Moisture & Mass
Biogas becomes biomethane when it's cleaned of carbon dioxide and other impurities. This upgrading process increases methane content to 95%+ for clean energy use.
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is how the US identifies biomethane. that meets pipeline-quality standards. It's chemically identical to fossil natural gas but made from renewable sources.
The system that delivers RNG through existing natural gas infrastructures after the gas has been captured, processed, and injected.

WET MASS / TONNES
Definition:
The total physical weight of the biochar material exactly as handled, which includes its full moisture content and chemical impurities. Wet tonnes is the specific metric unit ($1,000\kg) used to measure this mass on a scale.
Why it Matters:
Wet mass is useful for transport, but it overstates carbon value because it includes water.

Why it Matters:
Wet mass is useful for transport, but it overstates carbon value because it includes water.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Definition:
The exact percentage of water present within a physical biochar sample relative to its total recorded weight.
Why it Matters:
Water weight distorts calculations because moisture adds bulk on the scale but does not contribute to carbon storage. 3Degrees strictly factors it out so clients only pay for real climate value.
MOLAR MASS
Definition:
The chemical mass relationship used to translate elemental solid carbon atoms into their physical equivalent mass of gaseous carbon dioxide molecules.
Why it Matters:
Chemically translates physical, solid carbon into globally recognized carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e). This standard science anchors 3Degrees' credit monetization frameworks in compliant, tradeable financial units.
