This initiative set a new standard for transparency and buyer confidence in the Voluntary Carbon Market.
Karl also serves as a Board Member, Treasurer, and Standards Committee Member of the U.S. Biochar Coalition, a registered lobbying entity based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to advancing national policy, setting industry standards, and accelerating the adoption of biochar-based climate solutions.
