About
Oregon Biochar Solutions (OBS) is a biochar producer that was the first CDR project in the Americas to transact credits in 2021 and the first industrial-scale project in America certified under the Puro.earth standard. The company produces biochar at industrial volume, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 10 months per year, to meet demand from large consumers. In March 2024, OBS partnered with Oka, The Carbon Insurance Company, to bring world-first invalidation-insured biochar credits to the voluntary carbon market.
