Providing a nature based solution to climate change

Leveraging nature's ability to capture carbon through photosynthesis and locking that carbon away for centuries to help restore balance to the ecosystem

What is Biochar?

Charcoal has been used by humans for centuries to heat homes and power industry. We use charcoal to durably sequester carbon and lock it away for centuries.

​

Biochar is created by heating biomass in the absence of oxygen. Instead of burning, the material carbonizes and becomes resistant to decomposition. This valuable material can then be used to improve the health of the soil, while maintaining the removal of carbon.

​

As a scalable, nature based solution to climate change, biochar can play an important role in helping to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

About Me

Ben Photo_edited.jpg

My name is Ben, I’m an analytical chemist by day and climate entrepreneur by night. I’ve been passionate about helping fight climate change for more than a decade. I reached the point financially where I could use my extra time and resources to help make a difference. Carb Seq was founded to help in the fight against climate change. I was tired of seeing companies promise net zero by 2035 or 2040 but doing relatively little to help the earth today.  Miscanthus biochar offers a scalable, extremely low-cost way to remove carbon from the atmosphere. It may not be the most technologically advanced solution, but ultimately it comes down to putting as many tons of carbon back into the ground as possible.

If you are like me and are tired of the inaction on climate change, I would love your help. You could tell your friends and help spread the word about Carb Seq. If you have the means to donate, pre ordering carbon removal would be even better. Your help, whether it is spreading the word or pre-ordering carbon removal, will help to scale up faster and do more to help the climate. No one person or technology is going to solve this problem alone, but if we work together, we can make a difference.

Our Process

The grass grows with little fertilizer or pesticide required

The volume of biomass is reduced to lower the energy required for carbonization

Grow

Densify

Plant

Plant fast growing hybrid grass Miscanthus x Giganteus

Harvest

Grass is harvested annually using commercially available farm equipment

Char

Densified biomass is turned into biochar for long duration carbon storage

Development Timeline

Spring 2024

Plant pilot scale test

​

Winter 2024

Optimize carbonization and determine net negativity

​

Spring 2026

Plant first production scale acreage

​

Fall 2024

Complete pilot scale densification and carbonization system

​

Winter 2025

Deliver first pilot scale carbon capture

​

Winter 2028
