Puro.earth developed the first carbon sequestration methodologies for biochar, carbonated construction materials, enhanced rock weathering, woody biomass burial and geologically stored carbon that can be captured through various means, including Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Bio-energy with Carbon Capture & Storage (BECCS). When evaluating carbon sequestration projects, we consider how carbon is captured, stabilized and stored in a long-term carbon sink.

Our methodologies are science-based and use a lifecycle analysis (LCA) for reporting emissions and stored carbon, or CO₂-equivalents. Removed carbon is the sequestered carbon minus the emission that is calculated as part of the product or processes’ LCA. In other words, CORCs only consider net-negate emissions from Negative Emissions Technologies (NET). The verification of sequestered carbon is done annually by an independent auditor, using laboratory analyses and measurements to ensure that net negativity claims comply with the Puro Standard’ science-based methodologies.
