About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

West Fraser produces biochar as a byproduct of its OSB manufacturing process at the Joanna, South Carolina site and generates certified carbon removal credits from distributing it as a soil additive, achieving permanent carbon storage. Evidence: "Our Joanna, South Carolina, biochar project has generated US$2.5 million worth of credits as of December 2025... Third-party certification ensures that the carbon stored in our biochar is real, measurable and permanent" — https://www.westfraser.com/newsroom/west-fraser-stories-highlights/carbon-new-opportunity-west-fraser

Statuses, countries and reductions are as the public source states them, and may be out of date.
