MEMBER PODCAST – Biochar and the future of carbon credits

An episode from the Carbogenics Biochar and AD podcast series

Carbon credits are often discussed in abstract terms – but what happens when you ground them in real assets, real waste streams, and real-world infrastructure?

Led by Carbogenics very own Leah Herrgen, in Episode 4 of the Carbogenics podcast, we dive into the often overlooked role that biochar and waste-derived carbon removal play in building a credible, scalable carbon removal economy.

The podcast features a few carbon credit celebrities:

• Jason E. Dodier, Co-Founder of Grain Ecosystem, on why waste-to-value infrastructure is essential for carbon markets that actually scale
• Sebastian Manhart, Carbonfuture, on trust, MRV, and why robust data is the backbone of market credibility
• Benno Fuchs, COO of Puro.earth, on certification, additionality, and why biochar can act as a “gateway” into carbon removal markets

Together, they unpack the real challenges – and real opportunities – of integrating complex waste streams into carbon credit systems, and why this “hidden” sector is essential if we’re serious about meeting ambitious climate goals.

If you work in carbon removal, biochar, climate finance, or just want to understand what separates credible carbon credits from the noise, this episode is well worth a listen.
