Context

The project aims to assess the feasibility of applying biochar within Natural Protected Areas to enhance soil health and generate long-term carbon removals. It seeks to align biochar deployment with ecological conservation goals while enabling access to carbon finance in highly regulated, sensitive landscapes.

Our Expert Role

Provided detailed technical advisory to UNDP; led GHG quantification and removal modeling; evaluated pyrolysis technology options (on-site vs. centralized); assessed soil, ecological, and regulatory suitability for biochar application; translated carbon methodology requirements into implementation guidance.

Outcomes Delivered

Developed a feasibility roadmap for biochar in conservation zones; supported alignment with high-integrity carbon standards; enabled informed decision-making on biochar project design in ecologically sensitive contexts.
