As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes, achieving the 1.5 Celsius target is inextricably linked to the large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Within this context, the Voluntary Carbon Market is a key mechanism for channeling investments toward critical CDR methods.

In this session we’ll explore an introduction to carbon credit projects and do a deep dive on biochar. As a leading novel method of CDR, biochar accounted for 94% of CDR delivered in 2023 according to CDR.fyi. Moreover, Puro.earth highlights a burgeoning trend in biochar adoption, noting that business retirement of CORCs from biochar projects surged over 160-fold in the past four years. Join us to uncover practical insights into the transformative potential of biochar carbon credits and understand how they can accelerate your sustainability goals.

Topics we will cover:

✅ Types of carbon credits: Nature-based vs engineered vs hybrid
✅ How to evaluate carbon credit quality within those types
✅ Overview of biochar as a category of CDR
✅ The scientific fundamentals of biochar
