Where does biochar from digestate fit, and why is it a separate stream?
sourced
Pyrolysing digestate solids to biochar is a separate, later-phase pathway producing a durable soil-carbon product and a distinct carbon-removal credit. It must never be combined with the plant's methane-avoidance accounting: removal and avoidance are different asset classes, priced roughly 10-20 times apart, and summing them misstates the climate claim.
