Canada faces increasing wildfire risks due to rising greenhouse gas emissions and accumulation of residual biomass, such as uneconomical timber and forest debris. Forest licensees bear the costs of biomass burning, often resorting to leaving biomass on the forest floor, leading to methane emissions, or burning slash piles, releasing additional CO₂. In 2023, Canada's wildfires emitted over 1.5 billion metric tons of CO₂, surpassing the country's total emissions from forest fires over the previous 22 years combined.

TimberTurn addresses wildfire prevention and carbon storage by utilizing Terrestrial Storage of Biomass (TSB), an underground storage technique to securely sequester excess biomass from fire-prone areas. This process reduces greenhouse gas emissions and wildfire risks while generating high-quality carbon credits. TimberTurn's approach strengthens ecosystem resilience and creates a circular, sustainable service by integrating wildfire prevention with carbon market engagement. The company collects biomass, prepares it for underground storage, seals it in-situ, and then monitors and evaluates the storage site, followed by land restoration.
