Down to Earth Climate Tech

We are a biochar carbon removal company located in Finland

Our Approach

Together with our partners, we integrate pyrolysis where sidestreams are generated to produce biochar, carbon removal, and energy. By establishing industrial ecosystems we can achieve mutual environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Who Are We?

Our international team consists of researchers, engineers, and business experts. In addition to the industrial operations, we are an active R&D partner. With our pilot-scale pyrolysis reactors, we can make proof-of-concept studies on new biomass feedstocks and develop biochar for value-added applications.
