Biochar
A carbon dioxide removal process begins with collecting biomass waste from forest and agriculture industries. This already prevents environmental harm by removing a significant source of air pollution and methane released from the decomposition process. This is primarily caused by the fact that biomass waste is no longer valuable by the biomass owner, and is now being openly burned across the country.
We process this biomass with a biochar technology for carbon capture. This CO2 removal technology works by depriving the biomass of heat and limited oxygen and applying pressure that produces charcoal. Charcoal produced in this way is referred to as biochar as a carbon dioxide removal process, it accelerates the natural carbon cycle. Both methods sequester – or stabilize – the carbon in the biomass so that it cannot escape into the oceans or atmosphere, removing the risk of harmful CO2 emission.
But the difference in biochar technology for carbon capture is that two-thirds of the carbon in biomass is sequestered in the process. In contrast, the natural carbon cycle only sequesters around 1% of biomass carbon. One ton of biochar contains approximately three tons of CO2. Because this CO2 is sequestered in a stable carbon, it cannot be released into the atmosphere or oceans as gas or water. Our CO2 removal technology has minimal energy requirements. For years, this has been a critical challenge for carbon dioxide removal and sequestration, as many methods put forward have been prohibitively expensive in terms of energy and financial resources.

deKarb is not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly in the actions of our initiatives.
A carbon-related technology company with Industry-level biochar production technology to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Co-benefit from deKarb biochar utilization
-
Harvesting and forestry management sustainably decrease the risk of forest fires, insect damage, and diseases.
-
Collecting agricultural waste from agricultural lands that have not been illegally deforested and have not been deforested within the last ten years.
-
Biochar is deployed directly for soil improvement. It dramatically increases water and nutrient retention in the soil leading to yield increases.
-
Biochar reduces nutrient leaching, which has caused damage to waterways and seas.
-
Biochar reduces the need for artificial fertilizers, which are typically energy-intensive to produce.
-
Green jobs: The production of biochar creates green jobs throughout the value chain from harvesting to distribution and usage.
-
The use of biochar as an animal feed additive has well-documented health benefits and reduces methane emissions.

Our Partners
We worked with OFP on a project with MRV phase requirements for spreading our biochar on degraded land and for various fruit tree plantations. The entire process was a pleasure every step of the way, and both parties successfully achieved all of our goals.
We worked on this COLABORATREE project for many months, and the results were much better than expected. Lindungi Hutan is a valued client and we look forward to Phase 2 of this project.
Volve
We partnered with Volve to work on the 5th Biogas Station. The synergy from joining forces was inspirational, and we look forward to using their services again in the future.
