Here’s Neutura. They’re a carbon removal company that uses biochar to remove gigatons of carbon in the atmosphere. Now, they just received angel funding to launch projects next year. 

• What’s biochar? It’s a carbon-rich material produced by Neutura from agricultural waste. Oh, and it’s capable of locking carbon in for over 500 years.  

Investor check. The angel investors weren’t named and the amount raised was undisclosed.

🖤 The ABCs of Neutura

To prevent the harmful effects of agricultural waste burning, Neutura has come up with a more eco-friendly solution. 

Their biochar product, which is made from a process called pyrolysis, can improve soil health and fertility and enhance crop yield.

Wood vinegar, a byproduct of the process, can also be used as a natural pesticide and fertilizer. 

• But that’s not where the magic stops. Their processed biochar can be incorporated into the soil to sequester carbon!
• That’s when carbon is stored so it’s not emitted into the atmosphere—this reduces greenhouse gases and lessens the impact on the climate. 

Getting the $$$. They can generate revenue by selling carbon credits and their biochar product.

💡COP28 update
