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 NetZero-002-Lajinha

NetZero Lajinha is NetZero's second biochar factory and first in Brazil. It is also Latin America's first project dedicated to industrial biochar production.

We use coffee husks (a residue from coffee processing) from nearby farms as a feedstock. Our local and circular model allows farmers to sustainably dispose of their coffee residues and get biochar in return.

NetZero's mission is to bring biochar at scale in the tropics – for climate and people, now.

NetZero is a two-time winner of Musk Foundation's XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition, a recipient of the ‘Efficient Solution’ label from Solar Impulse Foundation, and a Green Tech prize winner of the Tech for Good Awards.

NetZero Lajinha works with over 400 local coffee farmers, who are both our biomass suppliers and our biochar clients. 80% of them are smallholders with less than 20 hectares of cultivated land.

The higher crop yields from biochar application allow to significantly increase farmers' income. The project also creates numerous direct and indirect jobs in a rural area. The vast majority of NetZero Lajinha's staff was hired and trained locally, with strong future career opportunities within the company.
