Charm Industrial

At Charm Industrial, we’re charting a path to produce low-carbon iron—right here in America ???? Our new research demonstrates that the same bio-oil we know and love for carbon removal can be gasified and used to produce pure metallic iron without the need for fossil fuels While we're focused on carbon removal first and foremost, the opportunity to decarbonize heavy industry will have a multiplicative benefit for our climate Read more below ??

?????? ???????????????? ?????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????? ?????????????? ?????????????????? ???????? ???? 90% ???????? ?? ???????????????? ???????? Picture this: it’s a scorching August day in Kansas. You’ve spent months trying to whip a thick, sticky bio-oil into an injectable state. It’s flowing terribly like thick taffy, even in the heat. Breaking pump after pump. If you’ve ever tried to wrestle a greased-up walrus up a ramp you’ve got an idea of what our lives were like at Charm last summer. As we’ve scaled up operations, we’ve had to tackle the challenge of making bio-oil flow smoothly. We tested a range of solutions, from refining our manufacturing methods to experimenting with complex multi-pump setups at the wellhead. But the best solution turned out to be the simplest…the shortest…and the slippiest. Full story in the comments ????

This week, a 25% tariff went in place for all steel imports into the US American domestic iron production is ~50 million tonnes. We can produce *all of that* from 30 million tonnes of bio-oil...using excess biomass from US forest health and agricultural operations. Learn how the Charm Industrial team — led by Principal Scientist in Metallurgy Brian Jamieson — is forging a path to enable low-cost US domestic green steel in the decades to come????

A beautiful evening beneath the Colorado stars ? alongside the Charm carbon removal fleet ?? Thanks to everyone who came out last night to learn about carbon removal at our second annual Charm Industrial Colorado Open House last night. We love giving factory tours so let us know when you want to swing by (tour link in comments ??)

?????????????? ????.??: ?????????? ???????????????? In 2024, the Charm Industrial began a rapid buildout of the Charm Colorado carbon removal facility Charm Colorado now employs 100+ teammates on a mission to re-build America's industrial & manufacturing capabilities while restoring Earth's climate Come see the facility scale up from an empty site to one of the largest carbon removal facilities in America

"we're gonna need a bigger truck..." We set a new record last week with 111mT of bio-oil injected to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere. 2025 off to a strong start!

Today we’re announcing an expanded partnership between Charm Industrial & Google, which leverages Charm’s co-production of bio-oil & biochar. Read more in our post here:? https://lnkd.in/dnQK8fVH

?? 100,000+ (????????-????????????) ???????????????? ???????? ?? A new report from Rhodium Group and Carbon Removal Alliance has found that employment associated with highly durable CDR will total between 95-130k jobs per year at 100 MMT of annual capture capacity We're in the early innings of scaling carbon removal, and it's going to take many hands to unlock its potential We are doing our part at Charm Industrial, hiring across the US in Colorado & Kansas...and we're just getting started ??

I'd just gotten home from a day in the field when I got a call from our injection operations manager: frigid Kansas winter temperatures had chilled and phase separated bio-oil sitting in storage tanks. All bets were off as to whether we could warm it up and re-homogenize, or if we were going to have a 20 tonne block of solid carbon. It's been a fun year of... interesting challenges and major milestones. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/g3hqaW8S

I’m excited to share news from Wren’s project partner,?Charm Industrial. ?? Carbon removal is critical for combating the climate crisis, yet we’ve achieved less than 0.13% of CDR.fyi’s target of removing 10 billion tonnes of carbon globally by 2050. ?? That’s why we're proud to support industry leaders like Charm Industrial, which converts?biomass residuals—such as material from wildfire thinning—into carbon-rich bio-oil and injects it deep underground for secure carbon storage. ?? The Wren community has raised over $120,000 for Charm Industrial, in subscriber contributions and a donation match campaign, to help fund its operations, and we've raised over $2.9 million for permanent carbon removal initiatives in total. ?? At Wren, we conducted extensive due diligence on Charm Industrial (with invaluable insight provided by Myron Lam back in 2023 ?? ) and were confident in its impact. But, we’re thrilled that Charm recently earned an ‘A’ rating from BeZero Carbon,?a significant milestone in building trust in the voluntary carbon market. ???? Another key milestone is the delivery of Charm Industrial’s first-ever Isometric-verified carbon credits. Isometric?set the requirements for Charm Industrial's process with their Bio-oil Protocol, conducted monitoring, reporting, and verification, and issued credits corresponding to?the total carbon removal. ?? Carbon removal initiatives often have long lead times, with credit delivery taking several years. That’s why we’re excited that Charm Industrial has already delivered credits equivalent to more than 100 tonnes of carbon removal. ?? At Wren, we're looking forward to seeing what’s next for this carbon removal innovator. #CarbonRemoval #Sustainability #Pyrolysis #CarbonCredits
