The Norwegian Forests: High-Quality Feedstock for Biochar
Norway’s vast forests generate large volumes of wood waste – logs, branches, and trunks not fit for commercial milling. This residue is abundant, underutilized, and proven to yield superior-quality biochar compared to agricultural inputs. Our pilot site in Tinn/Rjukan will be strategically located to access this feedstock, enabling efficient validation and scalable production from day one.
​
-
Timber not suitable for construction – an abundant by-product of routine forest operations.
-
Residue includes low-grade logs, offcuts, and branchwood – ideal for consistent, high-carbon biochar yield.
Diversified & Increasing Demands for the Offtake Commodity Products
Biochar
Animal Husbandry
Feed additive improves digestion and disease resistance.
​
Agriculture
Boosts soil fertility – Enhance water retention – Increase nutrient efficiency – Reduce fertilizer runoff and agricultural pollution.
​
Construction
Additive in concrete, bricks, and insulation – Improves durability, insulation properties, and overall carbon profile.
​
Industri, Energy and Electronics
Reductant in silicon/ferroalloy smelting
Applied in lithium-ion batteries for high conductivity
Utilized as a support or catalyst in graphene and advanced materials
​
Waste Treatment
Treats sewage and industrial wastewater by adsorbing heavy metals and toxins
​
Waste Valorisation
Converts low-value organic waste into high-impact products – Enables circular economy flows and new revenue streams
Biofuel
Condensates like wood vinegar, tar, and pyrolysis oil can be refined or directly used – Serves as renewable substitutes for fossil-based transport or industrial fuels.
Biochar – Carbon Credit Trading Market
Carbon removal from the atmosphere
Biochar converts waste biomass into stable carbon, locking COâ‚‚ into solid form for centuries. It transforms agricultural residues into a durable carbon sink.
Certified under leading standards
Recognised by Puro.Earth (the most active engineered removals registry) and now entering Verra and others, biochar credits meet the rising bar for quality and permanence.
Dual revenue per tonne
Each tonne of biochar generates both a marketable product (agriculture, construction, or industry) and a certified carbon credit – unlocking two value streams from one process.
Surging demand for high-integrity credits
With companies under pressure to show real climate impact – especially in hard-to-abate sectors – demand for durable carbon removals far exceeds supply. Biochar is one of the few credible, scalable options available today.
Regulatory and Pricing Tailwinds
Markets are tightening. The EU, Japan, and US are pushing harder on removals. Top-tier credits fetch €100–150 per tonne COâ‚‚ in private deals, with further upside expected as standards rise.
