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 Clean Maine Carbon

The Greenville Facility is a commercial scale biochar production facility located in Greenville, Maine. The facility uses hard wood waste residues to produce high quality biochar and remove carbon from the atmosphere. The biochar is primarily used in agriculture and land remediation to ensure long term storage of the carbon for hundreds to thousands of years.

Carbon credit revenues are required in order to maintain operations and scale up carbon removal at the Greenville Facility, which has ample access to sustainably sourced waste wood and has capacity to host to many more pyrolizers on the same site.

Revitalizing rural communities by providing stable green jobs.
