A recent and brief journal article on #biochar for carbon removal that summarizes a lot very quickly? It's here! A great list of references and broad group of authors across disciplines and geographies: https://lnkd.in/gQMzQEr6
关于我们
We are on a mission to develop and scale groundbreaking technologies that regenerate our soils and sequester atmospheric carbon by the gigaton for the betterment of people and planet. Our technology leverages natural thermal processes and precision automation to convert crop residues into biochar, a stable form of carbon that builds soil health and stays out of the atmosphere permanently. By utilizing a mobile, in-field solution to convert field waste to biochar, we keep carbon where it matters most while dramatically cutting costs from the typical approach of shipping massive amounts of bulk material to and from centralized facilities.

We made the decision to rebrand from Climate Robotics to Applied Carbon to better align with our core proposition and mission. Wunderdogs helped bring our brand vision to reality and we couldn’t be happier with the results to date.
Rebranding for a Sustainable Future: Applied Carbon & Wunderdogs ?? Applied Carbon developed innovative mobile biochar technology to capture carbon and enrich soil, helping both farmers and corporate buyers fight climate change. They needed a refreshed brand to reflect their mission and attract a wider audience. Wunderdogs stepped in to help, creating a visual identity rooted in nature—earthy tones, bold imagery, and technical illustrations. We also designed a user-friendly website to clearly communicate how biochar works and its role in carbon management. The result? A brand that communicates innovation and sustainability, while connecting with both farmers and corporate buyers.

We continue to optimize our in-field biochar system in the north Texas corn fields. In the coming weeks we will be incorporating a biochar spreading modification to provide even field coverage while continuing to increase system throughput. By integrating a pyrolysis system directly into farm equipment, we produce the lowest applied cost for biochar by eliminating additional material handling and trucking, resulting in massive impact for broad acre agriculture and climate. Here is a teaser from an upcoming video we are making. #biochar #carbonremoval #farming #cdr #regenerativeag #soilhealth #cornstover #biomass

Thanks to the tireless work of our engineers and our operations team, we have deployed our Gen5 machine to process waste corn stover from the harvest in the Texas panhandle. Each day we are pushing throuput closer to the rated capacity while integrating biochar spreading and incorporation solutions to meet farmers needs. In the coming weeks, two additional machines will join this one to form the first operational fleet of mobile, on-the-fly biochar production machines in the world. By eliminating biomass and biochar transport, we are able to produce biochar at a cost that makes sense to broad acre agriculture AND large scale carbon removal buyers. #biochar #carbonremoval #cdr #regenerativeag #soilhealth

Another huge honor. Thank you to the The Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy at the University of Utah for supporting our work! https://lnkd.in/gWhexjRt
We are excited to announce the winner of the $500,000 Wilkes Climate Launch Prize is Applied Carbon! Applied Carbon, formerly known as Climate Robotics, has developed a mobile, in-field solution that picks up crop residue left after harvesting and converts it into biochar in a single pass. The resulting biochar product is deposited back onto the field, simultaneously increasing soil health, improving agronomic productivity, reducing lime and fertilizer requirements, and providing a durable carbon removal and storage solution. The 2024 Wilkes Climate Launch Prize is one of the largest university-affiliate climate awards in the world and is geared to spur innovation and breakthroughs from organizations at all stages, both for-profits and nonprofits—anywhere in the world—to help fund and accelerate solutions to climate change. Applied Carbon was selected from among seven finalists that presented their ideas at the Wilkes Climate Summit in May.?The finalists were evaluated by a team of expert judges for scalable impact, feasibility and potential for co-benefits for communities, economies or ecosystems.? https://lnkd.in/gWhexjRt

To reach meaningful scale for soil improvement and carbon removal, biochar production needs to make use of distributed agricultural biomass, like an opportunistic grazer on the open range. Cotton Gin Byproducts are one such material that we are hungry to process. Corn-Cotton rotations are popular here in the south and we can satisfy the hunger of our mobile fleet by making use of in-field corn stover (when available) and move on to cotton gins when done to keep our machines fed and our farmers happy. A recent article by Farm Progress highlighted some of our work on developing this opportunity. As Greg Holt, the research leader at the USDA-ARS Cotton Production and Processing Research Unit in Lubbock, Texas shared: “Applied Carbon is testing portable units to transport to cotton gin yards. A gin would not have to invest in a pyrolysis unit, which is not a small endeavor … they’d access it though something like a short term lease … The idea that something could pull on site, you don't own it, you're paying a fee for use, and growers benefit from the byproduct is compelling. Cotton growers get an added benefit from their own product.” For more information, please reach out to Tracey, our head of Agriculture. https://lnkd.in/gNrhReez #biochar #carbonremoval #cotton #cottonginbyproduct #soilhealth #climatetech

We are happy to be working with Autodesk Foundation to bring our design concepts into physical reality. Special thanks to Ryan M. Macpherson for your continued support on our mission to restore balance in our atmosphere and soils. #biochar #cdr #agtech #climatetech #soilhealth
Applied Carbon, part of our Energy & Materials portfolio, is scaling the production and use of biochar using cutting-edge robotics and automation. The startup's tractor-based pyrolysis system turns agricultural waste into biochar—a nutrient-rich substance that not only sinks carbon for thousands of years but also enhances soil health—transforming fields into carbon sequestration powerhouses without leaving the farm. ?? ?? Applied Carbon's technology offers an affordable, scalable #CarbonRemoval solution and boosts agricultural productivity. The potential? Removing over one gigaton of carbon emissions annually in the US alone! ?? #ClimateTech “To preserve people and planet, the world needs well-designed physical infrastructure that has never been built before.” – Dr. Morgan Williams, Co-Founder & COO, Applied Carbon Learn more about our investment in Applied Carbon ??

To make biochar at sustained billion ton per year scale, you have to use ag waste as a feedstock. To use ag waste as a feedstock, you have to use a pyrolyzer that operates like a piece of farm equipment. Thanks to Jennifer Marston and AgFunder for sharing our story about reinventing the pyrolyzer. #biochar #agtech #climatetech #CDR #carbon https://lnkd.in/g_UCHj5f
