Company mission
To remove 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Our take
In the global fight against climate change, it is necessary to reduce or eliminate carbon emissions from as many processes as possible. Carbo Culture is a carbon removal company focussed on reducing emissions associated with food waste, by transforming organic substances into biochar - a material with agricultural and construction applications.
The company takes waste biomass from places such as nut processing plants and vineyards, and uses its reactors to store the carbon permanently in solid biochar. It operates two reactors at its site in California - one that was built to demonstrate its process, and the second that is being used to investigate how to deploy its technology at scale.
With fresh funding secured in 2023, the company has plans to embark on a new stage of commercialisation and deployment, using its R&D efforts over the last year to develop commercial scale projects. With this, the company expresses the potential to play a key role in decarbonisation efforts as the world reaches a crucial turning point for climate change.
