Sylvera - Trusted ratings, tools and data for carbon credits and CDR

Sylvera is a platform that provides market leading insights, sourcing, diligence, and price discovery. Part of their service is their ratings that are underpinned by cutting-edge research and proprietary data. Sylvera is the only rating agency that contributes to the scientific literature, in collaboration with academics, NGOs, governments and multilateral institutions.

CarbonConnect Transparency

As a core part of our work, we deem transparency as a key indicator for trustworthy carbon removal and climate action. When Sylvera approached us to offer being part of the first cohort of artisan biochar projects that are rated by their methodology, the answer was obvious: absolutely! With little to no fear that we could receive a bad rating, we submitted all possible evidence we gathered over time to prove that our projects are worth investing in. The results make us proud and showed us that artisan biochar is competitively robust within the broader spectrum of carbon removal methodologies.

Estimated Rating AA - BBB for Zimbabwe Artisan Pro

The rating for our Baobab Biochar project shows that ourartisan biochar projects follow state-of-the-art measurement, reporting, and verification, which leads to a robust data collection and climate action traceability. From tracking to community benefits, this project offers high-integrity carbon removal certificates and rural transformation. As a result of the project's integrity, we are proud to be listed with carbonfuture.earth.

Estimated Rating A - BB for Cameroon Farmers Network

Even in a decentralised and distributed project design with higher on-the-ground obstacles, this rating is a testament to the integrity of artisan biochar carbon removal projects.

Our motivation: bringing projects to excellence

We are glad to have been part of this first cohort of rating artisan biochar projects. Not only does this offer a benchmarking, and public confidence in the integrity of these projects, but also it shows room for improvements. We thrive to step up our operational standard as we believe a good project must withstand any due diligence. Every extra mile in data collection and additional proof will be an extra mile worth walking to bring resilience and wealth to our Climate Farmers in the global south!
