Founded in Australia in 2005, the Fasera Group is a leader in sustainable agricultural carbon sequestration through our managed estates of Australian oil mallees and other eucalypt species to produce:
• Eucalyptus oil
• Carbon Dioxide Removal Certificates (CORCs) & Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs)
• Biochar;
• Wood vinegar (a natural herbicide and bio-stimulant).
Our plantations include thousands of hectares of mature mallee trees. Historically, these were difficult and costly to harvest using traditional forestry methods. Fasera has invested in innovative new harvest techniques and equipment, enabling us to harvest mature mallees much more cost-effectively and significantly increasing our oil mallee resources.
The development of coppice regrowth – the increased regrowth of mallee tree biomass after each harvest - has been established as most effective for long term carbon sequestration.
Shearing the trunk at ground level, encourages coppice regrowth leading to increased biomass growth, generating an unending cycle of increasing harvests. This process also results in considerably higher levels of carbon sequestration than if individual trees were left to mature, where carbon retention capacity peaks and then stabilises.
The expansion of Fasera’s mallee oil processing facility and product range continued with the commissioning of a continuous pyrolysis plant in 2022. The plant is co-located with our oil distillery; it processes the spent mallee biomass remaining after the steam distillation to produce eucalyptus oil. At capacity, it will pyrolyse up to 5,000 tonnes of spent biomass to produce about 5,000 m3 of biochar per annum. The heat from the process is recycled and used in the steam distillation process.
The biochar produced is distributed locally as a soil amendment and in ingredient in ruminant animal feed.
Fasera has just completed filling and sealing our first Terrestrial Storage of Biomass chamber on our Canterbury Farm, Kulja, Western Australia. This chamber will generate CORCs under the PURO methodology and is the first chamber at site with the potential to generate 100,000 CORCs.

In January 2020, a wildfire in Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island broke containment lines, burning more than 210,000 hectares. The fire devastated the island and damaged approximately 14,000 hectares of FSC-certified forestry plantation.
This climate-related disaster resulted in approximately 4.5 million tonnes of burnt timber, which is no longer suitable for typical timber markets. The fire destroyed the canopy, leaving the outer layer of the trunks charred while the core remained mostly unburnt.
If this wood were to be combusted or left to decay on-site, it would release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The standing burnt timber presents a fire and biodiversity risk and is being cleared.
The default approach for managing the fire-damaged timber on Kangaroo Island has been open combustion. The Kangaroo Island Biochar Project proposes to convert the fire-damaged wood into biochar.
By producing biochar, the project will generate carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits and demonstrate tangible climate benefits. Without the carbon finance from CDR, the project would not be economically feasible. The biochar produced will be utilized in various sectors, including agriculture and construction, catalyzing the biochar industry in Australia with the first commercial quantities of biochar available in the market.
The project owner Re-Vi Group has engaged Biocare Projects to deliver this important and ambitious project. The Biocare team combines expertise in decarbonization, diffusion of cleantech innovations, agriculture, carbon advisory, pyrolysis engineering, chemistry, and biochar end-use, as well as project development. Biocare has developed its own technology stack that is both cost-effective and highly efficient at producing biochar with durable CDR characteristics.
The core of the system is a slow pyrolysis double-layer rotating drum unit designed to deliver precise thermal control of between 550–700°C. It adheres to stringent safety protocols and the Puro.earth CDR biochar methodology. Biocare’s modular design is tailored for large projects, semi-mobile, and scalable to different sizes, with the system installed on Kangaroo Island capable of processing up to 40 tonnes of feedstock per hour.
In partnership, Re-Vi Group and Biocare are investing heavily in the systems and processes required to scale CDR markets, drive meaningful climate action and support the recovery of one of Australia’s most unique destinations.

Project Overview:
Woocache PBC has launched a pioneering pilot project for carbon dioxide removal located just outside of La Veta, Colorado. This project employs an innovative terrestrial biomass storage methodology, which involves burying high-hazard liability biomass to prevent it from decomposing rapidly and releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. This biomass is collected as part of wildfire mitigation operations, which play a crucial role in reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires in the region.
