Mass balance gets you close on biochar carbon content. It is also out by 8–14% on about a third of the sites we have instrumented, and always in the same direction. What the lab assay showed when we ran both, and why we now insist on it.

From the field
Our first Kelantan install assumed mains power that stayed on and a technician within reach. Neither was true. Four months of redesign later, the system was better on every other site as well.
Market
Durable removal under $90 a tonne nearly always means somebody is swallowing a cost they never priced. Usually the developer. Sometimes the community hosting the site.
Policy
Most commentary treats the Carbon Removal Certification Framework as paperwork. Read it as a technical spec and it tells you precisely what to go and build.

Soil cores are the standard for verifying rock weathering. They are also sparse enough on the ground that two honest verifiers can come back 20% apart on the same field.
Market
We logged every question across 45 buyer diligence processes. There is a clear pattern, and it isn't the one most developers rehearse for.
