Plants naturally capture the carbon present in the atmosphere during the process of photosynthesis. At the end of their life, plants slowly decompose, and the captured carbon is returned to the atmosphere in the natural carbon cycle, called biogenic carbon. The carbonization process stabilizes the carbon and prevents it from decomposing and returning to the atmosphere. Buried in the soil, the carbon contained in biochar will remain stored for several hundred years with very little degradation. Thus, one ton of biochar can sequester between 2.5 and 3.2 tons of CO2 equivalent. The development of the voluntary carbon market now allows for the monetization of carbon sequestration credits generated by the production of biochar. Companies committed to net-zero emissions can purchase these credits to offset their own emissions and more quickly achieve their corporate goals.