Biomass Collection and Utilization:
The biomass used in this project primarily consists of waste from wildfire mitigation efforts, including slash piles that would have otherwise been burned during the winter months. These slash piles, composed of branches, twigs, and other wood debris, represent a significant source of carbon emissions when burned. By intercepting this biomass and burying it instead, Woocache effectively traps the carbon in a solid state, preventing its release into the atmosphere.
Ideal Conditions for Carbon Preservation:
The site near La Veta is particularly well-suited for preserving carbon within the buried wood. The cold, dry climate of Colorado significantly impedes the activity of organisms that typically break down wood. The reduced temperature and low moisture levels create an inhospitable environment for these decomposers, thereby slowing the decomposition process from years to centuries. Additionally, the clay content in the soil further aids in this process by reducing oxygen levels, which are essential for the organisms that consume wood. This combination of factors ensures that the buried biomass remains stable for extended periods, effectively removing carbon dioxide.
Private Land Operations:
The wood utilized in this project was harvested from private land, and the burial also took place on private property. The landowners were compensated for both the source material and the burial site, creating a mutually beneficial arrangement. This compensation model not only incentivizes landowners to participate in such carbon removal efforts but also supports local economies.
Local Employment and Services:
All labor for this project was sourced from local individuals and services, providing employment opportunities and supporting the local community. By engaging local workers and businesses, Woocache ensures that the benefits of the project extend beyond environmental gains, fostering economic growth and resilience within the region.
Economically, the project boosts rural employment by creating a supply chain for the removal and burial of high-hazard liability biomass. This not only supports local labor markets but also fosters the development of new skills and industries related to carbon dioxide removal and environmental management.
Site Monitoring and Restoration:
After the biomass burial operation is completed, the land is returned to its initial use. This ensures that the land can continue to support local activities and ecosystems. To ensure the effectiveness and stability of our carbon sequestration efforts, we are monitoring the site with our second-generation instruments. These instruments are strategically placed within the wood chambers, on the surface above the chambers, and in the air over the chambers. This comprehensive monitoring system allows us to track the condition of the buried biomass and the surrounding environment, ensuring that our carbon removal process is functioning as intended and making adjustments as necessary.
Woocache's pilot project near La Veta, Colorado, stands as a testament to the potential of innovative carbon removal methodologies. By leveraging local resources, engaging with private landowners, and creating economic opportunities within the community, Woocache is setting a precedent for sustainable and scalable carbon dioxide removal projects. As the company continues to grow and refine its approach, it holds promise for making substantial contributions to climate change mitigation and wildfire risk reduction, benefiting both the environment and local communities.

The Wonderful Company is the world’s largest grower of tree nuts and America’s largest citrus grower. Wonderful Renewable Solutions (WRS) works across Wonderful’s portfolio of business operations to identify, incubate, and scale sustainable ventures.
Our 2025 Blackwell’s Corner Project will securely store carbon in the form of wood for at least 100 years by burying it under dry conditions to prevent decomposition. The project will be sited in California on Wonderful-owned land using wood from Wonderful-owned orchards, and will deliver 20,000 tons of high-quality carbon removals.
How it works:
Orchard trees from Wonderful’s farming operations are chipped at end of their agronomic lifecycle. Those dry chips are then transported to the adjacent burial site and deposited into engineered excavated chambers that are designed to prevent water from entering, therefore inhibiting decomposition. Extensive monitoring equipment is installed in each chamber for long-term supervision. Once the chambers are sealed, native vegetation is planted on top to increase biodiversity and further protect the wood from water infiltration.
The Blackwell’s Corner project is the first terrestrial storage of biomass (TSB) project to pass Puro’s Preliminary Assessment. The preliminary assessment report will be posted on this page shortly.
Why Wonderful?

ZeroEx stands for delivering highest quality carbon removal projects with a high aspiration for scientific integrity and supporting communities – the reason why we as a company focus exclusively on launching enhanced weathering projects set-up locally within the strictest regulatory frameworks in Germany and Central Europe.
