A forestry residue becomes a durable removal
Recarbono runs the full removal lifecycle in one accountable chain — from the hillside to the registry. Here it is plainly first, then in full technical detail.

New to biochar?
Start with the material itself — what it is, the 2,000-year evidence, and why the carbon doesn't come back.
CarbonVision
The evidence, not the adjective
Most carbon software shows you a glowing network. Here is what ours actually does — and why the integrity of a removal is decided at the moment the data is captured, not at the moment it is audited.
The chain, end to end
Evidence cannot be reconstructed01 · Edge
Sensors on the reactor
Captured at the moment it happens — a reading not taken is gone forever.
02 · Gateway
Laboratory results, as data
Accredited results arrive structured, not as a PDF someone re-types.
03 · Ledger
Batch record, append-only
Nothing is edited after the fact. Corrections are new entries, and they show.
04 · Registry
Serialized, retired, public
The number a buyer holds traces back to the raw reading that produced it.

The measured loop
Every stage, instrumented
01 — Locate
AI biomass mapping
The chain of proof starts before the reactor. Drone survey, satellite imagery and AI models locate fire-risk residue and quantify it — volume, type, seasonality, accessibility — so feedstock is measured before a single tonne is collected. You cannot prove a counterfactual you never surveyed.
02 — Production
Pyrolysis
Fire-risk biomass heated without oxygen at 450–700 °C — it doesn't burn; the carbon locks into a stable solid.
03 — Sensing
IoT
Reactor sensors stream temperature, mass and moisture to a tamper-evident data lake.
04 — Analysis
Accredited labs
Every batch will be sampled and analysed by highly specialised accredited partner laboratories — the physical ground truth, flowing straight into our digital infrastructure.
05 — dMRV & Credits
CarbonVision
Sensor streams reconciled against lab analysis into a conservative net removal — issued to registry, traceable from feedstock to retirement.
The journey of a tonne
From a forestry residue to a durable removal
01 · Capture
01 · Capture
Fire-risk biomass becomes biochar
Forestry and agricultural residue — biomass that would otherwise burn — is converted by pyrolysis into stable, carbon-rich biochar.
02 · Measure
Permanence weighed in an accredited laboratory
Every batch will be sampled and analysed by our highly specialised accredited laboratory partners. Permanence is quantified directly from the material — measured, not modeled.
03 · Verify
Lab data flows straight into CarbonVision
No PDFs re-typed by hand. The CRCF-native platform assembles the audit trail and prepares the registry submission automatically.
04 · Lock
A durable, registry-issued removal credit
The result is a durable CO₂ removal credit — EBC-grounded, serialized, and issued on a public registry, traceable from feedstock to retirement.

Why it earns trust
When sensor and lab disagree, we round down
Conservative accounting costs a little headline volume and buys something far more valuable: credits an auditor can stand behind. Every figure is traceable to its raw record.
The infrastructure
What the chain physically runs on
Some of this is built, some is being built, and one piece is a partnership we have not announced. The status on each is stated, not implied.
Site 1 · physical
● In buildThe facility
Feedstock yard and the phase-1 production unit. Process heat is recovered into the loop; biochar leaves as product, carbon stays locked.
Partner labs · physical
● Accreditation pathAccredited analysis
We partner with highly specialised accredited laboratories and integrate them into our digital infrastructure — the chain of proof. R₀ petrography measures permanence directly from the material, and results land in CarbonVision as data, not PDFs.
In development · partnership
● In developmentCompute & co-location
With a datacenter development partner, we're co-locating our digital infrastructure with their capacity — while our energy and durable removals help address their carbon footprint. Partner named at announcement.
CarbonVision · digital
● In developmentThe data platform
Sensors on every reactor stream to a tamper-evident data lake; lab results arrive as data, not PDFs. And before the first sensor is installed, AI biomass mapping — satellite plus field data — locates the fire-risk feedstock worth building on.
