Canadian Biochar Investments Inc. (CBCI)
From waste to value. CBCI develops and operates modular biochar facilities that convert wood residues and other suitable biomass into premium biochar, high‑integrity carbon‑removal credits, and carbon‑negative heat.
About CBCI
CBCI is introducing and operating our German partner’s modular pyrolysis systems in Canada—turning clean wood residues into premium biochar, verified carbon‑removal credits, and carbon‑negative heat.
Mission Commercialize carbon‑negative pyrolysis plants in Canada that generate premium biochar; monetize verified carbon‑removal credits on a B2B basis; and market the renewable excess heat generated by operations.
The challenge we address
-
Forest health & waste‑to‑value: reduce problem biomass and create useful products.
-
Practical decarbonization: integrate carbon‑negative heat to displace fossil thermal loads.
-
Canadian focus: built for local feedstocks, climates, and regulatory expectations.
Our Solutions
Practical decarbonization with multiple outputs.
Biochar Supply
Consistent, specification‑driven material for agriculture, remediation, filtration, and materials.
Carbon‑Removal Credits
Durable removals from biochar carbon storage with transparent MRV and registry issuance.
On‑Site Systems
Host a modular unit to convert suitable biomass on your site.
Carbon‑Negative Heat
Hot water/process heat for industrial processes, greenhouses, and district loops. Power generation Via CHP or ORC Unit.
BIOCHAR SUPPLY
Consistent, application‑ready biochar.
Produced to meet target ranges for agronomic, filtration, remediation, and materials applications. We align process parameters and QA/QC with your specification needs.
Use Cases:
- Soil & horticulture: water retention, nutrient holding, structure.
- Filtration & remediation: adsorption of organics and nutrients.
- Materials & construction: performance additive for concretes, composites, and lightweight fillers.
Quality & Assurance:
-
Documented characteristics, including carbon content, surface area, and moisture/particle size ranges.
-
Low contaminants; responsible sourcing and handling.
-
Technical data sheets available upon request.
ON‑SITE SYSTEMS
Waste‑to‑value at your facility with Turn Key Solutions.
Deploy a modular unit on site to convert suitable biomass into valuable products and carbon‑negative heat. CBCI manages:
-
EOR & Code compliance with provincial P.Eng.
-
Permitting/regulatory (air/noise, building/electrical, fire code).
-
Site prep & civils (pads, trenching, drainage, access).
-
BoP integration (electrical/thermal tie-ins, controls interfacing).
-
Feedstock handling (hopper, conveyors, dust control).
-
LCA & carbon credits setup (if requiered); operator training beyond OEM.
-
Commissioning coordination with your team.
Typical Requirements
- Steady supply of suitable biomass
- Space for a compact modular unit
- Utility connections for heat integration
- Standard permitting and safety compliance
Delivery Model
CBCI leads site screening, engineering, installation, O&M, and performance monitoring. Biochar and credits can be offtaken by CBCI or the host—depending on structure.
CARBON‑REMOVAL CREDITS
High‑integrity removals, documented and traceable.
CBCI stabilizes biogenic carbon in long‑lived biochar. Net removals are quantified using conservative system boundaries and transparent monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV).
What you receive
- Documentation package covering project scope, data sources, and verification.
- Issuance and retirement support on established registries.
- Options for spot, forward, or portfolio purchasing to align with sustainability targets.
TECHNOLOGY
Nature + Technology
An advanced, oxygen‑limited thermal conversion process produces a stable carbon product (biochar) and clean, recoverable heat. Automated controls and remote monitoring support consistent operations.
One of the key advantages of this technology compared to others on the market is its reliability of the system’s output, and it continues run time. (7500+hr/year)
Process Snapshot
- Feedstock Preparation — chipping biomass, screened and sized.
- Thermal Conversion — high‑temperature carbonisation in an oxygen‑limited, auto‑thermic environment.
- Energy Recovery — useful heat captured for process or district integration.
- Product Handling — biochar QA/QC and logistics.
- MRV — operational data supports carbon accounting and credit issuance.
Safety & Environment
-
Independently tested emissions profiles available upon request.
-
Standard permitting and fire‑safety practices.
-
Documented operating procedures and monitoring.

FAQs
What feedstocks work best?
Clean wood residues are ideal. The suitability of other lignocellulosic materials is confirmed during feasibility. The system can handle over 60 different forms of solid organic materials
How are carbon‑removal credits generated?
Credits reflect net removals from biochar carbon storage and are issued through established registries with clear MRV.
What are typical host‑site needs?
Steady feedstock, a compact footprint, utility connections.
How fast can a project be deployed?
Modular design supports streamlined installation and commissioning, subject to permitting and site readiness.
What about emissions and safety?
Units are independently tested against industrial thresholds and follow documented operating and fire‑safety procedures.
Do you publish project documentation?
We provide buyers and partners with relevant operational and verification documentation upon request.
