Biocare Biochar Portfolio: Turning Waste Into Climate Solutions

Biocare is an engineering-focused developer of biochar carbon removal projects, bringing deep technical expertise and project delivery capability across Asia, Australia, North America and South America. We design and implement large-scale biochar systems that transform locally available agricultural and forestry residues into high-quality biochar using Biocare’s technology — creating measurable, durable carbon removal outcomes.

Our multidisciplinary team of engineers, project developers, analysts and scientists ensures each facility is optimised for efficiency, safety, and verifiable carbon removal performance. Beyond durable carbon storage, Biocare’s projects enhance soil health, support regenerative agriculture, and create new value chains for local communities.

Through rigorous engineering, scalable design, and trusted execution, Biocare is accelerating the global deployment of biochar as an industrial-grade climate solution.

🇱🇰 Sri Lankan Coconut Project.

Located in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Coconut Triangle, this flagship project will process approximately 164,000 tonnes of coconut petiole waste annually, producing around 36,700 tonnes of biochar and removing an estimated 72,000 tonnes of CO₂e each year. By processing large volumes of agricultural residues, the initiative supports sustainable farming, enhances pest control practices, and generates rural employment — all while delivering significant carbon sequestration benefits.

🇻🇳 Vietnam Coconut & Rice Residues Project

This project will recover and process more than 109,000 tonnes of agricultural residues each year — including rice straw (31%) and coconut husks (69%) — converting them into stable biochar. By doing so, it will remove up to 30,900 tonnes of CO₂e annually. Beyond carbon removal, the project creates new income opportunities for farmers, enhances soil fertility, and significantly reduces open burning, helping to build a cleaner and more sustainable rural economy.

🇦🇷 Argentinian Forestry Biochar Project

Located in Corrientes Province, Argentina, this large-scale biochar project addresses the environmental risks of unmanaged forestry residues from eucalyptus and pine plantations and sawmills. Each year, it will process around 140,000 tonnes of fresh biomass and convert it into approximately 23,000 tonnes of biochar. By transforming material that would otherwise be openly burned, the project prevents emissions, improves land management, and delivers durable carbon storage. The project is expected to generate around 45,000 tonnes of durable CDR credits annually, while also providing valuable agronomic benefits.

🇦🇺 Australian Forestry Residues Project 

Biocare is developing a commercial-scale charcoal plant in Queensland, to supply high-quality charcoal for use in the production of green metallurgical-grade silicon (MGSi) from locally sourced silica quartz

The plant will process approximately 300,000–310,000 tonnes of Eucalyptus and Radiata Pine biomass annually (50% moisture) to produce around 60,000 tonnes of charcoal. The charcoal will meet strict smelter feed specifications, including defined particle size distributions and consistent carbon quality, supporting the decarbonisation of Australia’s silicon supply chain.

🇻🇳 MK Rice Husk Biochar Partnership

Located in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, this strategic partnership converts more than 24,500 tonnes of rice husks annually into high-quality biochar, which is applied to agricultural soils to improve fertility and permanently sequester carbon. By transforming a readily available waste stream into a valuable climate asset, the project empowers local rice millers and farmers, supports sustainable agricultural practices, and delivers approximately 7,400 tonnes of durable carbon removal (CDR) credits each year. This initiative showcases a scalable, high-impact model for decarbonising agriculture while driving local economic benefits.

🇦🇺 Carbonchip Mobile Carboniser

The Carbonchip project brings mobile biochar production technology to Australian forestry operations, converting wood residues into biochar directly at the source. This flexible, decentralised model demonstrates how carbon removal can be rapid, cost-effective, and scalable, simultaneously reducing waste, sequestering carbon, and enhancing soil health.

As one of Biocare’s earliest issued CDR projects (2023), Carbonchip has already issued 579 carbon removal credits, showcasing practical, near-term impact and the potential of innovative biochar solutions in Australia’s forestry sector.

Scaling Durable Carbon Removal, Globally

Biocare’s growing portfolio demonstrates how local biomass resources can be transformed into high-integrity, durable carbon removals. Through strategic partnerships and scalable technology, we are unlocking new climate solutions that combine environmental integrity with real community impact.

As we expand across regions and feedstocks, Biocare continues to lead in building a credible, diversified biochar portfolio that delivers lasting climate benefits.
