FLS Group AG and Cula have formed a partnership to improve monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) for biochar carbon removals by implementing independent sampling protocols. The initiative addresses a conflict of interest where project developers control the selection of biochar samples for testing.

The new protocol will debut at Project Alfheim in Paraguay, requiring independent third-party collection of samples at defined intervals with unannounced site visits. This will ensure a robust audit trail and improve the credibility of biochar projects. FLS plans to adopt these measures across future projects.
