Carbon removal certification of biochar and char from mixed waste pyrolysis
Podcast 5.
Standard Gas Director and Co-Lead for Carbon, Richard Jackson, and Ueli Steiner, CEO of Carbon Standards International, discuss the development of a groundbreaking methodology for certifying carbon removal from carbon char generated by the pyrolysis of mixed waste. In the discussion, Ueli traces the history of Carbon Standards International, the development of the European Biochar Certificate and World Biochar Certificate, and the close collaboration with the Carbon research and strategy organisation, Ithaka Institute. Together, Richard and Ueli explore why the development of this new methodology for measuring the biogenic content of both the char and synthesis gas generated from pyrolyzed mixed waste is transformative in terms of carbon removal certification and global decarbonisation efforts.

David Hurren “From Waste to Net Zero”
In the second episode of our first podcast, Standard Gas Advisory Board member and gas expert, David Hurren, explores the challenges and opportunities in decarbonising waste management and recovering the energy and material resources in a range of waste streams, from household to biosolids. In the UK, for example, David points out that although 85% of the resources in waste going to landfill or incineration could be recovered or reused, “we’re stuck at about 44%.” It’s time to stop viewing waste as rubbish and to see it as a natural resource to create energy and other products.
