Biochar MRV software
Trace your biochar, from feedstock to application.
See where it came from, what happened during production, and where it went.

The trace
Every step leaves a record.
One field’s biochar, from the weighbridge to the soil. Each step is its own record, with the quantity and the evidence behind it.
Production runPR-001
One reactor, one run, one mass balance.
- Feedstock drawn from FD-001
- Reactor temperatures over the run
- Biochar out, 270 kg dry
Mix binTwo runs
Two runs share a bin, and every draw keeps their shares.
- PR-001 and PR-002, 270 kg dry each
- Each draw split pro rata
- Moisture when it leaves
Biochar productBP-001
Bagged, and traceable to both runs.
- Drawn from the mix bin
- Bag count and wet mass
- Formulation, if blended
DeliveryDL-001
Half the product travels to one farm.
- Truck weights, loaded and empty
- Route distance, counted both ways
- Delivery note
ApplicationCoffee field
Spread on a mapped field. The trace ends in the soil.
- Field boundary
- Spread date and 270 kg dry
- Photos from the field

Ask your records.
The plant records the work once. Producers, carbon managers and verifiers each get their answer from the same records.

What’s in this bin?
Bin A, now
410 kg dry
- Placed 10 Sep170 kg
- Placed 12 Sep240 kg
- Water in it72 kg
Last draw: 400 kg dry, oldest layer first
Each draw comes off the bin’s stock as dry biochar, so the bin always shows what is left, layer by layer, and the water in it.

Built with biochar producers.
We’re developing noma with Dark Earth Carbon in Mafinga, Tanzania, around the work of recording production and tracing biochar to its application.
The starting point is the work on the ground.

We’ll walk through the trace and the records behind it, using an example like your operation.
