We are on a mission to develop and scale groundbreaking technologies that regenerate our soils and sequester atmospheric carbon by the gigaton for the betterment of people and planet.
Our technology leverages natural thermal processes and precision automation to convert crop residues into biochar, a stable form of carbon that builds soil health and stays out of the atmosphere permanently.
By utilizing a mobile, in-field solution to convert field waste to biochar, we keep carbon where it matters most while dramatically cutting costs from the typical approach of shipping massive amounts of bulk material to and from centralized facilities.
