NoviqTech subsidiary Coralia has entered into a strategic carbon dioxide removal (CDR) agreement with A Healthier Earth (AHE), a subsidiary of the Pure Data Centres Group. This collaboration focuses on a flagship project located within the Great Barrier Reef Catchment in North Queensland, Australia. The agreement outlines a long-term offtake for at least 70% of the carbon credits generated by the site. Over the project’s lifespan, the facility is expected to process approximately 2 million tonnes of agricultural biomassBiomass is a complex biological organic or non-organic solid product derived from living or recently living organism and available naturally. Various types of wastes such as animal manure, waste paper, sludge and many industrial wastes are also treated as biomass because like natural biomass these More and invasive woody weed species. This volume of feedstockFeedstock refers to the raw organic material used to produce biochar. This can include a wide range of materials, such as wood chips, agricultural residues, and animal manure. More is projected to yield 550,000 high-integrity biocharBiochar is a carbon-rich material created from biomass decomposition in low-oxygen conditions. It has important applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, agriculture, carbon sequestration, energy storage, and sustainable materials, promoting efficiency and reducing waste in various contexts while addressing climate change challenges. More CDR credits, which will be commercialized through AHE’s global carbon removal platform.

The primary challenge addressed by this partnership is the increasing demand for high-quality carbon removals, driven largely by the rapid expansion of data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure. These energy-intensive industries require verifiable, large-scale CDR solutions to meet their sustainability commitments. Furthermore, the Great Barrier Reef Catchment region faces significant ecological management hurdles, including the accumulation of vast quantities of agricultural waste and the spread of invasive woody weeds. Managing these waste streams effectively while adhering to stringent local environmental permitting and international carbon registry standards represents a complex operational and regulatory barrier for large-scale biochar production.

To address these challenges, the partners have integrated Coralia’s site-specific development capabilities with A Healthier Earth’s commercialization expertise and technology. Coralia is responsible for physical site development, production trials, and feasibility studies, ensuring all operations comply with Australian permitting laws. A Healthier Earth provides the necessary high-quality biochar production machinery and oversees data analysis from the trials. This technical synergy allows for the optimization of feedstock sourcing and the production process. By focusing on invasive species and waste biomass as feedstock, the project simultaneously mitigates ecological threats while creating a stable, long-term carbon sink.

The outcomes of this partnership include the establishment of a robust supply chain for high-integrity carbon credits and the pending construction of a dedicated production facility in North Queensland. The project provides a scalable model for integrating biochar production into regional ecological management strategies. By securing a significant offtake agreement, the entities have ensured the financial viability of the project during a market “supercycle” for carbon removals. Additionally, the initiative contributes to the restoration of the Great Barrier Reef Catchment by removing invasive biomass, demonstrating how biochar technology can align industrial carbon needs with regional environmental conservation goals.
