WASTE NOT

Biochar

The leftover biomass from farms and forests can be turned into biochar and added to soils, where it stores CO₂ for hundreds to thousands of years.

REMOVAL ROCKS

Mineralization

Thanks to chemical reactions, CO₂ plus minerals equals carbon storage. Take a look at this naturally-occurring process and its significant potential for climate mitigation.

TOUR DE FOREST

Forest Carbon Removal

Trees do it all: soak up emissions, reduce pollution, boost public health. Their protection and restoration are vital to climate progress and the subject of major policies.

BECCS TO BASICS

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS)

Plants, engineering, and carbontech all come together in this cross-cutting carbon removal solution, the poster child for negative emissions.

Geologic Carbon Storage

Stowing CO₂ deep underground is surprisingly common, both in nature and industry. Learn key definitions and considerations for its use with carbon capture and carbon removal.

more than waste

Carbontech

The market for products and services powered by captured carbon is huge, $1 trillion in the US alone. Explore the contours of today’s industry — the main players, brightest projects, and an ever-evolving federal policy landscape.
