About Carbo Culture
Carbo Culture is a Finnish-American climate technology company focused on carbon dioxide removal through the production of stable biochar.
Founded in 2016, with roots tracing back to 2013, the company is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, and operates a prototype facility in Woodside, California, along with plans for an industrial-scale facility in the Netherlands. Carbo Culture aims to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2030, utilizing advanced engineering to convert agricultural and industrial waste into high-quality biochar that sequesters carbon for over 1,000 years. The company's core technology, CarbolysisTM, efficiently transforms waste biomass into biochar while generating renewable energy. Carbo Culture produces biochar for various applications, including electric arc furnace steelmaking and soil enhancement in agriculture and urban landscaping. Additionally, the company offers verified carbon removal credits to organizations looking to meet climate goals. With a commitment to scaling operations and reducing costs, Carbo Culture is set to commercialize its services fully by 2024–2025, positioning itself as a leader in the biochar carbon removal sector.
