HOW IT WORKS

WE WORK WITH NATURE FOR NATURE

We use the natural carbon cycle to bind CO2 from the atmosphere. Directly and long-term

The natural world already offers us machines capable of absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. They convert it into organic materials (sugars) and oxygen. Even better, they operate solely on sunlight.

That's right: we're talking about plants! And not just trees, but all plants.

The greenery in our fields also undergoes photosynthesis and stores CO2. However, unlike in trees, the CO2 stored in crops, foliage, and grasses isn't sequestered for a long period of time; it's part of a natural cycle of absorption, storage, and release through burning or uncontrolled composting.

Here lies the opportunity: that's why we practice Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR).

BCR refers to the use of biochar, a stable form of organic carbon, to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the soil long-term. Biochar is produced by pyrolyzing biomass, where organic materials such as plant waste are heated in a low-oxygen environment. The result is a porous, carbon-rich material. By further processing it into fertilizer, we enhance the natural carbon cycle to improve soil health and reduce CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.

THE CARBON CYCLE

GREAT IMPACT IN A
SUSTAINABLE WORLD

BIOCHAR FOR BETTER SOIL

Terra Preta stands as a groundbreaking solution that brings about a remarkable enhancement in soil quality. Through the integration of our carefully crafted biochar, the core element of Terra Preta, into the soil, we witness a remarkable improvement in fertility, structure, and water retention capacity. The application of our biochar has led to a substantial increase in the fertility of the humus. By combining augmented nutrient availability for plants, heightened microbial activity, and reduced soil erosion, we have achieved up to four times greater yields compared to non-treated soil.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL PEOPLE

We provide our local partners with more than just the technology and expertise to produce Terra Preta. We also offer them the opportunity to share in the profits of the CO2 certificates. This approach empowers them to be a part of a market that was previously inaccessible to them. By sharing the benefits of carbon credits, we foster a mutually beneficial partnership that not only helps combat climate change but also uplifts the livelihoods of our valued partners.

COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE

Our process not only brings direct benefits to the local communities but also plays a vital role in the global fight against climate change. By utilizing biological waste to create our biochar, we prevent the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that would have otherwise occurred through burning or natural decay. Through our innovative processes, carbon is transformed into a stable state and permanently sequestered in the soil. This carbon sequestration helps to offset carbon emissions, making a significant contribution to mitigating climate change and creating a more sustainable future for our planet.
