Analysis

Bioenergie Grauel is a German biochar C-Sink project under Carbon Standards International with a VVB-verified combined additionality test and a 100-year permanence claim. However, the project carries significant data-reliability concerns: the ex-ante lifetime estimate differs by three orders of magnitude between two PDD versions (700 vs 935,000 tCO₂e), the carbon-content-testing status is contradicted within the same verification report, and 15 material findings (all closed or minor) reveal operational and data-quality gaps. The project is in Validated status with a single monitoring period verified, and several key transparency fields (FNRB, usage rates, CCP/CORSIA status) remain unreported.
