Biochar Production & Application dMRV
Track biochar from feedstock sourcing through pyrolysis batches to field application, with the unbroken chain of custody that carbon-removal buyers demand.
- 100+ years of durable carbon storage
- 3 custody stages linked per tonne
- 1 immutable audit trail per batch
The problems with paper-based Biochar MRV
Manual, paper-based monitoring is error-prone and hard to scale — every gap here resurfaces later as a verification delay.
Undocumented feedstock
Biomass arrives with no record of its source, so additionality and sustainability claims can't be substantiated.
Notebook batch logs
Pyrolysis batches are jotted in notebooks with process temperatures missing — the core of the removal calculation, unverifiable.
No application proof
Nothing links biochar produced to biochar applied, so 'made' and 'in the ground' get quietly assumed to be equal.
Broken chain of custody
Registries demand an unbroken feedstock-to-field custody chain that paper processes were never set up to keep.
Paper-based Biochar MRV drives up operational cost, delays verification, and pushes carbon-credit issuance further out of reach.
How TrueCarbon digitises Biochar monitoring
Chain of custody from feedstock to soil, with enterprise-grade accuracy and immutable audit trails.
Feedstock sourcing records
Biomass type, source location and quantity logged at intake, with supplier and transport evidence attached.
Pyrolysis batch logging
Batch-level production records — feedstock in, biochar out, process parameters — form the core of your removal calculation.
Application evidence
Field application events with GPS location, quantity applied and geotagged photos close the loop from kiln to soil.
End-to-end chain of custody
Every tonne is traceable from source to soil through linked records and an immutable audit trail.
Everything needed for digital MRV
- Multi-tenant workspaces
- Role-based access
- Offline-first mobile app

Biochar dMRV — FAQs
Answers to the questions teams ask most about Biochar dMRV and TrueCarbon.
Does TrueCarbon support Puro.earth biochar methodology requirements?
TrueCarbon's configurable schema captures the production, feedstock and application data points required by Puro.earth and VM0044, and exports them in verifier-ready formats.
Can we track multiple production sites in one programme?
Yes. Multi-site programmes are native — each kiln or production unit is registered separately with its own batch history.
