We remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Right here. Right now.

We take CO₂ and create sustainable products from that carbon.

Because the climate
can’t wait.

Without permanent carbon removal, global efforts to mitigate climate change are in vain. But most carbon removal solutions just don’t work quick enough.

Our technical CDR solutions are taking effect today. Not some time in the distant future.

Because we can scale
anywhere.

Our process is not limited by geographics or scarce storage and transportation options for CO₂.

Our solution works at any location.
We don’t dispose CO₂, we put the carbon to use. We turn it into solid, easy handable products.

The technology

The technology we use is called Pyrogenic Carbon Capture and Storage, in short: PyCCS. A smart combination of nature and engineering that transforms CO₂ from biogenic residues into regenerative energy and biochar = mainly elemental carbon. Thus carbon is locked for thousands of years.

How to become active

Why Novocarbo?

Leading the biochar market for many years Novocarbo is uniquely positioned to drive the carbon removal market. With the longstanding experience in biochar production and application we have a proven track record of carbon sink’s permanence and safety. Having established one of Europes largest distribution networks since 2018, we enable and can ensure successful CDR.

What we do with biochar

Plain de Plainpalais

Plaine de Plainpalais, Geneva

In 2018 Swiss Terra Preta was used to replant the city trees of this central park. The main goal of the blue-green infrastructure project is to protect the lake Geneva – the biochar substrates from our subsidiary Swiss Biochar proved to effectively filter the stormwater pollutants.

Improving concrete footprint

We work with different companies and universities to push the application of biochar in concrete. Concrete makes up about 8% of the world's CO₂ emissions. Biochar substitutes cement and improves product features.

Beiselen

Regenerative agriculture

We are happy to have established a partnership with the leading agricultural trade company in Germany and Austria. This partnership and the network of Beiselen has helped us to make a true impact to push regenerative agriculture.

Our Carbon Credits

The company was one of the pioneers authorized to trade CO₂ Removal Credits through Carbonfuture in early 2019 and trade CORCs on the Puro.earth trading platform. Since then, the company has become an integral part of the carbon removal market, which is also why we were part of the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) committee that was put together to establish the first ever Verra biochar methodology in 2022.
