This document provides an assessment of the proposed draft technical specifications for the certification of permanent carbon removals through biochar, dated 10 November 2024. In its current form, the methodology may lead to substantial overestimation of removals. In some instances, no removals may occur at all. The methodology should be improved in many aspects.
