Applied Carbon

Thanks to the tireless work of our engineers and our operations team, we have deployed our Gen5 machine to process waste corn stover from the harvest in the Texas panhandle. Each day we are pushing throuput closer to the rated capacity while integrating biochar spreading and incorporation solutions to meet farmers needs. In the coming weeks, two additional machines will join this one to form the first operational fleet of mobile, on-the-fly biochar production machines in the world. By eliminating biomass and biochar transport, we are able to produce biochar at a cost that makes sense to broad acre agriculture AND large scale carbon removal buyers. #biochar #carbonremoval #cdr #regenerativeag #soilhealth

Another huge honor. Thank you to the The Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy at the University of Utah for supporting our work! https://lnkd.in/gWhexjRt

We are honored to be included in this inspiring cohort of companies focused on scaling climate solutions.

To reach meaningful scale for soil improvement and carbon removal, biochar production needs to make use of distributed agricultural biomass, like an opportunistic grazer on the open range. Cotton Gin Byproducts are one such material that we are hungry to process. Corn-Cotton rotations are popular here in the south and we can satisfy the hunger of our mobile fleet by making use of in-field corn stover (when available) and move on to cotton gins when done to keep our machines fed and our farmers happy. A recent article by Farm Progress highlighted some of our work on developing this opportunity. As Greg Holt, the research leader at the USDA-ARS Cotton Production and Processing Research Unit in Lubbock, Texas shared: “Applied Carbon is testing portable units to transport to cotton gin yards. A gin would not have to invest in a pyrolysis unit, which is not a small endeavor … they’d access it though something like a short term lease … The idea that something could pull on site, you don't own it, you're paying a fee for use, and growers benefit from the byproduct is compelling. Cotton growers get an added benefit from their own product.” For more information, please reach out to Tracey, our head of Agriculture. https://lnkd.in/gNrhReez #biochar #carbonremoval #cotton #cottonginbyproduct #soilhealth #climatetech

Exciting news in the world of sustainability and technology! 🌍💡 Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund is proud to announce an investment in Applied Carbon. Their innovative approach works in the field, transforming crop waste into biochar, enhancing soil health and providing durable carbon storage. Excited to see the positive impact this will have on sustainable agriculture!🌱 Kudos to Jason Aramburu and the Applied Carbon team driving this groundbreaking work.

We are happy to be working with Autodesk Foundation to bring our design concepts into physical reality. Special thanks to Ryan M. Macpherson for your continued support on our mission to restore balance in our atmosphere and soils. #biochar #cdr #agtech #climatetech #soilhealth

To make biochar at sustained billion ton per year scale, you have to use ag waste as a feedstock. To use ag waste as a feedstock, you have to use a pyrolyzer that operates like a piece of farm equipment. Thanks to Jennifer Marston and AgFunder for sharing our story about reinventing the pyrolyzer. #biochar #agtech #climatetech #CDR #carbon https://lnkd.in/g_UCHj5f

Another great story about our path to #CDR scale with #soilhealth benefit. Thanks to Adele Peters and Fast Company for this story highlighting our work with farmers to fight climate change. https://lnkd.in/g-_8PdJp #biochar #agtech #climatetech #texas

"Tractor Driven Carbon Removal" is the Axios BFD of the Day. Thanks to Alan Neuhauser for highlighting our work. https://lnkd.in/gvYCdarD

Up to one-third of excess CO2 that has accumulated in the atmosphere since the start of human civilization has come from humans disturbing soil through agriculture. To reach our net-zero objectives, we need to put that carbon back where it belongs. Biochar is unique in its potential to do so at a permanence and price point that are conducive to mass-scale adoption of carbon dioxide removal solutions, while also leaving farmers and consumers better off thanks to better soil health and nutrition. Thanks to its technology and business model, Applied Carbon is the only company that turns that potential into reality. Huge congratulations to Jason Aramburu, Morgan Williams and the Applied Carbon team on this announcement, we are proud to partner with you.
