COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE.
The problem with CO2
The good news: In summer atmospheric CO2 in the northern hemisphere is reduced despite anthropogenic CO2 emissions of 50 Gt/a.
The bad news: In winter atmospheric CO2 levels increase.
- If we prevented the re-release of CO2 from biomass in winter, we could stop this increase today.
- Our plants stabilize* and concentrate >30% biogenic CO2 as biochar (in addition to providing renewable energy).
- If we consistently scale up this technology, we can combat climate change.

High quality raw material
Inertinite
- Inertinite is carbon found in the lithosphere of earth’s crust.
- It has been derived from biomass over ages and describes carbon at its most stable form.
- Organic geochemists determine the maturity (inertness) of organic carbon by measuring its reflectance (more reflective = more structured/aromatic = more inert). At a reflectance of 2%, organic carbon is considered chemically inert (geologically stable).
- With an average reflectance of almost 4%, SYNCRAFT generated biochar is among the most stable forms of carbon currently existing.
