What is Biochar carbon removal?
Biochar carbon removal (BCR), also known as Pyrogenic Carbon Capture and Storage, is a carbon-negative technology. This process involves producing biochar by subjecting biomass waste to pyrolysis and then upcycling the biochar to soils or long-lasting materials like cement or tar.
Why Biochar?
Biochar not only sequesters carbon in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years and contributes to long-term carbon dioxide removal, but it increases the capacity of soils to sequester carbon, making it an effective tool in combating climate change while boosting agricultural productivity.
Some of our partners
Biochar is a permanent & premium CDR option, with recent studies showing it can be stored underground for 100-1000s of years. Additionally, Biochar CDR offers a rounded solution for environmental & social sustainability - it can be reused in many applications, including water filtration and soil fertilisation in developing regions.
Biochar the optimal CDR technique
The IPCC has stated CDR is vital for achieving net-zero emissions, and CDR’s inclusion in climate agreements like the Paris Agreement underscores its role in securing a sustainable future. While it is necessary to balance our carbon budget & address historical emissions, companies that engage in the Voluntary Carbon Market are 1.8x more likely to be decarbonising year on year.
In recent years, Biochar CDR demand has surged due to defined global climate goals, growing pressure to address climate change, and regulatory support. This upward trajectory is driven by the recognition that engineered carbon removal methods like Biochar hold exceptional value, and its adoption by the world's leading brands.
