Terrestrial Storage of Biomass emerges as durable carbon removal solution

Terrestrial Storage of Biomass (TSB), also known as wood vaulting or biomass burial, is gaining traction as a durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathway. This method involves storing waste wood in purpose-built vaults to prevent decomposition and maintain its stored carbon. CDR.fyi's review indicates dedicated methodologies from registries and several suppliers issuing credits, with indicative pricing ranging from $100 to $350 per tonne of CO2. Projects prioritise waste wood that would otherwise decompose or be burned, such as urban waste wood or forest-thinning residue, to ensure a genuine climate solution. Key considerations for project quality include baseline assessment, biomass sorting (coarse woody biomass only), preservation of nutrient cycling, and site-specific engineering to ensure long-term carbon storage.
