Industry Hub
Map of the commercial landscape: producers, project developers, offtakers, and how supply meets voluntary CDR demand. This vault already has market volume and buyer notes under Carbon Markets; this hub links out rather than duplicating those files.

Domain purpose
Industry sits at the intersection of:
- Production capacity — reactors, feedstocks, quality certification (Production Hub, Product Standards EBC IBI)
- Application markets — soil amendments and built uses (Applications Hub)
- Credit sales — registries, brokers, corporate offtakes (Carbon Markets Hub · Verra vs Isometric vs Puro)
Use this page to navigate commercial context; keep quantitative claims tied to Market Volumes and Pricing, Buyers and Offtakes, and Key Sources.

Gaps / to research
- Producer directory by region and technology (only with citable sources) — start from ABI/USBI directory UX on https://biochar.org/ / https://usbi.biochar-us.org/
- Typical project capex/opex and credit break-evens (almost never public)
- Role of developers, aggregators, and MRV service firms (Carbonfuture, Bioflux, etc.)
- Overlap between product sales (soil amendment) and credit stacking
- US vs Global South delivery footprints and logistics constraints
- Post–Q1 2026 delivery against megadeals
