Carbon credits

When used in soil, biochar creates a carbon pool out of biomass that would ordinarily decompose or be processed in a way that doesn’t preserve carbon. One ton of carbon is equal to 3.67 tons of CO2. Durability is measured by the relative hydrogen and carbon content—biochar that is higher in carbon and lower in hydrogen is considered more permanent. GCS biochar has remarkably high (~95%) and stable carbon content and a very low hydrogen carbon ratio of 0.0xx ultimately providing a more durable carbon sink compared to lower carbon alternatives. GCS biochar high carbon biochar can persist in soil for centuries if not thousands of years.
