⛏️ For the project, soil pits are dug by the farmers, where they start a fire and add layers of biomass until what is left is biochar. The artisans are trained to stabilize and control the fire in a way that the generation of smoke is prevented, as this would indicate unwanted methane emissions.

✅ Carbon Standards International together with Dutch Carboneers check if the pyrolysis process is conducted properly. For each biochar batch, a supervisor is present to inspect that the production is carried out correctly.

📱 Every time a batch of biochar is created, farmers need to upload a photo of the mixture application and with that photo, a GPS point, time and date stamp are recorded for that application. This prevents the biochar from being used as cooking fuel, which would release the carbon back into the atmosphere.
