Summary
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.
How carbon is being removed
Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) involves storing carbon present in biomass, which is organic material originating from living or recently living organisms. Examples of products stored are biomass in its original form, dried biomass, or products produced from biomass such as bio-oil or bio-char.
