Durable Carbon Removal,
Enhanced Soil Resilience 

We turn local biomass into biochar, locking carbon away for centuries while restoring soils and ecosystems.

How It Works

Intercepting the Carbon Cycle

When biomass like wood decomposes, its carbon goes back into the atmosphere. When it's burned, the same thing happens. We take biomass streams like tree surgery waste and heat it in a low-oxygen environment. This process, called pyrolysis, converts the carbon into a stable form that resists decomposition.

The result is biochar, a material that locks carbon away for 100+ years while improving the soil it's applied to.

100+ Years of carbon stability

The Evidence

What the Research Shows

100+
Years of carbon storage
Biochar produced at temperatures above 550°C contains stable carbon structures that persist for centuries to millennia.
90%+
Of durable CDR credits
In 2024, biochar accounted for over 90% of all delivered durable carbon removal credits globally.
13–20%
Average yield increase
Meta-analysis of over 100 studies shows consistent yield improvements, particularly in acidic and nutrient-poor soils.
3 Gt
Annual removal potential
Using available waste from farming and forestry, biochar could remove up to 6% of global emissions each year.
