Value (in SEK) | Price | CO2e (equivalent) | Carbon (BioChar weight) |
1,000.- | 900.- | One ton | 0.25 t |
5,000.- | 4,500.- | Five tons | 1.25 t |
10,000.- | 9,000.- | Ten tons | 2.50 t |
Please note: prices reflect estimated actual cost of biochar production, not carbon market prices for carbon sequestration.
The certificates are based on “Voluntary Carbon Market” norms and include a pre-purchase for production of a BioChar “Reserve” which will be used for soil enrichment and count for carbon sequestration thru VCM; duly verified and geotagged. In a phase 2, the certificates will furthermore progressively become valid payment for CO2 negative products/produce developed/grown within the network using biochar enriched soil (coffee, tea, cacau, sugar and it’s derivatives, etc.). The certificates include a 10% “discount” or ROI at time of purchase. It’s important to state that this is a pre-payment towards future production of BioChar. There will of course also be a disclaimer explaining that there is also a risk factor involved.
For the buyer/investor, you get:
- Actual carbon sequestration upon production (once the project gets up and running, we will have a built up “reserve” of CO2 in Biochar)
- Future credit on purchases of carbon negative products
- Up-front ROI
- Feel-good factor for enriching soil, creating jobs, growing healthy food.
