Exomad Green and the China-based technology provider Beston Group have announced the commencement of the second phase of their strategic partnership. This collaboration focuses on the deployment of industrial-scale equipment to convert sawmill waste into 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. Building on an initial phase that utilized seven production units, the companies are now preparing for the shipment of eight additional BST-50 units. This expansion is a critical component of Exomad Green’s strategy to scale its operations and fulfill significant carbon removal obligations on the voluntary carbon market.

The primary challenge addressed by this partnership is the technical and logistical difficulty of scaling biochar production to meet massive carbon dioxide removal (CDR) demands. As the market for durable CDR credits matures, suppliers face the hurdle of moving from pilot-scale projects to industrial-grade output while maintaining strict standards for traceability and quantification. Exomad Green requires consistent, pre-approved technology to satisfy large-scale offtake agreements, such as its landmark 1.24-million-tonne deal with Microsoft, which necessitates a rapid increase in operational throughput in South America.

The solution involves the integration of Beston Group’s BST-50 industrial-grade carbonization systems into Exomad Green’s Bolivian facilities. These units are specifically designed for high-volume processing and carry pre-approval from Isometric, a major carbon registry. By standardizing their infrastructure with fifteen total Beston units, Exomad Green creates a streamlined manufacturing process that utilizes sustainable 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 from the local timber industry. This technological synergy allows for the rigorous monitoring and verification required by international standards like Puro.earth and Isometric.

The outcomes of this partnership are substantial for the global biochar industry and the South American CDR market. Exomad Green has already issued 300,000 CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) under the Puro.earth standard, establishing itself as a premier global supplier of durable carbon credits. With the Phase 2 equipment arriving, the company is on track to sequester 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually by 2027. Furthermore, the collaboration supports the development of what is projected to be the world’s largest biochar production site, scheduled to become operational in mid-2026.
