This post explores how the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit is transforming the economics of U.S. fuel production, and why robust data is the only way to claim it. This article examines how Mangrove automates the transition from messy spreadsheets to an audit-ready "digital ledger" to maximize your credit value and future-proof your compliance.

Mangrove gives renewable fuels producers a system to perform accounting and comply with programs, making it easy to run production into ISCC, CFR, LCFS, RFS, 45Z, and voluntary markets without spreadsheet rework.

Charm Industrial and Mangrove Systems have joined forces to bring greater transparency and rigor to carbon removal monitoring, reporting, and verification. By combining Charm's pioneering bio-oil and biochar carbon removal operations with Mangrove's digital MRV platform, this partnership streamlines data collection, reporting, and certification, making high-quality carbon credits more credible and scalable than ever.

We're launching Mangrove MCP, enabling AI tools like Claude to query carbon removal and low-carbon fuel project data using natural language. The Model Context Protocol integration eliminates manual data exports, allowing teams to perform technical audits and trend analyses conversationally. Available to all Mangrove customers, it transforms MRV data into an accessible, AI-powered asset while maintaining human oversight for accuracy.

We are thrilled to kick off 2026 with a major product announcement, introducing several powerful features that bring new precision and flexibility to MRV workflows. We've rolled out Uncertainty Accounting for rigorous carbon accounting, Feedstock Tracking for multi-feedstock projects, Custom Fields on Projects for tailored data management, and a new Excel and Sharepoint integration to streamline data import.

This week, Annie offers guidance on required certification documentation for biochar carbon removal project registration, highlighting three essential documents: the Project Design Document (PDD), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Monitoring Plan. She covers the purpose of each document and includes the specific components for each.

This week, Annie addresses the timing and costs of carbon removal credit verification for biochar producers. Verification occurs intermittently due to costs even while biochar is produced continuously. Technological advancements aim to streamline verification, improving cash conversion cycles for developers.

In the first post in our “Ask Annie” series, Annie Nichols, Mangrove's GM of Biochar, addresses biochar project developers’ concerns about carbon removal certification, clarifying misconceptions about crediting periods.

Puro.Earth’s June 2025 update to its Biochar Carbon Removal Methodology introduces a significantly more detailed and prescriptive 142-page framework, enhancing rigor across certification requirements and quantification processes.

Project developers and partners can use the API to integrate operational systems with Mangrove. Additionally, the Mangrove API includes several mechanisms to send data from Mangrove to a variety of systems and destinations.

Mangrove receives official endorsement as the first dMRV Provider for Global Biochar C-Sink

Automatically convert data from your value chain and operational systems into datapoints for accounting and reporting to registries and programs.

Simplify and streamline the process of gathering essential inputs and documents from your partners across the project boundary with Data Requests.

The protocol guides how to quantify, monitor, report, and verify climate benefits from the production and use of biochar in the U.S. and Canada.

First Carbon Dioxide Removal and Storage Methodology Approved by Gold Standard

This major update to Puro’s Geologically Stored Carbon Methodology, originally released in 2021, marks a significant milestone for the geologic storage of CO2 in carbon removal.

The methodology framework provides a set of modules for capture, transport and storage segments of a CCS project that can be combined, depending on the specific design of the CCS project or technologies implemented.

The push to develop robust and high quality MRV is growing. As the carbon markets expand and diversify, the need for accurate, transparent, and reliable verification of carbon emissions, reductions, and removals becomes more critical than ever.
