The project on biomass utilization and forest conservation is proposed as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project, by incorporating the carbonization of biomass residue and waste from the tree plantations and pulp mills, and also non-fuel utilization of charcoal like soil amendment in agriculture and forestry, water purification, etc. The total amount of carbon acquired by biochar reaches 18,587 Mg-C year^-1 (biochar used for soil improvement).
