Our Portfolio of Carbon Removal Projects

Our Goal is to scale our CDR Project Portfolio to an annual ‘billion tonne scale’ by 2035 using both nature-based and engineered solutions

Nature-based Projects

9

Regenerative Agriculture

Eastern Cape, South Africa

Biochar use as part of a larger system of regenerative carbon-based practices.

Biochar’s physical and chemical structure enables it to act as a sponge, retaining moisture, micro-organisms and important nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus as well as gases, including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.

This helps farmers struggling with depleted soils and drought.

Biochar Projects in South Africa

Organic material that has been carbonised under high temperatures (300-1000°C), in the presence of little, or no oxygen (‘pyrolysis’ or sometimes ‘gasification’ at higher temperatures).

Biochar is subject to natural decay and the permanence of biochar is calculated for a period of 100 years. Biochar must be utilized within the first year of its production.

2022 – First Biochar method created by VERRA the largest international standard for certifying carbon emission reductions for creating carbon credits

APPLICATIONS OF BIOCHAR (VM0044)

Soil Conditioner

Biochar is eligible to be used as a soil amendment on land other than wetlands. For surface application, the biochar must be mixed with other substrates such as compost, manure or digestate from anaerobic digestion. For subsurface application, the biochar may be applied either as a unique soil amendment or mixed with other substrates.

Animal Farming

Silage agent, Feed additive / supplement, Slurry treatment, Manure composting, Water treatment in fish farming.

Building Sector: High Technology Only 

Biochar is eligible to be used in non-soil applications including but not limited to cement, asphalt, and any other applications where long-term storage of the biochar is possible. Only biochar produced in high technology production facilities, as defined under the methodology, is eligible to be used in non-soil applications.
