Biochar Carbon Project Development
Turn biochar production into accredited carbon removal. We deliver feasibility, methodology selection, MRV architecture, validator management, registry submission, and commercial placement so removal claims convert into issued credits and contracted revenue.
Program scope and commercial terms are provided after underwriting and approvals. Request a proposal.

Scope Of Services
Screening & Feasibility
- Feedstock audit, supply security, contamination risk, seasonal variability
- Technology review: pyrolysis configuration, throughput, uptime profile
- Pre-feasibility carbon model with low/base/high scenarios and sensitivities
Methodology & Project Design
- Registry pathway mapping with decision tree and fallback options
- Boundary, baseline, permanence, leakage, and uncertainty treatment
- Biochar quality standards alignment (EBC/IBI) and H:Corg ratio controls
MRV Architecture
- Mass and energy balance, sampling strategy, lab assay plan
- Biochar carbon content quantification and stability factors
- Digital data capture, custody, QA/QC, and audit trail
Validation & Registry Submission
- VVB shortlisting, RfP, and audit readiness
- PDD drafting, calculation sheets, evidence annexes
- Registry onboarding, submission, and CAR/NC response management
Commercial & Offtake
- ERPA structuring, auction design, floors and collars where suitable
- Portfolio placement and buyer diligence pack
- Optional insurance review for non-delivery and reversal risk
Agronomy & End Use
- Soil application protocols, blend ratios, and monitoring of co-benefits
- Non-soil applications: building materials, composites, filtration media
- Chain-of-custody and claims governance to prevent double counting
Use Cases And Rules
Representative Use Cases
- Municipal green waste and forestry residues converted to biochar
- Agricultural residues near-season pyrolysis with soil application
- Industrial waste streams with controlled contaminants and assays
- Distributed kilns aggregated into a programmatic crediting framework
Governing Frameworks
- Registry methodologies and validator guidance
- Biochar quality standards and environmental permits
- KYC and sanctions screening across counterparties
- Claims rules and corresponding adjustments where relevant
Methodology fit, feedstock profile, and end-use pathway determine feasibility, issuance timeline, and liquidity.
Eligibility And Data Room
Baseline Profile
- Defined feedstock supply with contracts or MoUs
- Pyrolysis capacity, uptime plan, and SOPs for HSE
- End-use partners or agronomy plan with application sites
- Budgeting for sampling, assays, monitoring, and verification
Core Documents
- Process flow diagrams, mass balance, and equipment specs
- Feedstock characterization and contamination screening
- Biochar assay results or testing plan with accredited labs
- Draft project description, timelines, and contracting model
A detailed checklist is issued at intake. Underwriting begins once core items are complete.
Indicative Parameters
| Quantification Basis | Biochar carbon content and stability factor, life-cycle deductions, verified end-use deployment. |
| Sampling & Testing | Statistical sampling per batch or production tranche, accredited lab assays, periodic proficiency checks. |
| Monitoring Cadence | Continuous production data capture with periodic verification. Frequency set by methodology and VVB plan. |
| End-Use Evidence | Application logs, delivery notes, geo-tagged records, agronomic monitoring where applicable. |
| Key Risk Controls | Chain-of-custody, uncertainty analysis, contamination controls, insurance review where suitable. |
| Commercial Options | Spot sales, forwards, ERPAs with floors or collars, portfolio placements across buyers. |

Request A ProposalFAQ
Do you operate or supply equipment?
No. We provide advisory, documentation, and commercial support. Operations and equipment are under the client’s control.
Which registries can be used?
Registry choice is determined during feasibility based on methodology fit, data availability, and validator guidance.
How is removal quantified?
By testing biochar carbon content and stability, applying methodology factors, deducting emissions across the life cycle, and validating end-use deployment.
What drives timelines?
Feedstock stability, production uptime, testing throughput, validator scheduling, and registry processing. A complete data room shortens the cycle.
Can credits be pre-sold?
Forward sales may be available subject to diligence, delivery profile, and buyer mandate. Terms are addressed during offtake structuring.
