Carbon Offsets
How Biochar Mitigates Climate Change
Explore the carbon offset benefits of
Regreen Biochar
Biochar plays a crucial role in offsetting CO2 emissions by capturing and storing carbon in the soil.
Typically, organic waste in agriculture would decompose, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
However, through a process called pyrolysis, Biochar is produced. Its unique structure prevents the rapid breakdown of organic matter, acting as a stable carbon sink when farmers apply it in the soil. This sequestration keeps carbon from being released into the air as CO2.
What are Carbon Credits?
Biochar carbon credits measure the quantity of carbon that would have otherwise been released into the atmosphere but is now safely stored in the ground via the application of Biochar.
Carbon credits are a recognized and tradable asset. They serve as proof that a certain amount of carbon has been sequestered through sustainable practices.
Farmers or businesses can then sell or trade these credits on carbon markets. Entities that purchase carbon credits can use them to offset their own carbon footprint.
