes volatile solids before lagoon storage, so the methane those solids would have produced is never formed. The reduction is quantified against a baseline, independently validated, and issued by a registry.
LWR's FIRST WAVE™ is the first system to issue chemical solid separation methane avoidance credits under VERRA. Being first means the protocol pathway is established and proven — a credible, repeatable route to issuance rather than a first-of-its-kind experiment.
Each cow can generate an estimated 4–8 carbon credits per year through methane reduction. The actual figure depends on herd size, existing manure handling, baseline storage conditions and the protocol methodology applied. Use the estimator above for a directional range, then we will model your specific operation.
Not the farm. LWR provides system startup, data-driven support and ongoing optimization. Our carbon partners, quantifies the methane reductions and manages credit creation and monetization. Independent standards and registries validate the project and provide the verification framework.
No. Manure as a Service is a monthly subscription with zero-capex installation — farmer operated, LWR supported — and it is the model best suited to carbon-focused partnerships. Lease-to-own with 5-year financing and immediate capital purchase are both available as well.
Yes — that is the design intent. Carbon credits come first, with feed additive adoption programs, water benefits and credits (under development), and future incentive programs layering onto the same measured data foundation.
The farm-level gains start with the system. Increased nutrient control, crop productivity, herd capacity and off-farm nutrient sales; decreased hauling costs, nutrient losses, odours, mastitis and SCC. On our Washington project, over $400,000 was saved in liquid manure trucking costs alone. These figures come from a single farm installation — results vary with your current operations and management practices.
WEBINAR
Discover how livestock producers can turn smarter manure management into measurable methane reductions and potential new revenue. Our Carbon Credits Webinar breaks down how carbon markets work, what makes a project eligible, and how LWR can help turn environmental impact into financial opportunity.
Quick & easy
Data driven, protocol backed, and flexible to finance. Tell us about the operation and we will come back with a quantified view of the credits, the timeline and the ownership model that fits.
