Certification journey

We track the progress of a carbon removal project through our certification framework. This roadmap moves from a preliminary assessment of eligibility toward full certification under the Puro Standard.

The facility has successfully completed the preliminary assessment conducted by the Puro team, meeting the minimum criteria for listing as a future supplier on Puro.earth.

The facility has passed the third-party facility audit, verifying compliance with the methodology, as well as output audit, verifying the net volume of removed carbon. The facility has been issued CORCs and continues its removal operations, as well as monitoring and reporting to Puro.earth.

Development status

We monitor a facility’s maturity as it moves toward industrial-scale operations. This status identifies whether a project is in development, under construction, or actively removing carbon from the atmosphere.

The feasibility study is ongoing. The Supplier is still collecting data to prove the concept.

The front-end engineering and design are ready and methodology compliant. There is a clear plan to monitor and measure. The LCA is up to the needed quality level or subject to small improvements. The technology has been used before. There are commercial agreements with the relevant business partners of the facility.

The facility is fully funded and is being implemented. Relevant infrastructure is being built.

The facility is operating as a carbon removal facility.

More about SEEK Biochar in Shanghai

The production facility is owned and operated by SEEK Bio-Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as SEEK. At this facility located in Jinshan District, Shanghai, urban green waste and rice straws are converted into biochar through a pyrolysis process. The resulting biochar is subsequently blended with compost and other materials for soil application, enabling long-term carbon removal for centuries.

Established in 2011 and positioned as a “circular economy service provider,” SEEK focuses on developing industrial technologies that enable the low-carbon, circular conversion of organic waste into biochar-based fertilizers.

Climate Bridge has supported SEEK across the full project development cycle. Established in 2006, Climate Bridge is a leading carbon finance company in Asia, specializing in the development and trading of carbon credits and renewable energy certificates. The company also provides comprehensive sustainability consulting services, supporting organizations in advancing their climate goals.

In addition to carbon removal and climate change mitigation, the project delivers a range of co-benefits:
- The project reduces the volume of green waste and agricultural residues that would otherwise be landfilled or incinerated, lowering local pollution and fire risks.
- The application of biochar enhances soil water retention and reduces nutrient leaching, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices.
- The project creates stable employment for local residents, supporting the local economy and advancing rural revitalization.
