Canadian carbon removal specialist Carbon Alpha has advanced its North Star biogenic carbon removal project by selecting Canada-based Mangrove Systems as its provider for digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV).
Based in Alberta, North Star is a bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project that converts forestry waste into renewable energy, capturing the resulting biogenic CO2 and storing it permanently in geological formations in Saskatchewan.
As envisaged, it will capture CO2 from the MLTC Bioenergy Centre, a biomass power plant, and in the process generate around 90,000 carbon removal credits a year. A carbon credit is a tradable certificate representing CO2 reduced or removed from the atmosphere.
With Mangrove Systems technology, real-time tracking of the carbon removal process – from biomass delivery and CO2 capture through to injection and storage – will be enabled.
