Overview

Carbon Impact

The Exomad Green Riberalta Biochar Facility uses pyrolysis to convert forestry residues - typically burned or left to decompose- into biochar, a stable carbon-rich material. Over its operational lifetime, the facility is expected to sequester 75,000 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions annually by producing 30,000 tons of biochar per year. Each ton of biochar removes approximately 2.5 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere, making it a powerful tool for climate mitigation.

By preventing the open burning of forestry residues, the project avoids the release of methane and CO2, directly contributing to emissions reduction. The biochar produced also enhances soil health, improving water retention, fertility, and crop yields for local farmers. This reduces the need for slash-and-burn agriculture, further protecting forests and biodiversity.

In addition to its environmental benefits, the facility supports the local economy by creating jobs and providing a sustainable solution for waste management in Bolivia’s forestry sector. The project exemplifies a circular economy approach, delivering climate, social, and economic benefits while advancing global net-zero goals.

Impact on local communities

The Exomad Green Riberalta Biochar Facility brings tangible benefits to nearby communities by transforming forestry residues - often burned or left to decompose - into a stable, valuable resource. By converting waste biomass into biochar through pyrolysis, the project eliminates harmful emissions, such as methane and CO2, that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. This process creates a cleaner, safer environment for residents living near forestry operations, reducing air pollution and improving local air quality.

In addition to environmental improvements, the facility lowers the risk of uncontrolled fires, which can occur when biomass is burned openly. Beyond these benefits, the project creates local jobs in biochar production, logistics, and agricultural support, fostering economic growth in the region. The initiative also engaged local farmers and communities through consultations and training, ensuring their concerns were addressed and building trust in the project’s long-term social and environmental benefits.

What is Biochar?

When forestry residues, agricultural waste, or other organic materials are burned or left to decompose, they release carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) - a potent greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere. Without intervention, these emissions contribute to air pollution and climate change.

Biochar projects use a process called pyrolysis, which heats organic waste in the absence of oxygen to convert it into biochar, a stable carbon-rich material. Instead of releasing greenhouse gases, the carbon in the biomass is locked into the biochar, preventing it from escaping into the atmosphere. This process starts with collecting and drying the biomass, then heating it in a controlled environment to produce biochar while capturing any emissions.

The resulting biochar can be used to improve soil health, enhancing water retention, fertility, and crop yields. When applied to soil, it acts as a long-term carbon sink, storing carbon for centuries. The process also reduces the risk of uncontrolled fires and air pollution from open burning. Continuous monitoring ensures the system operates efficiently, and the verified carbon removals can be sold as carbon credits. This approach not only cuts pollution and waste but also supports sustainable agriculture, improves local air quality, and creates economic opportunities for communities.

Certification Standard


This project is verified by Verified Carbon Standard (Verra). VCS was established in 2007 and is a full-fledged carbon offset program developed and run by the non-profit Verra. It focuses on GHG reduction attributes only and does not require projects to have additional environmental or social benefits. The VCS is broadly supported by the carbon offset industry (project developers, large offset buyers, verifiers, and projects consultants) and is active globally.
