The Supply-Chain Case for Biochar Carbon Removal

The paper examines how coffee processing residue in Colombia is being converted into verified carbon removal credits through IDH's reVive Hub, in partnership with Conservation International.

It draws on real delivery data across the biochar carbon removal market, showing why supply chain integration and proven delivery track records now matter more to buyers than forward contracted volume alone.

Delivery track record: Biochar accounts for 87% of physically delivered durable carbon removal credits, even though contracted volumes across the market remain far larger than what has actually shipped.

Feedstock at scale: Coffee residue from Colombian producers is converted through an established supply chain, following precedents like Volcafe and Cotierra, giving buyers a transparent view from farm to credit.

Buyer diversification: As the durable CDR buyer base broadens beyond a handful of early corporate buyers, projects with delivery-proven supply chains are commanding premiums over forward-only agreements.

Scaling Biochar Carbon Removal in India

India's structural conditions for biochar carbon removal rival those of most other countries. Abundant surplus biomass, declining soil organic carbon, and a policy environment increasingly aligned with durable CDR make it ideally suited for scaling biochar carbon removal projects. This white paper, co-authored by Carbon Removal India Alliance, unpacks what it will take to capitalise on India's potential to develop certified and bankable projects. The paper focuses on the frameworks, standards, and market dynamics shaping how Indian biochar reaches global buyers.

Why India, Why Now: India generates 754 million tons of crop residues each year, much of which is openly burned. This white paper examines how biochar converts this surplus biomass into durable carbon removal, what it takes to develop and certify a project in India, and how the country's structural advantages position it to become one of the world's leading suppliers of high-integrity biochar credits.

Certification Frameworks Compared: Puro.earth, Isometric, Verra VCS, Carbon Standards International, Riverse, and Climate Action Reserve. We break down permanence assumptions, MRV requirements, and what each standard demands from Indian project developers operating in a global procurement market.

Biochar: A Strategic Pillar for Corporate Climate Action

Biochar helps companies address hard-to-abate Scope 3 emissions by delivering durable CO₂ removal and co-benefits for agriculture.

It supports CSRD reporting and SBTi-aligned net-zero pathways, while verified biochar credits can complement direct reductions and create measurable business value.

Durable carbon removal: 1 tonne of biochar can permanently store 2–3 tonnes of CO₂e in soil.

Scope 3 & input savings: supports lower fertiliser use and upstream emissions while improving farm productivity.

Compliance & revenue potential: verified credits (e.g., Puro.earth, Carbonfuture) can help meet targets and create new income streams.
