Here's what's hot this month:
Tide has become the first fintech company in the world to remove 100% of its emissions with durable carbon removal. Tide removed its emissions by purchasing 3,711 tonnes of durable biochar removal through the carbon removal platform, Supercritical.
Researchers at Washington State University infused regular cement with biochar that had been strengthened beforehand with concrete wastewater to find that biochar was able to suck up to 23% of its weight in carbon dioxide from the air while still reaching a strength comparable to ordinary cement.
New research shows that the increased water retention capacity and strength of biochar amended soil provides evidence that it could be used as a landfill cover material.
A new report presents a detailed analysis of key biochar players in the global market, looking into their capacity, competitive landscape, and latest developments like capacity expansions, plant turnarounds, and mergers and acquisitions.
The founding buyers of carbon removal joint venture, NextGen CDR Facility, have promised to buy 193,125 metric tons of carbon dioxide removal from three projects, including Carbo Culture’s inaugural high technology biochar project in Finland.
Biochar is becoming a catalyst of the circular economy. A German production plant, in which biochar is extracted from cocoa shells, has gone into operation on the landlocked island of Peute on the Nordelbe River in Hamburg-Vedde.
One of Japan's largest producers of rice husk biochar has agreed to form a business alliance which will include the manufacture and sale of rice husk biochar.
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM or Integrity Council) has launched its Core Carbon Principles and Program-level Assessment Framework, setting rigorous thresholds on disclosure and sustainable development for high-integrity carbon credits.
The Carbon Business Council has released its newest policy brief on the 2023 US Farm Bill. The brief covers working lands and agriculture, working forests, aquaculture, and more, including a recommendation for direct-incentive payments by USDA to farmers who use surplus crop and forestry residues for biochar projects rather than burning them and releasing greenhouse gases.
