For as long as fire and plant life have coexisted, biochar has played a role in the fertility of topsoil, having been used by Amazon farmers over 2,000 years ago to improve soil health and plant growth. That's because it’s effective in retaining water and nutrients in the root zone where it's later made available to plants, increasing soil tilth and supporting microbial communities.

Carboneers focuses on decentralized biochar project development in which the farmers benefit from crop yield increase as well as financial benefits that are derived from the sales of carbon credits. Carboneers, together with its local partners, provides farmers with the right tools, training, technology, and certification to create biochar in a sustainable manner. Local supervisors and managers are implemented in the system. They are provided with a mobile application in which all necessary information is uploaded which is needed for traceability and transparency. Biochar is produced according to the Global Artisan C-Sink Guidelines, and audited by third-party auditors. Biochar carbon credits are registered within the C-Sink Registry of Carbon Standards International. Where centralized and large-scale biochar production focuses mostly on the product and the climate action perspective, it is in Carboneers' decentralized biochar projects with smallholder farmers important that multiple Sustainable Development Goals are complied with.

Biochar helps fight droughts that are prone to this area due to land overuse and climate change. Because of its porosity, biochar drastically increases soils’ water holding capacity. This improves the productivity of the land and simultaneously proffers additional benefits to soil health (reducing nitrogen leaching and minimizing erosion). In addition to numerous environmental benefits, extra revenue from carbon credit sales boosts the local community's resilience and protects against poverty.

The main purpose of this project is to generate a clean form of electricity through renewable wind energy. It involves the installation of a 250 MW wind power project in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, through a special purpose vehicle (SPV). 

Over the ten years of its first crediting period, the project will replace anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) estimated to be approximately 7,07,799 tCO₂e per year, thereon displacing 755,550 MWh/year of electricity from the generation-mix of power plants connected to the Indian grid, which is mainly dominated by thermal/fossil fuel-based power plants.

The Tamil Nadu project fulfills the Ministry of Environment and Forests’ four indicators of sustainable development by improving: 1) social well-being through job creation and infrastructural developments, 2) economic well-being through clean energy investment, 3) technological well-being by the promotion of wind-based power generation in the region, and 4) environmental well-being by the reduction of fossil-fuel dependence and the avoidance of GHG emissions. The project boasts documented contributions to Sustainable Development Goals 7, 8, and 13. Wind energy is considered to be a high-permanence and low-leakage solution.

This project generates clean electricity by utilizing renewable hydropower, then exports the generated net electricity to the regional grid for sale. Doing so results in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) into the atmosphere, which would have otherwise occurred due to the production of electricity from other carbon-intensive, predominantly coal-based power sources.

The project converts the potential energy of water flows into mechanical energy through a 12 MW run-of-river Small Hydroelectric Project (SHP) being developed in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Following the project's auxiliary consumption, the generated electricity will be exported to the grid for sale, via the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board (HPSEB).

This project's goal is to protect and restore 149,800 hectares of peatland ecosystems, offering local people sustainable sources of income while tackling global climate change. The project area stores vast amounts of CO₂ and plays a vital role in stabilizing water flows, preventing devastating peat fires, enriching soil nutrients, and providing clean water. Rich in biodiversity, it is home to large populations of many high conservation-value species—including some of the world’s most endangered, such as the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and Proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)—and is surrounded by villages for which it supports traditional livelihoods, including farming, fishing, and non-timber forest-product harvesting.

The project area is located entirely within state-designated production forest which, without the project, would be converted to fast-growing industrial pulpwood plantations. The project prevents this, having obtained full legal control of the production forest area through an Ecosystem Restoration Concession license, blocking the applications of plantation companies.

This project has completed the additional Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) standards. The forest habitat supports 2 critically endangered, 11 endangered and 31 vulnerable species. Preliminary estimates indicate an estimated population of nearly 4,000 orangutans and 10,000 Bornean gibbons, as well as over 500 Proboscis monkeys. These populations represent over 5% of the remaining global populations of these species. Overall, the project area’s biodiversity includes 157 birds, 67 mammals, 41 reptiles, 8 amphibians, 111 fish, and 314 floral species.
