Benefits of Project & Method

  • The biochar is stored in soils, which is permanently stored for 100+ years.
  • Waste residues from the forestry and agricultural industry such as wood chips are used to produce the biochar.
  • Used to improve soil, biochar enhances plant health by strengthening soil structure and boosting its overall quality.
  • Cortus’ WoodRoll technology produces about 500+ MWh of electricity and 2700+ MWh of thermal energy that is used internally and supplied to the district.
  • Cortus contributes to the circular economy by utilising waste materials to sequester carbon.
  • The project’s MRV system uses Carbonfuture’s dMRV+ that helps track and trace the carbon sequestration and final storage sites.
  • Certification: European Biochar Certificate (EBC)
