WHAT IS CARBON STORAGE SECURITY AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

The Role of Biochar and Biocarbon in CDR

Biochar and biocarbon are carbon-rich materials created through pyrolysis—a process where organic matter is heated in low-oxygen environments. These materials are critical in CDR because they lock atmospheric carbon into a stable form, preventing its release and contributing to long-term carbon sequestration. Biochar, in particular, when applied to soil, improves soil health, water retention, and nutrient availability while storing carbon for hundreds or even thousands of years.

 

The Importance of Carbon Storage Security

The permanence and stability of stored carbon—Carbon Storage Security (CSS)—are crucial for the credibility of carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market. Without a verifiable guarantee that the carbon will remain sequestered for the long term, the value of these credits is diminished. Ensuring that your biochar/ biocarbon products meet strict carbon storage security standards means proving their long-term stability through scientific methods and transparent certification processes.

 

Why Verifiable Carbon Storage is Essential

In the voluntary carbon market, buyers and regulators demand transparency and scientific rigor. They need to know that the carbon credited will not be released back into the atmosphere. Verifiable carbon storage through precise measurements and peer-reviewed science guarantees this permanence. Fusinite ensures that your carbon storage solutions meet these expectations, resulting in higher prices for your carbon credits and greater trust from the market.
