CrystalTrade has partnered with Carbon Plus to equip Malaysia’s first industrial biocharBiochar is a carbon-rich material created from biomass decomposition in low-oxygen conditions. It has important applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, agriculture, carbon sequestration, energy storage, and sustainable materials, promoting efficiency and reducing waste in various contexts while addressing climate change challenges. More facility, the Bukit Selar Carbon Station in Kelantan, with its digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) technology. This facility, operated by Carbon Plus, will produce 500 tonnes of biochar annually, using gasificationGasification is a high-temperature, thermochemical process that converts carbon-based materials into a gaseous fuel called syngas and solid by-products. It takes place in an oxygen-deficient environment at temperatures typically above 750°C. Unlike combustion, which fully burns material to produce heat and carbon dioxide (CO2​), gasification More technology supplied by Renewables Plus and biomassBiomass is a complex biological organic or non-organic solid product derived from living or recently living organism and available naturally. Various types of wastes such as animal manure, waste paper, sludge and many industrial wastes are also treated as biomass because like natural biomass these More sources like mature bamboo and Palm Kernel Shell (PKS).

The integration of CrystalTrade’s dMRV solution enables Carbon Plus to efficiently track and optimize its carbon removal process. This data-driven system allows Carbon Plus to generate CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) in accordance with Puro.earth’s methodology, ensuring accurate carbon credit accounting.

Carbon Plus is a leading innovator in the biochar sector, pioneering large-scale carbon sequestration projects in Malaysia. Their gasification process, reaching temperatures above 850˚C, produces highly stable biochar with long-term carbon storage capabilities, which strengthens the market appeal of their carbon credits.

The Bukit Selar facility is expected to remove 1,200 tonnes of CO2e annually, with plans for expansion in the future. By leveraging CrystalTrade’s dMRV technology, Carbon Plus will enhance transparency and improve the efficiency of its operations, positioning itself as a major player in Southeast Asia’s growing carbon removal market. This collaboration demonstrates the critical role of digital solutions in advancing sustainable, scalable carbon sequestration efforts.
