The project will increase carbon sequestration by working the produced biochar into different matrixes and in this way create a long-term carbon storage with a persistence of up to 1000 years as according to the Global Artisan C-Sink Standard. Without the project, no C-sink would be created since Prosopis Juliflora does not constitute a long-term carbon reservoir. In the initial 5 years of the project we expect carbon sequestration of approximately 100,000 CO2eq in total or 20,000 CO2eq / year.

Biochar faces low risk of reversal when applied in soil due to fire, flooding, or extreme drought. However, due to its highly stable carbon structure, high-quality biochar is considered to have a very low risk of reversal when used for carbon sequestration, with the potential to store carbon for centuries.
