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 Jiaxing Tongao Biochar Plant
Jiaxing Tongao Biochar Project collects agricultural waste such as crop straws and garden wastes. from communities and handles them at a centralized spot. Then these biomass are used to produce biochar by pyrolysis equipment including pyrolysis furnace, burning tower, drying furnace etc. This project collects about 50 ton agricultural waste and produce about 10 ton biochar daily. Those biochar will be sold as soil additive to be used directly in soil or mixed with other fertilizer then used in soil, which can store the carbon for hundreds of years.
Besides the benefit of carbon storage, the project also have many co-benifits such improving the soil quality, reducing air pollution, improving crop yields, Creating green job opportunities, etc.
The project owner Jiaxing Tongao Technology is a company which committed to the research, development, production, and application of high-quality biochar, biochar based organic fertilizers, soil amendments, and biofuels. Under the technical guidance of soil and biochar experts, and in collaboration with Scientific research institutions such as the Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Nanjing Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jiaxing Tongao has developed a complete solution for biomass waste treatment and soil remediation.
Jiaxing Tongao has established long-term cooperative relationships with multiple local governments, where Jiaxing Tongao is responsible for the collection and treatment of local biomass, and has currently ensured over 100 thousands tons of biomass. Once obtaining the carbon credit benefits from biochar, Jiaxing Tongao will gradually expand the production scale of biochar to tens of thousands of tons per year.
The developer of this project, Climate Future, is a carbon-asset development company specializing in high-quality carbon credits. The team members of Climate Future have over 18 years of experience in carbon asset development. The projects developed by Team member of Climate Future cover countries such as China, South Korea, Kenya, Nigeria, Nepal, and Indonesia, and include biochar, forestry, Improved cookstoves, water purifiers, industrial energy saving, coal mine gas, and other types of projects.
1. Soil Improvement - Physical Structure: Enhances soil porosity, aeration, and water retention, reducing compaction. - Chemical Properties: Neutralizes acidic soils and reduces salinity stress by adsorbing excess salts. - Nutrient Retention: High adsorption capacity slows nutrient release, improving nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium efficiency.
2. Biological Activity Enhancement - Microbial Habitat: Supports beneficial microorganisms (e.g., mycorrhizal fungi) for organic matter decomposition. - Root Development: Promotes healthier root growth due to improved soil conditions.
3. Agricultural Benefits - Yield & Quality: Stabilizes nutrient supply, boosting crop productivity and quality. - Stress Resistance: Strengthens drought and salinity tolerance via improved soil buffering.
4. Environmental Sustainability - Carbon Sequestration: Biochar’s stability aids long-term carbon storage, reducing GHG emissions. - Pollution Mitigation: Lowers chemical fertilizer dependency and adsorbs heavy metals/organic pollutants.
5. Reduce air pollution - The centralized treatment of straw can avoid farmers burning straw in the open air, thereby reducing air pollution
6. Create job opportunity - The project will provide employment opportunities to the local population, promote the development of local sustainable economy.
