Generates high-quality biochar by pyrolyzing residual biomass at high temperatures, converting it into a stable carbon form that sequesters carbon dioxide for centuries. This process provides a measurable solution for individuals and businesses to offset emissions and contribute to net-zero goals by permanently removing carbon from the atmosphere.

Problem
The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide is increasing at an unsustainable rate, necessitating methods for carbon removal in addition to emissions reductions. Natural decomposition of biomass releases captured carbon back into the atmosphere, negating its initial sequestration.
Solution
Slíglas utilizes pyrolysis to transform residual biomass into biochar, a stable carbon form that sequesters carbon for centuries. This process heats biomass at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, preventing decomposition and locking carbon in a solid state. The resulting biochar is then applied to agricultural land, improving soil quality and fertility while ensuring long-term carbon storage. Slíglas adheres to stringent measurement, reporting, and verification standards to ensure the integrity of its carbon removal credits.
Target Audience
Slíglas targets sustainability-focused companies and individuals seeking to offset emissions and achieve net-zero goals, as well as farmers interested in improving soil health and reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers.
