Pacific Biochar and Humboldt Sawmill scale biochar carbon removal project in California

Pacific Biochar and Humboldt Sawmill Company have scaled their biochar carbon removal project in Scotia, California, integrating biochar production into existing sawmill and bioenergy operations. Operational since 2020, the project has issued over 6,900 credits and anticipates an annual output of approximately 10,000 credits over 30 years. The initiative will transition to a CCP-Approved methodology under Isometric standards in 2025, utilising a low-cost infrastructure retrofit and digital MRV for high carbon integrity. This approach transforms woody byproducts from FSC-certified forests into stable carbon sinks and agricultural soil amendments, with over 95% of sequestered carbon projected to remain stable beyond 200 years. The associated bioenergy facility also generates 156,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually.
