While half the carbon market is still arguing about whether offsets are real or not, we’re quietly loading trucks with black gold and shipping it around in UK National Highways projects. Not a pilot. Not a press release. Real purchase orders, real money, real audited tonnes going into real roads.
The UK government literally wrote the rulebook on this in PPN 06/21:
“Your carbon footprint should adhere to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol… ISO 14064-3 and ISAE 3410 are widely-used standards for the verification of GHG emissions reports.” Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ppn-006-taking-account-of-carbon-reduction-plans-in-the-procurement-of-major-government-contracts/ppn-006-technical-standard-for-completion-of-carbon-reduction-plans-html (Point 18)
And Kier — one of the biggest contractors actually building those highways — already publishes their entire Scope 1, 2 & 3 inventory under ISO 14064 every year:
“This report… has been prepared in line with the requirements outlined in ISO 14064:2018.” Source: https://www.kier.co.uk/media/t5ojapyi/iso-14064-fy24-ghg-report.pdf (page 2)
Government purchase orders don’t lie. They already demanded ISO-14064 audited biochar, we already delivered it, and now every new tonne we quench out of our 400 L fire-curtain kilns is getting minted as SCCs on EcoTradeZone.
America is watching the same playbook — DOE, EPA and WRI are all naming ISO 14064 as the verification backbone for the gigatonne-scale CDR they need by 2030. When the US flips the switch, we’ll already have the kilns running, the auditors on speed-dial, and the flywheel spinning.
Carbon Airdrop Vault opens soon. Get ready.
