The Climate Action Reserve recently adopted its inaugural U.S. and Canada Biochar Protocol, opening a new pathway for high-quality credits from natural climate solutions in the global voluntary carbon market. Biochar production leverages the productive use of various feedstocks, often considered waste biomass, including non-merchantable residues from timber harvests and fuel thinnings. The U.S. and Canada Biochar Protocol supports activities that divert biomass from business-as-usual uses, convert it into biochar, and apply it in ways that ensure long-term carbon storage. This initiative mobilizes capital for climate projects, engages communities, and achieves significant global GHG reductions.
Join us in this webinar featuring the Reserve’s very own Jon Remucal, Director of Nature-Based Solutions, and Marissa Spence, Forest Manager, as they delve into the process of quantifying, monitoring, reporting, and verifying the climate benefits of biochar production and use. Additionally, they will introduce the tools developed by the Reserve to aid project management and credit quantification, and outline opportunities for you to participate in our program.
