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 Varaha Corn Seed Facility 1 : Pooling ID 301704

Varaha is a tech-enabled, end-to-end project developer and monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) company committed to limiting global warming and enhancing climate resilience in smallholder economies worldwide.

We assist smallholder land owners in India to mitigate and adapt to climate change through the development and scaling of Natural Climate Solutions (NCS), including regenerative agriculture, ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation), and CDR (Carbon Dioxide Removal) solutions like Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) and biochar.

We employ state-of-the-art pyro gasification technology to convert corn shanks, a food processing by-product, into high-quality biochar and syngas. Biochar, a stable form of carbon that effectively sequesters it for over 1,000 years, is pulverized, mixed with bio manure, and provided to nearby farmers at no cost to be used as a soil amendment and to improve soil health.

By converting waste biomass into biochar, our project offers a sustainable solution for carbon sequestration while reducing emissions from traditional disposal methods like decomposition

The project produces high-quality Biochar which has high carbon content (~75%) and is given to farmers for free thus helping them improve their soil quality.

Apart from sequestering CO2, this project leads to the avoidance of tonnes of CO2 emissions per year which would have inevitably occurred due to the mistreatment of waste biomass and usage of fossil fuel for drying the incoming corn cob,
