Loblolly Project

Graphyte’s Carbon Casting technology transforms biomass residues from the agriculture and timber industries into durable carbon removal. The Carbon Casting process involves drying and compressing biomass residues into stable ‘carbon blocks.’ These blocks are wrapped in a waterproof barrier designed to prevent carbon from re-entering the atmosphere for over 1,000 years. The blocks are then stored underground in an engineered chamber with a gas detection system that directly monitors for carbon dioxide and methane. The Loblolly Project in Pine Bluff, Arkansas is the first deployment of Graphyte’s Carbon Casting technology. The Project utilizes excess sawdust, bark, and rice hulls produced from local farmers and timber companies in Southeast Arkansas.
