Flow Earth removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using fast-growing grasses, converting them into biochar and sustainable biofuels to replace fossil fuels. The resulting enriched soils support regenerative farms, creating income streams that further finance carbon removal. This self-financing system aims to restore soils and displace fossil fuels.

Problem
Current methods of carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere are often expensive and lack scalability, hindering efforts to combat climate change effectively. Reliance on traditional methods also fails to address the need for soil regeneration and the displacement of fossil fuels.
Solution
Flow Earth offers a self-financing system for carbon dioxide removal by establishing C4 grasses on marginal lands and converting them into biochar and sustainable biofuels. This Skymining® process, validated by ISO 14064, combines CO2 removal with long-term carbon storage in soils, enhancing their fertility and resilience. The resulting enriched soils support regenerative farms, creating income streams through the production of food, fiber, and carbon-negative fuels, which further finance carbon removal and reduce primary emissions from fossil fuels. Satellite and drone monitoring, coupled with blockchain-secured data, ensures transparency and verification of carbon removal and storage.
Target Audience
Flow Earth serves companies seeking comprehensive decarbonization plans, financial institutions looking to invest in regenerative farming, and individuals interested in supporting land restoration and carbon dioxide removal.
Features
- ISO 14064 validated Skymining® process for CO2 removal and soil carbon sequestration
- Utilization of C4 grasses, which remove CO2 from the atmosphere 10x faster than trees and store 5x more carbon than forests
- Production of biochar through industrial-scale pyrolysis for 1,000+ years of permanent carbon storage in soils
- Generation of carbon-negative solid fuel (CNF) and liquid fuels, including sustainable jet fuel, from C4 grasses
- Soil regeneration and increased crop yields through biochar application, reducing the need for nitrogen fertilizers
- Satellite and drone monitoring of farms to verify carbon flows and biomass coverage
- Digitization of land restoration projects with project ownership and CO2 removal credits secured on a public distributed ledger
- Production of organic fibers and plant proteins to replace unsustainable materials and support the plant-based protein industry
