Biochar & Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW): Gaining More Terrain

  • Biochar accounted for 90+% of credits delivered so far. Why is it so popular and does MRV readiness play a leading role, besides price and delivery?
  • The potential for storing carbon in soil is greater than previously believed. ERW and biochar also promise to re-shape agriculture. What is the expected path for both, and what can obstruct growth?
  • Both methods either are or will likely become “conventional” project development businesses. What implications does this have from a financing and partnership perspective? Are VCs the right funders for these methods?
  • What is more important when using and financing these technologies: higher crop yields and improved crop health or carbon removal capacity in soil?
