🧑🔬 Have you seen the latest academic paper on the permanence of biochar carbon removal (hashtag#BCR)?
🪨 The authors - many of whom would not have agreed even just one year ago - confirm biochar's stability in the environment making BCR one of the most credible CDR solutions available *today*.
🤔 So what makes BCR a CDR powerhouse?
🤯 Well, let’s start with the numbers. According to CDR.fyi 2024 Q2 saw record-shattering deliveries of 90K of which 99% came from BCR.
✅ BCR one of the few fully deployable CDR technologies that can provide verifiable, long-term carbon sequestration with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 8-9.
🚜 Beyond carbon removal, BCR supports co-benefits such as enhancing soil health, promoting water retention, increasing crop resilience, while providing socio-economic advantages to rural communities through regenerative agriculture and sustainable land management.
🌍 With consensus growing within the scientific community, it is becoming increasingly clear that BCR should be a cornerstone of every CDR portfolio if we want to achieve a net-negative global carbon balance by 2050.
🪙🪙 My two cents: I see the main impact of this paper in the diversity of its authors. Creating consensus around the latest biochar permanence science is critical and this paper constitutes a big step in that direction.

👏 Huge shoutout the the authors David Chiaramonti, Johannes Lehmann, Franco Berruti, Paola Giudicianni, Hamed Sanei, and Ondrej Masek.
