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 Restoration Fuels

Restoration Fuels is a commercial scale thermal treatment facility in John Day, Oregon. The facility uses small-diameter thinnings and low-value residual wood from restoration treatments on National Forests to produce advanced carbon removals with biochar.

The biochar produced at Restoration Fuels is used in agricultural, nursery and other applications, including in ecological restoration projects such as abandoned mineland restoration. In these projects, the biochar increases the organic matter in the restored soils enhancing the water holding capacity, reducing erosion and encouraging revegetation.

The carbon credit revenues enable Restoration Fuels to integrate its procurement activities to support increased forest restoration work and hazardous fuels reduction.

By providing a market to support forest restoration we can make forests more resilience to climate change and better able to store the carbon they have.

Durable carbon sequestration products help restore ecosystems and the activity the facility and these projects generate help rebuild and strengthen rural economies.
