Nepal · Puro Standard 2025 · CORC200+

Nepal's first integrated biochar verification system

From kiln to soil — a complete digital MRV platform tracking every kilogram of biochar through charging, application, and verified carbon removal.

Your operations command centre

Register facilities, submit lab results, run the Puro 2025 tCO₂e calculation engine, dispatch biochar with QR codes, and track your entire supply chain — all from one web interface.

Full Puro 2025 §5–8 engine
Every term in the equation shown with units and explanation. H:C gate, permanence bands, uncertainty deduction.
📦
QR dispatch and tree view
Every batch generates a unique QR. Splits create child QRs. See the full chain from kiln to farmer in one view.
📊
Agronomic knowledge base
Every application and harvest outcome feeds a growing database of what biochar does in Nepal's soils.
Field verification app

Built for Chitwan, not Silicon Valley

Installed on any Android phone. Works completely offline in remote areas — data saves to the device and syncs when connected. Farmers log charging processes, applications, and outcomes without any training.

📱
Biochar ledger — not a form
A visual breakdown of where every kg is: charging, applied, in storage. Like a bank account for biochar.
⚗️
Charging process logging
Vermicompost, cattle feed, urine pit, trout pond — each method has dedicated measurement fields and photo evidence.
? help on every field
Every input has an explanation of why it matters. No training required — farmers understand what they're recording.

QR supply chain tree

Every kilogram traced, not estimated

Every batch dispatched from the hub gets a unique QR code. When biochar is split between farmers, child QR codes are created. Every node in the tree traces back to the kiln — batch reference, feedstock, lab result, and calculation.

📍
GPS-verified at every handoff
Receipt, charging start, soil application — each step has GPS coordinates and photo evidence attached.
✂️
Unlimited split depth
A village coordinator can receive 200kg and split it to 20 farmers — each gets their own QR and their own evidence trail.
How it works

Six steps from kiln to CORC

Every step is recorded, GPS-verified, and photo-evidenced. The carbon credit follows the biochar.

01
🔥
Hub produces biochar
Kiln operators log feedstock, temperature, and output mass with GPS and photos.

Lab analysis
C%, H%, and H:C molar ratio. Must be <0.70 to pass the Puro permanence gate.

Outcome tracking
Post-harvest yield, soil pH change, farmer satisfaction. Builds Nepal's agronomic database.

Why Nepal

The right biomass, the right communities, the right moment

Nepal sits at an extraordinary intersection — massive underutilised biomass, community forest networks with existing governance, and smallholder farmers who will directly benefit from improved soils.

Bharosa Carbon is not extracting value from Nepal. It is building infrastructure that makes Nepal's farmers, cooperatives, and community forests the primary beneficiaries of the global carbon market.

40M+
tonnes of pine needles carpet Nepal's forests every year — a fire hazard today, biochar feedstock tomorrow
2.5M
smallholder farming households in Nepal's Terai and hill districts stand to benefit from biochar soil amendments
22,000
community forests already organised under Nepal's community forestry programme — ready distribution networks
First
integrated biochar MRV system in Nepal. The gap was not feedstock — it was infrastructure.
