When organic matter is burned or left to decay, it releases its carbon content back into the atmosphere as CO2. However, biochar projects circumvent this natural process by heating organic matter (biomass) in the absence of oxygen so that no carbon is released, thereby becoming a method of carbon dioxide removal (CDR)

Traditional cooking methods in developing regions rely on open fires or rudimentary stoves that burn biomass inefficiently, releasing significant greenhouse gases and harmful pollutants. Improved cookstove projects distribute cleaner, more efficient cooking technologies that dramatically reduce fuel consumption, avoiding carbon emissions while simultaneously addressing energy poverty, reducing deforestation, and improving health outcomes for millions of families worldwide.

ARR projects are carbon-capture projects that promote biomass growth that otherwise would be absent from an area. ARR projects typically focus on regions where forests and vegetation have been depleted or degraded for a number of years, or else building up forests in areas where forest is not the natural state.

Deforestation accounts for roughly 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions as trees are cut and burned. REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects prevent this by creating financial incentives for communities to protect existing forests rather than clearing them, thereby avoiding the release of stored carbon that would otherwise enter the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide represents over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and remains in the atmosphere for centuries. DACCS technology actively extracts CO₂ directly from ambient air using chemical processes and mechanical systems, then permanently stores the captured carbon underground in geological formations, effectively removing historical emissions that are already contributing to climate change.

When organic waste decomposes in landfills, it produces methane gas that is 28 times more potent than CO₂ as a greenhouse gas. Landfill gas capture systems collect this methane before it escapes into the atmosphere and either destroy it through flaring or repurpose it as renewable energy, thereby preventing these powerful emissions from contributing to global warming.

Cement production accounts for approximately 9% of global CO₂ emissions through its manufacturing process. Concrete mineralization technology injects captured CO₂ into concrete during mixing, where it permanently transforms into solid calcium carbonate minerals, simultaneously strengthening the concrete and locking away carbon dioxide for centuries in the built environment.

Weathering of silicate rocks naturally absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere over geological timescales. Enhanced rock weathering accelerates this process by crushing specific minerals and spreading them over large areas like agricultural lands, where they react with atmospheric carbon dioxide to form stable carbonate compounds, effectively removing CO₂ while potentially improving soil health.

Conventional forestry practices often prioritize timber yield over carbon storage potential. Improved forest management (IFM) implements techniques like extended harvest rotations, reduced-impact logging, and selective thinning to maximize carbon sequestration in living trees, soil, and wood products, creating healthier forests that continuously remove more CO₂ from the atmosphere.
