PURO-TSB — Terrestrial Storage of Biomass
About this methodology
Biomass that absorbed carbon dioxide as it grew is placed in a purpose-built terrestrial storage environment that keeps it from decomposing.

How our current method reads projects of this type
Versions of the official text these rules cover: Edition 2023 v.1
What CarbonMeld reads
- shown
Durability of the storage: the methodology sets rules for it (TSB 2023, p. 4). CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents.CM-F-PURO-TSB-DURABILITY-MEASUREMENT
- shown
Sustainability of the feedstock: the methodology sets rules for it. CarbonMeld reads it in the project's documents.CM-F-PURO-TSB-FEEDSTOCK-SUSTAINABILITY
Set by the methodology or the programme, not assessed by our current method
- not assessed
Leakage: the methodology sets rules for it in some cases (TSB 2023 leakage, p. 24). Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-PURO-TSB-LEAKAGE
- not assessed
Permanence and reversals: the methodology sets rules for it (TSB 2023 definitions, p. 3). Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-PURO-TSB-PERMANENCE-REVERSAL
- not assessed
No legal requirement for the activity: the methodology sets rules for it. Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-PURO-TSB-REGULATORY-SURPLUS
- not assessed
Social safeguards and consent of communities (FPIC): any such rules come from the programme, not the methodology. Our current method does not assess it.CM-F-PURO-TSB-SAFEGUARDS-FPIC
Not applicable to this type — never a gap in our current method
The criterion does not apply to this methodology. Our current method never counts it as a gap.
