Implementing an on-farm Biochar Demonstration Project The Great Lakes/Ohio Biochar Demonstration Project The Great Lakes/Ohio Biochar Demonstration Project is a water quality and carbon credit demonstration project in the W. Lake Erie basin of the Great Lakes, and will pyrolyze dairy cow manure on a 450-head dairy farm, and land-apply the biochar produced. The project will test soil carbon, soil quality, water quality, and related impacts, and seek to market soil carbon and water quality credits in ecosystem markets. The internship will involve development of a carbon methodology for biochar soil carbon credits, with The Climate Trust and/or the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS), and related assistance required to implement the project. drdassociates. org Washington, DC $500 per week 06 01 09 as available Debbie Reed 202 547 0309 dreed@drdassociates. org, Familiarity with agriculture, biochar, cap-and-trade, climate change, and ecosystem services markets, including carbon markets.
