1. Document status and purpose
This document is the ten-year strategic master for project development, Stage-Gate management, resource mobilisation and public communication.
The long-term direction remains coherent while implementation details may adapt to law, carbon accounting methods, technology, finance, field evidence and confirmed partnerships.
The website and derivative documents should use the same definitions, status labels and safeguards as this Master.
2. Vision 2035
By 2035, BIO-NO BURN™ aims to evolve from a community open-burning reduction model into a measurable, verifiable and scalable climate and low-carbon agriculture platform that creates fair value for farmers, communities, government, businesses, investors and development partners.
3. Policy principles
Build measurements and evidence before making any carbon-credit claim.
Finance should support the strategy rather than redirect it toward short-term funding.
Farmers and communities must benefit fairly from the transition.
Clearly separate actual results, estimated mitigation potential and independently issued credits.
Expand only when data, evidence, finance and implementation capacity are ready.
Welcome cooperation while protecting formulas, technical information and intellectual assets.
4. Seven strategic pillars
Prevent open burning and provide practical biomass-management alternatives.
Restore soil organic matter and strengthen soil-health data.
Collect, process, compost and return biomass to productive use.
Reduce carbon-intensive inputs while protecting yield and income.
Build measurement, reporting, verification and traceability records.
Connect public, corporate and international finance with appropriate mechanisms.
Build capacity, fair benefit sharing and a just transition.
5. Implementation and scaling architecture
6. Digital MRV Registry
Every new area should enter a common data architecture to support monitoring, traceability, GHG assessment and future consideration of suitable carbon mechanisms.
- Farmer ID and participation record
- Plot ID, coordinates and boundaries
- Crop type and land use
- Historical baseline and residue-management behaviour
- Agricultural residue and biomass quantities
- Burning/no-burning status and biomass-management method
- Compost and soil-amendment records
- Fertiliser and farm inputs
- Soil data
- Relevant yield and income data
- GHG calculations under an applicable method
- Dated and geolocated photos, records and evidence
- Monitoring Report and Verification Readiness
7. Carbon integrity policy
- No quantity will be presented as carbon credits until the relevant methodology, baseline, additionality, monitoring, reporting, verification and issuance requirements have been completed.
- During development, use “Estimated GHG Mitigation Potential” together with the applicable MRV method, assumptions and verification status.
- Prevent double counting and establish clear data rights, benefit rights and credit-use rules before any transaction.
8. Corporate Climate Partnership Policy
- Progress from being only a CSR recipient to becoming a Corporate Climate Implementation Partner.
- Cooperation pathway: CSR/ESG → Climate Demonstration → Supply-chain Decarbonization → Scope 3 Collaboration → MRV → Carbon Feasibility → Climate Finance → Long-term Partnership.
- The 2,500-rai demonstration framework covers open-burning reduction, biomass management, farmer transition, soil improvement, Digital MRV, GHG assessment and community development.
- No organisation will be publicly described as a partner until cooperation has been appropriately confirmed.
9. Funding architecture
DCCE, Climate Fund, BOI, provincial/local authorities and relevant public programmes.
CSR/ESG, Climate Partnership, supply-chain and corporate climate finance.
ADB, UNDP/GEF, FAO, ASEAN, bilateral cooperation and international climate funds.
T-VER/Premium T-VER or another applicable and suitable future mechanism.
Organic fertiliser, agricultural produce, biomass services, training, technology and knowledge.
10. Roadmap 2026–2035 and Stage-Gates
Reconcile evidence for the reported 2,500-rai footprint; complete the Farmer/Plot Registry, biomass and soil data and Digital MRV; and pursue the 5,000-rai target under Stage-Gate controls.
Gate: Internal Data & Evidence ReviewValidate and consolidate readiness for the 5,000-rai target, with a GHG inventory, MRV pilot, methodology feasibility and corporate partnerships before further expansion.
Gate: Independent Technical ReviewDevelop 5,000–10,000+ rai, aggregation/bundling, benefit sharing and climate finance.
Gate: Scale & Finance DecisionCreate an implementation standard, train local implementers and replicate across provinces.
Gate: Replication ReadinessDevelop national/regional models, connect international climate finance and consider Article 6 when ready.
Gate: Regional Partnership & Compliance Review11. KPI framework
12. Governance
Oversees vision, policy, Stage-Gates, risk and approval to move between stages.
Manages baseline, methodology, data standards, GHG accounting and verification readiness.
Manages finance, partnerships, benefit sharing and funding conditions.
Reviews every 6–12 months and after material changes in law, methodology, finance, partnerships or verification.
13. Stage-Gate decision rules
14. Public communication policy
- Separate information into: implemented/evidenced, under development/discussion, and future strategic targets.
- Present 5,000 rai, 10,000+ rai and Thailand → ASEAN as targets until implemented and evidenced.
- Do not announce an organisation under discussion as a confirmed partner.
- Always state that this Living Roadmap depends on technical feasibility, finance, methodology, verification, regulation and confirmed agreements.

16. Ultimate objective
Demonstrate not only that “a community can stop burning”, but that “no-burn agriculture can create a new farmer economy while reducing GHG emissions, restoring soil, reducing PM2.5 and delivering measurable and verifiable results.”
