Ecometrica developed a draft methodology for quantifying the greenhouse gas reductions from biochar projects. The methodology specifically relates to small-scale projects which sequester carbon through pyrolysis of biomass that would otherwise have been left to decay or been burned in an uncontrolled manner. The draft methodology was submitted to the Voluntary Carbon Standard for stakeholder consultation.
