Biochar from sustainable biomass

This use case demonstrates the use of Carbon Central to track and manage the carbon removal from the production and storage of Biochar. This example aligns with the Puro Standard Biochar Methodology V2 2022 to create evidence C02 Removal Certificates (evidence CORCs). Through a seamless integration of manual reporting, calculations, and automated data collection from feedstock meters, Carbon Central streamlines the process of tracking and managing carbon removal efforts, ensuring accuracy and compliance with industry standards.

Biochar Project Setup

Project information such as the location, expected lifetime value and objective are entered as part of the project onboarding into Carbon Central. This information allows users to establish the parameters of their project as soon as they join Carbon Central.

Digital Twin

Leveraging Carbon Central's library of digital twin templates crafted by our environmental specialists, users can kickstart their baseline digital twin. These templates typically encompass all necessary device data sources, as well as manual reporting and documentation elements essential for generating evidence tokens according to the Standard and Methodology guidelines. Furthermore, within Carbon Central's Admin section, users have the flexibility to customise their digital twins to suit their specific project requirements, ensuring adaptability and precision in monitoring and reporting processes.

Batch Management

In this example, three manual upload blocks are evident: Biomass Sourcing Evidence, Biochar Production Evidence, and Transport and Application of Biochar Evidence. Each block encompasses the necessary data and documentation prescribed by the chosen methodology, facilitating comprehensive tracking and verification of carbon removal activities at every stage of the process.

Uploading Manual Documents and Evidence

When a user selects 'Upload' on one of these blocks, they are presented with the option to upload evidence and input the necessary data required for token minting. This streamlined process ensures that users can easily provide the documentation and information needed to generate tokens accurately and efficiently.

Configuring Automated Devices (admin)

A crucial component of many methodologies involves recording and overseeing feedstock measurements obtained from meters. Through Carbon Central, project admins have the capability to seamlessly integrate their meters and utilise a mapping mechanism to align key fields from meter data with the expected fields for carbon credit calculation. Additionally, all digital twin templates come equipped with a simulated meter, furnishing users with sample data for immediate utilisation. Subsequently, users can transition to their production meters as per their convenience and suitability.
