From Promises to Proof: Making Bio-Based Carbon Removals Credible

Bio-based negative emission technologies (NETs), such as bioenergy with carbon capture, biochar, or carbon storage in durable products, can make a significant contribution to climate strategy. However, this requires that their actual effect remains measurable and verifiable. It is precisely here that monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems come into play.
