​Growing Biomass The process of removing CO2 from the atmosphere with biochar begins with growing biomass, such as trees, plants, or agricultural crops. During their growth, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, storing it as carbon in their tissues. This forms the raw material needed to create biochar.

​​​

Harvesting and Preparing Biomass Once the biomass has matured, the next step is to harvest it. Trees or plants are cut down, and their organic material is gathered. To prepare the biomass for pyrolysis, it needs to be broken down into smaller pieces. This can be done by chipping wood, shredding crop residues, or cutting plant matter, depending on the type of biomass being used. This ensures an even, efficient process during pyrolysis.

​

Pyrolysis – Converting Biomass into Biochar With the biomass ready, it is subjected to a process called pyrolysis. This involves heating the organic material at high temperatures (typically 400–700°C) in the absence of oxygen. Instead of burning, the biomass is chemically altered, transforming it into biochar. During this process, the carbon absorbed by plants is locked into a stable, solid form that can last for centuries.

 

Applying Biochar to Soil Once biochar is created, it can be applied to soils where it serves as a long-term carbon sink. Biochar’s porous structure makes it excellent at retaining moisture and nutrients, enhancing soil health while also sequestering carbon. This step is crucial because the carbon that was once in the atmosphere is now stored safely in the soil, reducing the overall CO2 levels.

 

Enhancing Agricultural Productivity In addition to sequestering carbon, biochar boosts agricultural productivity. By improving soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability, it helps crops grow healthier and faster. These thriving plants, in turn, absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere, creating a virtuous cycle of carbon sequestration.

 

Long-Term Carbon Sequestration Biochar is highly stable, meaning that the carbon locked within it will stay sequestered in the soil for thousands to even hundred of thousands of years. This prevents the carbon from re-entering the atmosphere as CO2, making biochar a critical tool for long-term climate change mitigation.

 

Scaling the Impact By scaling up biochar production and integrating it into various industries, we can further increase its impact. For every ton of biochar produced, up to 3 tons of CO2 can be removed from the atmosphere, making it one of the most efficient and scalable carbon capture techniques available.

Conclusion Using biochar to sequester CO2 begins with the careful cultivation and harvesting of biomass. Through pyrolysis and proper application in soils, biochar provides a sustainable way to lock carbon away for centuries, while enhancing soil health and agricultural productivity in the process.

It works for companies like Microsoft - will it work for you?

So far of all the carbon offsets actually done globally, 95% have been biochar based. This is because it is the technology and method that actually works, right now. 

​

This has been recognized by those corporations that have made a deep dive and really want to offset their emissions, such as Microsoft. 

​

Our aim with this initaitive is to make it so that more companies understand the potential, and that you can do real, long-term effective offsets, even if you are not a giant corporation. This is what we are here for. 

The challenge - where you come in

The biggest challenge now is that we need more middle sized companies to understand they can use this method. This requires more companies to buy carbon offsets that really work and are long-term stable. If you want to be part of it, reach out to us!
