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.
