Appendix: In-Stand Surface Application of Biochar in Forestlands Methodology

Developer: Kulshan Carbon Trust

Sectoral Scope: Waste Handling and Disposal

Abstract:

This methodology serves as an appendix to the approved Verra Methodology for Biochar Utilization in Soil and Non-Soil Applications. Specifically, this appendix outlines a well-supported exception to the limitations of Section 4 - Applicability Conditions: Eligible biochar end-use criteria, to allow for in-stand surface level application of biochar as a unique soil amendment. We propose a project-design, from waste biomass sourcing through production and application, that justifies this change specifically for forest application.
