Carbon Credits FAQs
What is biochar?
Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material, such as agricultural residues, forestry by-products, or other biomass, in a low-oxygen environment. It’s characterized by its porous structure, which enhances its ability to retain water and nutrients.
How is biochar generated?
Biochar is generated through processes called pyrolysis and gasification, which involve the thermal decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen.
How does the CUGR generate biochar?
The CUGR (Carbon United Gasification Reactor) is an innovative mobile gasification reactor that is compact in size, but capable of processing a high volume of biomass in a remarkably short period of time.
What is Carbon United’s role in carbon sequestration?
How does Carbon United use biochar?
Some of the main uses for this biochar include soil amendments and green cement.
How does biochar convert to carbon credits?
Every ton of CO2 that Carbon United prevents from releasing back into the atmosphere generates carbon credit, which organizations can then purchase to offset their carbon footprint.
