Carbo Culture
Carbo Culture Oy
Biochar carbon removal using the company's Carbolysis pyrolysis reactors. The EU activity is ARC Middenmeer at Wagenpad 14 on the Agriport A7 estate in North Holland, built with ECW Energy and Royal Pride inside the Middenmeer horticulture and data centre cluster, designed for more than 20,000 tonnes of CO2 removal a year, around 40,000 cubic metres of biochar for Dutch greenhouses, 16 MW of energy and a 20 year service life. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency RVO awarded the company 3.5 million euro under the TSE Industrie Studies programme for the engineering and validation work needed to bring Carbolysis to industrial scale. The plant is not built: the environmental impact report is being prepared, the construction permit has not yet been applied for, and the company states no dates. Carbo Culture is a Finnish company, Carbo Culture Oy, with staff in Helsinki, London, Oslo and Copenhagen, and its earlier Puro.earth certified biochar came from a demo reactor in California, outside the scope of the CRCF. This entry therefore covers the Dutch project, not the company's history.
