Carbon Offset Credits
Pyrocal supports reducing emissions as far as possible, and offsetting those that can’t be avoided through the purchase of carbon offset credits in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), which is expected to increase by a factor of 15 by 2030 and 100 by 2050. We also strongly support the need for science-based carbon removal technologies like biochar to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
What are Carbon Offset Credits
A carbon offset credit is a transferable financial instrument certified by governments or independent certification bodies to represent an emission reduction of one metric tonne of CO2, or an equivalent amount of other GHGs (CO2-equivalents). The purchaser of an offset credit can “retire” it to claim the underlying reduction towards their own GHG emission goals. Offset credits deliver a net climate benefit from one entity to another.
Biochar Carbon Offset Credits
Where a biochar project can demonstrate additionality - that is it would not have occurred without the carbon finance (offset credit revenue), the project may be eligible to receive carbon offset credits that can be sold in the VCM. Pyrocal recognises the importance of the carbon market to our clients’ investment and how fast it’s evolving. This is why it’s part of our service commitment and we’ve gained first-hand experience.
