The application of biochar to agricultural land contributes to climate change mitigation and soil conservation. In particular, the resulting increase in soil carbon sequestration has attracted growing interest as a potential basis of CO2 removal credit generation. This study has developed a method to estimate biochar pyrolysis temperature and associated soil carbon sequestration potential, using analytical values from the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) M 8812. This proposed approach allows for more straightforward and accurate estimation of carbon sequestration irrespective of feedstock type and is expected to facilitate the broader use of biochar and enhance the efficiency of carbon credit creation.