The concept of enhanced weathering accelerates the natural weathering process of silicate rocks by spreading smaller fractions of rock, derived as a by-product from quarrying operations, on agricultural land, sequestering carbon in the process and geologically storing with a permanence of over 1,000+ years.
Enhanced weathering does not only help combat climate change by removing carbon from the atmosphere, but also delivers numerous co-benefits such as the natural remineralization of soils and the substitution of otherwise carbon intensive agricultural lime, deacidifying soils in the process. In consequence, farmers benefit both from resulting yield increases at no cost and financially– by spreading the rock only in direct vicinity of quarries in rural regions, ZeroEx directly supports local communities. By limiting the radius of operations to an average of 25km around the feedstock source, ZeroEx is able to work with a maximum efficiency while keeping project emissions low.
ZeroEx is the first operational project developer in Germany and deployed 12,000 tons of rock powder in a first pilot phase in 2023 focused on data generation using different feedstocks in five different regions of Germany. By continuously exploring high-quality feedstock sources and setting up a network of local collaborators for e.g. logistics and laboratory capacities, ZeroEx has secured potential for significant expansion over the next years.
By adapting latest protocols for MRV as well as planning research projects with proprietary MRV devices to contribute to the scientific community ZeroEx sets science first and allows for fast scaling of the method without any compromise on quality.

Biomass Projects is developing the world’s largest Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Biomass Projects is partnering with the Traditional Owners through Wirrawandi Aboriginal Corporation which represents the Mardudhunera and Yaburara peoples on whose land this project will operate. The project will rehabilitate the landscape covered by the Mesquite to the native grasslands that existed prior to the infestation. Biomass Projects and Wirrawandi have secured a 15 year (plus extension options) sub-lease over Mardie Station, in order to deliver this significant carbon capture and land rehabilitation project.
At full production the Mardie Char facility will generate in excess of 500,000 CO2 removal credits (CORCs) per annum.
The feedstock for the Mardie Char project is a woody weed called Mesquite, which is a declared Weed of National Significance, and is the largest, and densest infestation of this weed in Australia. The infestation now covers more than 150,000 hectares of the 225,000-hectare pastoral lease. In the core infestation, the Mesquite now makes up more than 90% of the total biomass. Originally planted in 1926 for shade for the shearing crews on the property, the original 2 trees were considered ornamental plants and did not have the spikes for which the infestation now has a reputation.
In 1937, one of the two trees on the property was ringbarked by one of the children that lived on the station, who had been given a Tomahawk for Christmas. The remaining tree then morphed into a variety found nowhere else in the world, grew spikes that pose a significant danger to human and animals alike, and, with the seed pods highly palatable and high in protein, spread across the property mostly after the mid 1940’s.
By 2003, the infestation covered 150,000 hectares and was considered by the Western Australian State Government as “beyond eradication.” As such, the entire property was sacrificed to the Mesquite infestation, with the exception of a 1km wide ‘control and eradication zone’ on the boundary to prevent its spread. That did not work. The Mesquite now covers some 300,000 hectares in the immediate regions across 5 additional pastoral station properties, with the core infestation now the largest in Australia.
The Mesquite has decimated the local environment, destroying habitat for indigenous Flora and Fauna and has been able to do this due to some very particular traits:
1. The seed pod from the Mesquite has been a traditional food source for the Indigenous peoples of central America where it originates and is the local context, the seed pod is eaten by sheep and cattle that have been traditionally grazed on the property, as well as introduced herbivores such as camels and donkeys but also by native animals such as dingoes, emus, birds and marsupials.
2. The tree has a deep tap root that can access groundwater where it has in fact lowered the localized water table by 3 meters across the core infestation, depriving the environment of billions of litres of groundwater that local creeks and river pools are reliant on to keep the pools full in the late dry season.
3. Mesquite is also considered allelopathic in that the tree actively reduces the growth of other native plants thereby reducing competition and is likely the reason in the core infestation it makes up more than 90% of the total biomass, to the exclusion of almost all other plants other than large eucalypts that likely existed prior to the infestation which really took hold in the 1950’s.
