Cool Effect Partners with Mitti Labs to Add Rice Methane Reduction to Carbon Credit Portfolio

Cool Effect, a Bay Area nonprofit specializing in superpollutant carbon credits, has partnered with Bengaluru and NYC-based Mitti Labs to include rice methane reduction projects in its portfolio. This expansion adds a third scalable category alongside ozone-depleting substances and landfill methane. Between 2024 and 2025, Cool Effect purchased over 3.3 million tonnes of superpollutant credits, supporting emissions reductions and benefiting smallholder farmers by increasing income and conserving water in India’s water-stressed regions.
