Carbon Removal Credits and Impacts

Carbon Credits to be proud of

Carbon removal credits – if used responsibly – can accelerate action to avert dangerous climate change. Our projects also address the issue of biodiversity loss.

Reverse Carbon produces biochar that captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stores it in soils, while stabilising and restoring degraded lands. The process gives new life to the surroundings, healing the wounds after human activities, while removing man-made greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

High quality Carbon Removal Credits with Co-benefits

  • Permanent Carbon Removal

    The highest treatment temperature (HTT) of the production process reaches approximately 700 °C which leads to a high fraction of Polycyclic Aromatic Carbon (PAC). The stability of the stable PAC fraction of biochars is believed to be on centennial timescales or greater (Howell et al, 2022)

  • Additional

    Strong additionality since biochar markets are virtually non-existing in less developed regions of the developing world.

  • No double claiming

    We rise ambition. By operating in developing countries without economy-wide NDC targets we can contribute to ambition raising, since the mitigation outcome will not be counted towards a national target.

We secure sustainable biomass sourcing and biochar application

We maintain robust control over the entire value chain, from biomass supply to the final application of biochar. We collaborate with certified industries that have a long-standing history of monitoring the value chain effectively. Our Reverse Carbon Hubs are centered around large-scale, industrial production units, which enables rigorous measurement and monitoring. By conducting sequestration in confined areas, we ensure reliable data collection and maintain stringent control over soil and land use.

Reverse Carbon ensures that our biomass sourcing:

  • Minimises negative impacts on workers and local communities.

  • At a minimum, is not associated with threatening protected areas, reducing regional carbon stocks, or degradation of biodiversity.

  • Our partners are socially conscious actors characterised by strong governance and transparency that follow high international standards, use ESG/sustainability certifications and are frequently audited.

Sustainability & MRV

Reverse Carbon ensures reliable carbon sequestration by:

Proving that the project produces high-quality biochar, which is additional in relation to a verifiable and established baseline production scenario. Furthermore, proving that the biochar is appropriately applied to soils to ensure durable carbon sequestration.

  • Provide batch-level data and traceability, ensuring compatibility with crediting program requirements. MRV protocols from carbon and socioeconomic parameters. This includes ensuring that biochar is not used for combustion applications or other applications that would rapidly release carbon into the atmosphere.

  • Provision of biochar elemental analysis (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen) to substantiate storage durability and account for carbon loss over a 100-year time frame in accordance with the requirements of the chosen crediting programme (we are open to discussing the selection of crediting programme with potential buyers).

  • Ensuring, through chemical analysis carried out by certified labs, that biochar is tested so as to minimise environmental harm (we have had biochar from small-scale pilot production tested to ensure adherence with the European Biochar Certificate’s relevant requirements).

  • Quantifying the utilisation of heat from the pyrolysis process. Excess heat will be used for biomass feedstock drying. Relevant parameters will be measured through the integrated process control system.
