Which registry credits this portfolio highest

Every sample scored under all seven standards, summed. The leader is the standard that would credit the most CO₂ today — not advice on which to enrol in.

Soil temperature 15°C

Gross figures only. No deduction has been made for sample variance, buffer pools, leakage, verification, or any registry’s own eligibility rules. Enrolment decisions need the full methodology, not this table.

CO₂ removal by sample

Each sample under all seven standards, so you can see which batches are consistent and which swing depending on the registry.

Baseline

Pick the sample this scenario starts from.

Base sample

Measured by the laboratory. Not editable.

Your assumptions

Four values for this sample. Each opens at what is already on record, so nothing changes until you change it. Batch mass and carbon price are set once for the whole portfolio, on the Overview tab.

Dry matter (as received) %

Sets dry biochar mass, so it scales every yield and revenue figure. Where the laboratory recorded no value there is nothing to fall back on — whatever you enter is your own assumption.

Estimated dry biochar yield fraction

frac

Dry biochar recovered per 100 units of dry feedstock. The workbook interpolates this from H/C_org, so the default is an estimate rather than a measurement. It drives the per-tonne-of-biomass intensity figures only — absolute tonnage and revenue are unaffected.

Mean annual soil temperature °C

°C

Where the biochar will be applied. Moves Puro.earth, Isometric 200yr and Rainbow 100yr. Isometric 1,000yr, Rainbow 1,000yr, C-Sink and Verra do not respond to it.

Production temperature °C

°C

Disclosed by you, not measured in the laboratory, so it is worth testing. Verra VM0044 steps at 350, 450 and 600°C — nothing else in the set uses it.

Registry ladder

Ranked live. The centre column is the permanence factor each standard applies; the line beneath each name is the clause currently limiting it.

Gross permanent CO₂ per tonne dry biomass

Feedstock intensity, independent of batch size. This is the figure the dry biochar yield drives.

Standard	Permanent C_org	t CO₂ / t dry biomass

Response to soil temperature

Each standard swept from 7°C to 40°C at this sample’s chemistry. Where lines cross, the best-paying standard changes.

How much of a tonne of biomass ends up as permanent CO₂

Feedstock efficiency, independent of batch size. Read it as: for every tonne of dry biomass put through the kiln, this much CO₂ is permanently stored under each standard — and that tonnage as a percentage of the biomass mass.

Where the number comes from. Dry biomass becomes dry biochar at the estimated yield (Calculator!D, interpolated from H/C_org). Of that biochar, C_org is organic carbon, and each standard credits a fraction of it as permanent. Carbon becomes CO₂ at 44/12. So: yield × C_org × factor × 44/12. Nothing here depends on how much you ship.

Portfolio average by standard

Averaged across every sample that can be scored. The bar is the percentage of dry biomass mass that becomes permanently stored CO₂.

Reading this the other way round

How much dry biomass you would need to put through the kiln to reach a target tonnage of permanent CO₂, under the leading standard.

Portfolio tonnage is fixed by the lab results. Only the price moves.

Disclaimer and methodological basis

Disclaimer

Fusinite calculations provide comparative estimates of Gross Permanent CO₂ Stored using user-supplied data and selected published methodology equations. Published model-based factors, limits and conservative adjustments expressly applied within these calculations remain included. Unless expressly shown, results exclude additional deductions or withholdings for sample and batch variance, standard deviation, measurement uncertainty, buffers, lifecycle and project emissions, leakage, reversal risk, validation, verification and other registry or methodology requirements. The displayed highest gross estimate identifies only the methodology or methodologies producing the largest calculated gross result, including results within 1% of the highest value. It is not a registry recommendation or endorsement and does not assess project eligibility, methodology compliance, environmental integrity, commercial suitability, market acceptance or the likelihood of credit issuance. Results are provided for informational and comparative purposes only. They do not represent verified or issuable carbon credits, certification, verification, legal or financial advice, or a guarantee of issuance, acceptance or value. Fusinite is not a carbon registry or Validation and Verification Body. Users must confirm eligibility, required deductions and final credit issuance with the applicable methodology owner, registry and Validation and Verification Body.

Methodological basis and limitations

Methodological basis and limitations, versions checked 5 August 2026. Gross permanent CO₂ storage is estimated as dry biochar mass × organic carbon fraction × the applicable methodology-specific permanence or persistence factor × 44/12. Isometric Biochar Storage in Soil Environments v1.2 applies either its 200-year H/Corg and soil-temperature decay model, capped at 95%, or its 1,000-year random-reflectance and non-reactive-carbon pathway. This calculator uses the supplied gross inert fraction and does not apply Isometric’s required one-standard-deviation deductions. Rainbow Biochar Application to Soils v2.3 applies a temperature-banded H/Corg model for 100-year storage and the fraction of residual organic carbon with Ro ≥2% for 1,000-year storage. Puro.earth Biochar Methodology, Edition 2025 v2, applies its CORC200+ persistence model using H/Corg and regional soil temperature. Global Biochar C-Sink Standard v3.3 assigns a 75% geologically persistent carbon fraction to qualifying biochar with H/Corg ≤0.40 and 90% only when all upper-class analytical and representativeness requirements, including Ro ≥3.8% and/or HyPy-resistant carbon ≥90%, are satisfied. Verra VM0044 v1.2 applies a 100-year persistence factor based primarily on production temperature, subject to H/Corg and other methodology requirements. Results are comparative gross estimates based on entered values and selected published permanence equations. Unless expressly shown, they exclude sample variance, standard-deviation deductions, analytical and methodological uncertainty, conservative adjustments, buffers, reversal risk, project and lifecycle emissions, leakage, baseline and additionality requirements, eligible feedstock and end-use restrictions, sampling and batch-representativeness requirements, monitoring, verification and registry-specific deductions or withholdings. Results do not represent issued credits, certification, verification, legal or financial advice, or a guarantee of registry acceptance. Any displayed recommendation identifies only the highest calculated gross storage result, including methods within the stated 1% comparison range, and does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of any registry. Final eligibility and credit issuance must be confirmed with the applicable methodology owner, registry and validation or verification body.