4. Even though the original species deliberately planted on the property in 1926 did not have spikes, the mesquite has since morphed into its own variety found nowhere else on earth and has grown back the spikes on the branches which can reach up to 10 centimetres and pose a very real danger to human and livestock health from puncture wounds. In fact, the area is only able to be traversed on graded tracks as the spikes can puncture the tyres of even large earth moving equipment.
The Mardie Project aims to rehabilitate the environment back to the traditional open and lightly timbered grasslands that existed prior to the introduction of the Mesquite and, through our partnership with our Indigenous partners, manage the property to prevent the weed returning.
Biomass Projects, supported by its engineering partner, will convert the Mesquite biomass to char using purpose-built, high volume modern pyrolysis equipment. By owning both the feedstock (the Mesquite) and the Mardie Station lease, Biomass Projects controls the supply chain. Char produced from the facility to be constructed on Mardie will be distributed on the 225,000ha property. This reduces supply chain risk and minimises transport mileage. All activities (biomass harvest, processing and char returning to the soil) will be conducted on property.
This project presents a sustainable carbon removal opportunity which meets multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including Climate Action, Reduced Inequalities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Life Below Water, Life on Land, and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure goals. In partnering with local First Nations members to secure the lease, manage and rehabilitate the land, Biomass Projects will not only make a substantial contribution to carbon reduction goals, but is facilitating and fostering strong social and environmental rehabilitation outcomes.

In March 2023 we at Exomad Green launched our first biochar facility in Concepción, Bolivia. We expect to scale up our operations significantly during 2024. Together, these facilities will leverage the power of biochar to sequester up to 200,000 tons of CO2 annually. But our vision goes beyond environmental impact. Exomad Green is about creating a better, more sustainable world for everyone. We're striving to improve the quality of life for over 250,000 regional inhabitants, generate green jobs, foster local economic growth, and champion environmental justice across the region. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey, turning residues into wealth and cultivating a more sustainable future.
Our process begins at the source with the collection of biomass residues from local sawmills, providing us with an abundant, renewable source of biomass. The biomass is then transported to our state-of-the-art pyrolysis plant, where it undergoes a meticulous sorting and pre-treatment process that includes pre-drying and grinding, using energy-efficient machinery.
The biomass is then subjected to pyrolysis at approximately 600 degrees Celsius, during which the carbon in the biomass is trapped, preventing it from being released as carbon dioxide. This results in the production of biochar, a rich carbon product with a unique honeycomb-like structure, ideal for soil enhancement. The biochar we produce improves soil fertility by increasing its capacity to retain water and nutrients, enhancing microbial activity, regulating soil pH, and aiding in soil remediation by absorbing toxins and heavy metals. We then donate our biochar to local indigenous communities, empowering them to enhance their agricultural yields. By doing so, we not only support their livelihoods but also actively contribute to reducing deforestation, ensuring the preservation and sustainable use of our invaluable South American forests.
But the benefits of our project do not stop at soil improvement for the local communities. Exomad Green is committed to exceeding environmental standards. We adhere strictly to local and national regulations and have implemented a water treatment plan, enabling us to recycle and reuse water within the plant. We also employ a system for the effective capture and utilization of bio-oil and syngas by-products of the pyrolysis process, further minimizing our environmental footprint. By leveraging the pyrolysis process, we ensure that more than 70% of the heat generated is reused, further boosting our energy efficiency. The syngas produced during pyrolysis is also captured and used as a source of energy within the plant, reducing our reliance on external energy sources.
Through our operations, we not only reduce air pollution and fire risks associated with the improper disposal or incineration of biomass residues but also aim to improve air quality for around 250,000 people. We're proud to be contributing to an environmentally friendly solution that simultaneously improves community health. In terms of social impact, we are currently creating green tech jobs for the community, with approximately 50 direct and 200 indirect employments. But we aim to triple this numbers by 2025. We comply with all local and national regulations regarding insurance and social benefits for our employees, providing dignified, sustainable employment.
Exomad Green's Sustainable Biochar Project is a shining example of a circular economy model that addresses multiple environmental challenges. The project embodies the true essence of sustainability, combining economic viability with environmental responsibility and social equity.
