Summary

Carba is pyrolyzing woody biomass into stable biochar and applying it as a soil amendment to daily cover over landfill waste for permanent carbon removal and co-benefits. The project is conducted in collaboration with the Burnsville Sanitary Landfill (BSL), a landfill operator, in Burnsville, MN. This project will receive feedstock from SETMN, an organic waste facility, and Asplundh who will supply tree trimmings from utility corridor management.

How carbon is being removed

Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) involves storing the carbon contained in waste biomass—organic material from living or recently living organisms. BiCRS works by halting or slowing the decomposition of biomass, enabling the carbon it contains to be stored long-term. This can be achieved by converting biomass into materials that decompose more slowly—such as biochar or bio-oil—or by storing it in environments where decomposition is slowed. For BiCRS to count as carbon removal, the biomass must be replenished to ensure additional carbon dioxide is drawn from the atmosphere.
