Fasera Biochar Plant 1

Audit Analysis
Fasera Biochar Plant 1 is a Puro-registered biochar project in Australia with VVB-confirmed additionality, but the December 2025 verification report identified 12 material findings spanning measurement errors, LCA deficiencies, and calibration gaps, alongside 8 required corrective actions. Key permanence and leakage parameters are absent from the available record, and ERR figures show contradictions between the 2024 and 2025 verification reports. The project's data quality and MRV robustness are currently below the threshold for high-confidence carbon claims.
Red Flags
- 12 material findings in the December 2025 verification report, including incorrect H/Corg ratios, unaccounted biochar stock, uncalibrated diesel meter, and LCA verification failures
- No buffer pool or permanence mechanism documented for a biochar project where carbon storage is the core claim
- Leakage treatment (deduction or justification) not stated in any available document
- Contradictions in ERR figures: the August 2024 report shows claimed 264 / verified 268, while the December 2025 report shows claimed 203.93 / verified 142.02
- 8 corrective actions required, indicating systemic MRV and calculation gaps that undermine confidence in the verified figure
