Maturity stage TRL 7 - Prototype testing in the real world

Every year, $100B worth of soil is lost to erosion and degradation and it is expected to reach the trillions by mid-century. In addition, there is a trillion ton debt of carbon in the atmosphere, already severely impacting our ecosystem’s resilience. To tackle this challenge, Carbo Culture developed functional biocarbon from waste. With its innovative and patented manufacturing process, Carbo Culture produces high-quality biochar for better agricultural performance and soil remediation. Carbo Culture system is circular and uses less than 4% start-up energy for production. At scale, one full-sized facility is projected to sequester almost 20.000 tons of CO2 annually. Biochar is amongst the most affordable, technologically ready, carbon sequestration methods with the largest potential for CO2 utilization.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Reduces by 50% the CO2 emitted in the atmosphere
  • Atmospheric CO2 permanently removed: 50000% more (250kgC vs less than 5kgC for decomposition per BDT of feedstock)
  • No water used
  • No impact on human health

The Financial Benefits

  • 30% cheaper compared to activated carbon
  • Improved greenery and water quality management with a carbon negative footprint
