Andes

Andes (Andes Ag, Inc.) is a climate-technology and agricultural-biotechnology company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Alameda, California. Andes engineers and selects beneficial soil microorganisms that are applied alongside seed in commodity row-crop production — corn, soybean, wheat and canola — where they accelerate the natural conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide into stable soil inorganic carbon (carbonate minerals), a process the company calls Microbial Carbon Mineralization. Andes sells the resulting durable carbon dioxide removal as verified credits to corporate buyers and Scope 3 programs, and pays participating growers through the Andes Carbon Program. The company published the first Microbial Carbon Mineralization methodology, developed with EcoEngineers under ISO 14064, and has run field trials with Bayer, Cargill, Corteva, Nutrien and Wilbur-Ellis. Andes has raised roughly $38M, including a Series A co-led by Leaps by Bayer and Cavallo Ventures, and its shares trade on private secondary venues including EquityZen and Nasdaq Private Market. Andes publishes no public API, developer portal, SDK or machine-readable specification.

Andes is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Climate, Carbon Removal, Agriculture, and Agriculture Technology.

Andes’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 6 more developer resources.

  detail: Andes sells soil microbes and the durable carbon-removal credits they generate, not software; its entire public
    surface is a Squarespace marketing site and no api., developer., docs., app. or platform.andes.bio hostname resolves in
    DNS at all.
