The inaugural Chinese biochar carbon credit project, developed by MioTech's carbon asset team with support from Nanjing Nian'da Environmental Technology and Prof. Zhou Jianbin of Nanjing Forestry University, has been successfully registered on Puro.earth. This marks China’s entry into high-quality international carbon markets.
The project strictly adheres to Puro’s biochar methodology and global carbon standards, ensuring credibility through dynamic multi-dimensional data tracking and verification. Independent auditor Earthood validated all project data, endorsing its rigor and expressing anticipation for more Chinese projects in global markets.
CDR & Biochar’s Climate Role
Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies, particularly durable solutions like biochar and direct air capture, are now deemed essential for net-zero pathways. Biochar – dubbed "black gold" – is produced by pyrolyzing agricultural waste under oxygen-limited conditions. Its stable aromatic structure locks away carbon for centuries, making it a key climate mitigation tool.
Beyond carbon sequestration, biochar’s large surface area, adsorption capacity, and alkaline properties enhance soil health. It improves drought resistance, reduces fertilizer use, boosts crop yields, and remediates polluted/acidic soils.
Participation in carbon markets provides biochar projects with environmental and economic incentives, accelerating sustainable agriculture and ecological civilization. This breakthrough highlights China’s growing contribution to global decarbonization efforts.
MioTech Targets 50,000 Tons of CDR Carbon Credits by 2027
Jack Hai, SVP of MioTech, announced plans to develop 50,000 tons of high-quality carbon credits by 2027, spanning biochar, geologically carbon storage, carbonated materials, and enhanced rock weathering. These initiatives are expected to unlock a carbon trading market exceeding $15 million and catalyze billions in green investments.
“Carbon credit is a critical climate governance tool, not financial casino” Jack emphasized. “Our goal is to ensure every carbon credit project drives tangible value for the green revolution through technological innovation.”
This expansion aligns with global demand for durable CDR projects, positioning China to scale science-based climate action while fostering sustainable industrial transformation.
