Agricultural waste management can be tedious and costly, but unwanted biomass becomes an asset when you turn it into biochar.
Public and private entities alike are scrambling to meet their carbon-neutral goals, and many are buying biochar-based carbon credits to do it.
For the health of our planet and our atmosphere, carbon removal is the name of the game. But at Planboo, our ambitions go beyond carbon removal.
Bamboo is an optimal source of biochar because it grows faster than any other woody plant, absorbing more CO2 in the process.
A nation of idyllic beauty and economic instability, Sri Lanka provides a perfect setting for biochar production and carbon credit generation.
MRV stands for Measurement, Reporting, and Verifying, and without airtight MRV, it’s impossible to create reliable, trustworthy carbon credits.
The carbon credit system is designed to penalise greenhouse gas emitters and incentivise carbon reduction. But financial incentives can also lead to dishonesty.
By applying biochar to your soil, you are effectively taking carbon out of the atmosphere and burying it in the ground to improve crop fertility.
This is a critical list of elements and ingredients that any biochar-producing farmer or agroforestry project will need to qualify for Carbon Dioxide Removal Credits (CDRCs).
