A deep dive into the challenges and innovations in the market. Biochar is the most delivered carbon removal (CDR) pathway globally—accounting for over 90% of tonnes issued to date. But in a fragmented market of suppliers, registries, and project types, the question remains: what truly makes a biochar project high-quality? This session will cut through the noise. Drawing from frontline experience vetting and verifying leading biochar projects, Supercritical and Puro.earth will explore the operational, scientific, and policy signals buyers need to navigate this fast-growing market. We’ll unpack how quality is measured, what emerging technological innovations mean for integrity, and where biochar fits into the compliance-grade future of carbon markets.
Key Topics:
- Market Insights
- Procurement & Project Quality
- Technology Innovation
- Permanence & Standards Evolution
