Benefits of Project & Method

  • The projects do not require additional land development as they are initiated from improving (or retrofitting) an existing bioenergy facility to produce biochar.
  • The biochar end-product is stored in urban soils permanently for 100+ years.
  • Biochar used in an urban context has well-documented evidence in to support its creating resilient vegetation and, by extension, cities and habitats.
  • When used to improve soil, biochar enhances plant health by strengthening soil structure and boosting its overall quality.
  • The project transforms bark and wood residues from forestry operations, sawmills or similar operations.
  • The process also produces 100+ MWh of electricity and 7000+ MWh of thermal energy for internal use and supplies the surplus to the district.
  • The project’s MRV system uses Carbonfuture’s dMRV+ that helps track and trace the carbon from sequestration to final storage site.
  • Certification: European Biochar Certificate (EBC)
