Biochar Today proposes three-tier framework for biochar carbon credit classification

Biochar Today has proposed a three-tier framework to classify biochar products, aiming to improve market clarity and carbon credit integrity. The framework categorises biochar based on documentation strength, feedstock identity, production records, intended application, and carbon credit eligibility. This system seeks to provide a common language for stakeholders to understand the quality and traceability of biochar products. It is intended to complement, rather than replace, existing certification systems and carbon accounting methodologies. The initiative addresses the increasing diversity of biochar products entering the market and their varying levels of transparency.
