FAQ

The name "Fusinite" is derived from fusinite, a type of inertinite maceral commonly found in coal and other carbonaceous materials. Fusinite is known for its high degree of carbonization and resistance to oxidation, making it a key indicator of long-term carbon stability and permanence. By adopting this name, Fusinite highlights its commitment to ensuring the stability, durability, and permanence of carbon storage, which are critical factors in the assessment and certification of biochar and other carbon-rich materials. This reflects Fusinite’s mission to provide scientifically grounded verification of carbon storage security for the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) industry
