DSR vs AWD: choosing the right rice practice for a carbon programme

One acts at sowing, the other all season. What each asks of the farmer, what the numbers really compare, and what a verifier needs to see.

Biochar permanence: why a century of storage changes the credit

Carbon locked in soil for 100 years and beyond. What durable carbon removal changes for the credit, the buyer and the record behind it.

Rice Carbon

The Gold Standard DREAM methodology, and what it changes for digital rice

Satellite-primary evidence, every plot, and practices that stack in one project. What the Gold Standard methodology asks a rice project to prove.

Blue Carbon

Mangrove blue carbon credits: the densest carbon on the coast

Carbon at 3–5× the density of typical forest, in soils that hold it for a thousand years. How extent, stocks and restoration are measured.

Agroforestry carbon credits: what farmers earn, and how it is verified

5–15 t CO₂e per hectare a year, counted tree by tree. ARR volume, additionality, leakage and the buffer pool — and the per-tree census a verifier asks for.
