Who we are.
GHG Registry was founded by a group of passionate scientists in the agriculture, forestry, and blockchain space. We are passionate about leveraging modern technology to create and fund projects which can lock carbon away permanently to make a legitimate difference.
Our registry is run with the understanding that technology right now is developing faster than it ever has in the past and so we have built our system with the ability to adapt to new technologies quickly. Our 2 game changing piece of technology right now are AI Pedometrics which can effectively replace soil sampling for baselining soil carbon and also a web 3.0 registry that allows for complete transparency.
We believe in building an equitable carbon credit system that allows any farmer in the world to participate regardless of their access to technology. With this approach we hope to get order of magnitudes more engagement than existing registries and thus make a much more significant global impact.
Dr. Asim Biswas

Asim was born and brought up in a small subsistence farm family from a remote village (Poragachha, Asannagar, Nadia) in West Bengal, India. Working and participating in farm activities and the ‘magic in soil that turns a small seed into a big plant or a huge tree’ always fascinated him about soil. Same way ‘why a field soil can grow plants better and another is not’ made him curious.
Now, he is a leading scientist in data driven sustainable soil management and works to increase the productivity and resilience of land-based agri-food production systems in an environmentally sustainable manner.
Dr. Naresh Thevathasan

Naresh grew up in the South Asian country of Sri Lanka. He comes from an agricultural background and developed an interest in tree-based inter-cropping systems after the Sri Lankan government began moving toward diversification of agricultural systems. This is how Naresh developed his interest in agronomy and agroforestry.
Naresh’s research mainly focuses on carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling dynamics in temperate agroforestry systems and purpose-grown biomass crops research and development.
Dr. Sabine Grunwald

Sabine Grunwald, Ph.D., leads the UF Mindfulness Program and is Professor in the Soil and Water Sciences Department, IFAS, UF. She blends expertise and interests in mindfulness, spirituality, environmental and geo-sciences. Inter- and transdisciplinary thinking that integrate human, socio-cultural, ecological and biophysical domains to address wicked global human-environmental problems of our time are of special interest to her.
Dr. Grunwald earned a Ph.D. in environmental sciences from the University in Giessen, Germany, a 1-yr. Graduate Certificate in Integral Studies from Fielding Graduate University, Santa Barbara, CA, and an Authentic Leadership Certificate with Mindfulness training (Naropa University, Boulder, CO).
She studies integral and transpersonal psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, CA. Dr. Grunwald is affiliate faculty member in the UF Center for Spirituality and Health. Since the 1980s, she has practiced qigong, tai chi and various meditation styles including somatic meditation.
