Analysis

Chanzi Kenya Biochar is a design-stage project (under validation) with a PDD as its sole document. The combined additionality test and 1,000-year biochar permanence claim are reasonable in principle, but none have been independently verified yet. Key gaps include the absence of FPIC, a thin 0% leakage justification, and no stated FNRB or grievance mechanism.
