Biochar sector navigates Core Carbon Principles for credit quality

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market's Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) are reshaping the biochar carbon credit sector by establishing a unified quality baseline. This framework requires carbon-crediting programmes and methodologies, including those from Climate Action Reserve, Isometric, and Verra, to undergo rigorous scrutiny for CCP-Eligible or CCP-Approved status. The aim is to address fragmentation in credit quantification, permanence, and additionality, providing an objective benchmark for high-integrity biochar credits. This standardisation is expected to streamline procurement for corporate buyers and enhance pricing power for developers using approved methodologies. Registries securing timely approvals will gain a market advantage in the evolving VCM.
