Analysis

R 3 Biochar is a Namibian artisan biochar project under Carbon Standards International's Global Artisan C-Sink methodology, currently at validated status with no credits yet issued. Additionality was confirmed by CERES-CERT AG via a combined test, but the verification report flagged a Major finding on shared kilns, storage is not independently verified, and a significant permanence contradiction (100 vs 1,000 years) exists between the verification report and the PDD. The project shows moderate documentation quality with 14 material findings (all resolved) and 8 inter-document contradictions, indicating an early-stage project with meaningful data gaps.
