What is Fusinite?
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.

Carbon Storage Security (CSS) Analytical Package
Carbon Storage Security (CSS) Analytical Package
The Carbon Storage Security (CSS) Analytical Package offers precise and reliable measurements of biochar carbon permanence. Our analysis includes two primary methods: random reflectance and the molar hydrogen-to-carbon (H/C) ratio per biochar sample. Additionally, we measure reactive secondary hydrocarbons to provide a comprehensive understanding of biochar carbonization and its impact on permanence.

Assessing biochar's permanence: An inertinite benchmark
Hamed Sanei, Arka Rudra, Zia Møller Moltesen Przyswitt, Sofie Kousted, Marco Benkhettab Sindlev, Xiaowei Zheng, Søren Bom Nielsen, Henrik Ingermann Petersen, (2024) Assessing biochar's permanence: An inertinite benchmark, International Journal of Coal Geology, Volume 281, 104409, ISSN 0166-5162, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2023.104409.
Short summary
The Earth's carbon dioxide removal and storage occur via inorganic and organic pathways: mineralization and maceralization. Biochar, imitating the organic pathway, undergoes controlled pyrolysis to transform biomass feedstock through a carbonization process into the inertinite maceral, which is a permanently stable form of organic carbon. Kinetic modeling in this study confirms inertinite's carbon stability over geological time scale. Assessing biochar's permanence hence hinges on achieving complete carbonization and transformation. Inertinite serves as the gold standard for organic carbon permanence, guiding this study to measure biochar's carbonization against inertinite characteristics. Analyzing the random reflectance (Ro) of biochar reveals that 76% of studied samples qualify as pure inertinite. Apart from inertinite, other organic pools in biochar, quantifiable through geochemical pyrolysis and Ro methods, affect stability. Determining the carbonization temperature offers insights into biochar's efficiency and stability concerning production variables.
