Pacific Biochar offers carbon dioxide removal with the tangible co-benefits of aiding forest management efforts where our biochar is sourced, and improving soil health where our biochar is applied. Biochar is listed as one of the top five natural climate solutions for climate change mitigation in a 2019 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.
Catastrophic wildfires in California make clear the urgency of forest management practices that reduce risk and improve forest health. These Federal, State, and private efforts result in copious amounts of forest biomass residue. At our California facilities we can put that forest biomass to good use by stabilizing the woody carbon into biochar and applying that biochar to the abundant farmlands in the valleys below, where the benefits of improved soil health will be realized for generations to come.
Forest management problems become climate change solutions, and we leave a legacy of fertile soil.
We can scale quickly to meet the challenge with a unique, low-capital approach that utilizes existing infrastructure. Pacific Biochar designs, engineers, and implements modifications to biomass power plants. We also work with brand new projects looking to produce biochar. We pride ourselves in grit and integrity, and there’s a track record of success to prove our worth.
Pacific Biochar was the first of any company in the Americas to generate biochar carbon removal credits, with our partner at Humboldt Sawmill in 2020. And three years later, in 2023, Pacific Biochar was the largest supplier of durable carbon removal credits on the Earth, of any company or technology type.
