Carbon dioxide removal

Build a removal portfolio around durability, evidence and delivery.

We develop and commercialise biochar, soil carbon and agroforestry removals, with direct access to the underlying projects and their monitoring systems.

Removal quality

A tonne removed is defined by more than the quantity.

Storage duration, reversal risk, measurement uncertainty, leakage, feedstock and land-use eligibility, and delivery stage all affect how a removal fits a corporate portfolio.

Quantification

How the gross removal is measured or modelled, and which deductions are applied.

Durability

Where carbon is stored, for how long, and how reversal risk is managed.

Additionality

Why carbon finance is necessary for the activity, scale or continuation of the intervention.

Lifecycle boundary

Project emissions, leakage and processing impacts accounted for in the net result.

Safeguards

Land rights, feedstock sourcing, local impacts and stakeholder participation.

Delivery

Current stage, issuance pathway, forward risk and contractual remedies.

Our removal pathways

Engineered durability and landscape transformation.

Biochar

Stabilise biogenic carbon through pyrolysis.

Organic residues are converted into a durable material, with batch-level process data and controlled eligible end use.

Dark Earth

Soil carbon

Change agricultural management at field scale.

Primary farm data, soil sampling and process-based models quantify changes in carbon stocks and agricultural emissions.

Seeds of Recovery

Agroforestry

Restore tree cover inside productive landscapes.

Plot-level monitoring links biomass and land-management removals to farms, commodities and long-term stewardship.

Cocoa Native Agroforestry

Removal portfolio

Projects available for buyer engagement.

Commercial status differs by project. Forward agreements can support scale, while issued supply provides shorter delivery exposure.

Forward removals

Finance growth while managing delivery risk.

Forward contracts can unlock project capacity and long-term access, but they should be structured around real milestones.

01

Stage-based diligence

Assess feasibility, validation, construction, verification and issuance risks separately.

02

Defined delivery window

Set vintages, quantities, make-good provisions and remedies for delay or under-delivery.

03

Finance linked to project needs

Connect prepayment or price support to the project activities and milestones required for scale.

04

Ongoing information rights

Receive milestone, monitoring and verification updates throughout the contract period.

Removal FAQ

Questions corporate buyers should ask.

Which carbon removal pathways does Sentinel Earth develop?

Our public portfolio includes urban biochar, regenerative agriculture and native-species agroforestry. Each pathway has different measurement methods, storage durations and risk controls.

What makes a removal durable?

Durability describes how long carbon is expected to remain stored and how reversal risk is controlled. Biochar and land-sector storage have different time horizons, monitoring obligations and uncertainty profiles.

What are the risks of buying removals forward?

Forward purchases carry project and delivery risk because the units have not yet been issued. Strong agreements use milestone-based diligence, delivery windows, reporting rights and remedies, with future volumes treated as forecasts rather than guarantees.

How are soil carbon removals measured?

Credible programmes combine farm activity data, direct soil sampling, appropriate models, uncertainty deductions and repeated monitoring. The exact design depends on the methodology, geography and project scale.

Can removals be used for net-zero claims?

That depends on the organisation's target framework, progress on emissions reductions, the characteristics of the removal and the claim being made. Removal procurement and public claims should therefore be assessed separately against the applicable framework.