Examples of usage info
Biochar, a product of pyrolysis, has the ability to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) because of the nature of its production process and the properties of the resulting material. Here's how the sequestered CO2 in biochar is used or stored:
Carbon Capture during Production: During the pyrolysis process, organic matter is heated in an oxygen-limited environment. This prevents the full decomposition of the organic matter into CO2 and other gases. Instead, a significant portion of the carbon in the biomass is retained in a stable form within the biochar.
Stable Carbon Structure: Biochar is mostly composed of carbon in a very stable form. This means that it doesn't easily decompose or oxidize to release CO2 back into the atmosphere. As a result, when biochar is applied to soil, the carbon it contains remains sequestered in that stable form for a very long time—potentially hundreds to thousands of years.
Soil Application: When biochar is incorporated into the soil, it essentially locks away the carbon it contains. In other words, the carbon in the biochar is removed from the short-term carbon cycle because it won't be quickly returned to the atmosphere as CO2.
Enhancement of Soil Carbon Storage: Biochar addition to soils can also indirectly lead to increased soil organic carbon levels by promoting the microbial processes that incorporate CO2 from the atmosphere into soil organic matter.
Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: In addition to its carbon storage capabilities, biochar has been found to reduce the emissions of other greenhouse gases from soil, notably nitrous oxide (N2O). It can do this by influencing soil microbial processes.
Displacement of Fossil Fuel Carbon: The pyrolysis process that produces biochar also generates bio-oil and syngas, both of which can be used as energy sources. By utilizing these renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels, there's a reduction in the net CO2 added to the atmosphere.
In essence, the CO2 sequestered in biochar isn't "used" in the way we think of fuel being used. Instead, the carbon is stabilized in a form that resists decomposition, preventing its release as CO2 and thereby serving as a form of carbon storage.

Sonnenerde is a true pioneer in biochar production with over a decade of experience. Back in 2012 it was the first company to operate a biochar production plant in Europe approved under the EU waste law regulations. Since then, Sonnenerde has been successfully producing biochar of the highest quality. From the very beginning, the company has continuously invested in research and development in order to find useful areas of application for biochar.
Sonnenerde now offers a wide range of ready-to-use biochar-based products. This clearly distinguishes the company from other market players who only sell biochar as a raw material.
Valuing the responsible use of natural resources, Sonnenerde exclusively uses biogenic waste, such as grain husks, sunflower shells and pulp mud, as raw material for biochar production.
The Pyreg 500 pyrolysis plant is designed to be extremely sustainable. Its electricity requirements are completely covered by an on-site photovoltaic system. Pyrolysis gases are recovered, cleaned via a flue gas scrubber, and converted into heat, which is then used to dry the feedstock and to heat the company buildings.
The Pyreg 500 pyrolysis plant has an annual production capacity of 120 tons of biochar per year.

ECOERA is a Swedish biochar innovation company awarded the WWF Climate Solver company label.
They have been in the biochar field for over ten years and in 2009 created Sweden’s first large-scale biochar carbon removal in agricultural fields. They were part of developing the Biochar Carbon Offset Methodology and specifically the Biochar Carbon Stability Test Method under the International Biochar Initiative.
The biochar is produced from residue biomass streams from agricultural seed production. Residues that would otherwise be wasted or decompose.
The Ecoera mission is to be part of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at an industrial capacity, with the aim to reach pre-industrial levels of 350 ppm CO2 before the end of the century, while making the agricultural land fertile enough to feed 10 billion people on this planet.
How it works
The pyrolysis process is a way to condense the CO2 from the biomass and stabilize it into biochar for hundreds to thousands of years. The carbon stability in the biochar is 3rd party verified through being compliant with the standards of the European Biochar Certificate (EBC) and the Puro.earth Biochar methodology. The facility in Hammenhög, the foundation for ECOERA Millennium 1 is producing EBC certified biochar and the heat generated is supplied to a district heating grid.
The system is possible to be replicated at many new sites. The carbon removal purchases enable and accelerate their work to establish a new biochar production site and support sustainable agriculture using biochar as a soil amendment.
The location for the biochar production system is 55.506702, 14.154831.
