Measure
Record what happened, where and when it happened.
- In pilotLocation, time and photos from the phone, even without a signal.
- In build queueKiln and equipment sensors, lab results and satellite imagery.
dMRV at the core
From the field to evidence ready for verification.
dMRV means digital measurement, reporting and verification. Akshaya Dhara measures, reports and prepares the evidence. Verification stays with independent verifiers and registries.
Report
Seal each record and link it into one chain, from biomass to final use.
- In pilotRecords sealed on the device and receipted by the server after sync.
- In build queueMethodology calculations and reports for each project and batch.
Verify
Get the evidence ready for the people who decide.
- In build queueReview workflow: gaps, questions and corrections tracked to closure.
- In build queueAudit packages for independent verifiers and registries.
Beyond carbon credits
Biochar is a material with real markets.
Carbon credits are one possible outcome, not the whole business. Akshaya Dhara records where each batch ends up, because the end use decides what can honestly be claimed.
Can store carbon
Replaces fossil carbon
Depends on end of life
Soil & agriculture
Soil amendment, compost, growing media and animal bedding.
Can store carbonCement, concrete & construction
Additive in cement, concrete, plaster and asphalt.
Can store carbonPaper, packaging & composites
Filler in paper and packaging, and in wood-polymer composites.
Can store carbonWater & land remediation
Stormwater filters, erosion control and cleaning up contaminated soil.
Can store carbonSteel & metallurgy
Replaces fossil coal and coke as a reductant or fuel. The carbon is burned.
Replaces fossil carbonActivated carbon & filtration
Upgraded into activated carbon for water and air treatment.
Depends on end of lifeWhether a use earns carbon-removal credits depends on the standard, the project data and independent verification. The storage tags follow published registry lists of eligible end uses, for example the Climate Action Reserve list.
The wider platform
One platform, switched on in stages.
Around the dMRV core, Akshaya Dhara covers the operations, market and finance of a biochar project. Every part is in one build programme, delivered in sequence. Each part goes live only after it has been built, tested and proven in the field.
In pilot
Building
In build queue
Field & operations
In pilot
Field app
Phone capture for field operators. Works offline. English, plus AI-translated Hindi and other Indian languages.
Building
Coordinator console
Invite, manage and remove the people in a programme, and see who is active.
Building
Project portal
One workspace for organisations, projects, sites, batches and people.
In build queue
Sites & maps
Land parcels and facilities on a map, with satellite imagery and overlap checks.
Evidence & dMRV
In pilot
Evidence custody
Records sealed on the device and receipted by the server, on Chamelion evidence infrastructure.
In build queue
Methodology & assurance
Methodology requirements and calculations, with checks for missing or contradictory evidence.
In build queue
Quality & laboratory
Samples, chain of custody and lab results, linked to each batch.
In build queue
Audit & registry handoff
Evidence packages prepared for independent verifiers and registries.
Market, value & finance
In build queue
Sourcing (CarboSource)
Biomass sourcing, production planning, inventory and logistics.
In build queue
Participant agreements
Agreements and contributions for farmers and operators, with a way to raise concerns.
In build queue
Marketplace
Biochar listings for farm, construction and industrial buyers, with requirements, offers and reservations.
In build queue
Finance & risk
Diligence packs for finance partners, plus contracts, permits, risks and insurance.
Parts marked Building or In build queue are not available yet. Their scope and timing may change.
Who it is for
Built for everyone in the chain.
Biochar makers & project developers
Sites, batches and evidence in one place, instead of spreadsheets and photo folders.
Farmers, FPOs & field operators
Simple phone capture that works offline and is built for low-cost Android phones.
Buyers, verifiers & finance partners
A way to follow each claim back to the field record, not just a summary sheet.
Akshaya Dhara records and protects evidence. It does not issue carbon credits.
It does not verify projects or guarantee registry acceptance. Those decisions stay with independent verifiers, registries, laboratories and financial institutions.
Built by Carbotor Technologies
Carbotor also builds and runs biochar production units. Akshaya Dhara is designed for any biochar project, including those of other producers.
