Strengthening Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) Protocols

The Clean Air Task Force, collaborating with eight experts, identifies six priorities to strengthen BiCRS protocols: adopting a net-removal definition of carbon removal, prescribing conservative estimates for supply chain emissions when data is missing, disclosing which emissions are deducted, including all major emission sources for traceable supply chains, standardizing the treatment of key features across protocols, and establishing regular update schedules to reflect scientific and technological advances.

• The report identifies six priorities to improve biomass CDR protocols and the carbon market system: adopting a definition of carbon removal based on net removal from the atmosphere, using conservative estimates for supply chain emissions when project-specific data is unavailable, disclosing which emissions sources are deducted from total carbon stored, including all major emission sources for traceable supply chains, standardizing the treatment of key features across protocols to ensure credit equivalence, and updating protocols regularly to incorporate scientific and technological advances.
