Leading Experts in Biochar Project Development & Certification
Biochar is a carbon-rich material created by heating organic biomass (like agricultural waste) in low-oxygen conditions through pyrolysis. It is used to enhance soil health, improving water retention, nutrient availability, and microbial activity. Biochar also plays a vital role in combating climate change by sequestering carbon, locking it away in a stable form for centuries. In addition to agricultural benefits, biochar contributes to urban sustainability, waste management, and carbon markets, where it can be certified for carbon credits, making it a versatile tool in the fight against climate change.

Biochar FAQ
You might have questions about biochar and how it can be utilised for your business. Here we have addressed a few of the typical questions we get asked:
What is biochar?
Biochar is a charcoal-like substance made by burning organic material in a low-oxygen environment. It’s used to improve soil health, increase crop yields, and sequester carbon long-term.
What is the Puro.Earth certification, and why is it important for biochar projects?
Puro.Earth is a leading carbon removal marketplace that certifies biochar projects. This certification ensures the biochar meets high standards for carbon sequestration and environmental benefits, increasing its credibility and marketability.
What types of biochar projects can Eight Versa help with?
Eight Versa can assist with various biochar projects, including agricultural applications, industrial uses, and carbon removal initiatives. We offer expertise in project design, implementation, and the certification process.
How does Eight Versa conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for biochar?
Eight Versa performs comprehensive LCAs (in line with the Puro.Earth methodology) to evaluate the environmental impact of biochar production and use. This includes analysing raw material sourcing, production processes, transportation, and end-use applications to determine the overall carbon footprint.
What are the benefits of using biochar in agriculture and industry?
In agriculture, biochar improves soil fertility, water retention, and crop yields. In industry, it can be used for wastewater treatment, odour control, and as a substitute for carbon black in manufacturing processes.
Can biochar help me achieve my sustainability and carbon removal goals?
Yes, biochar can be an effective tool for carbon removal and improving sustainability. It sequesters carbon for hundreds to thousands of years and offers multiple additional environmental benefits in various applications.
What is Eight Versa’s approach to sustainability?
Eight Versa focuses on developing sustainable biochar solutions that maximise carbon sequestration and environmental benefits. We prioritise responsible sourcing, efficient production, and innovative applications to create projects with long-lasting positive impacts.
