Puro.earth focuses on net-negative verified technology that specializes in carbon removal and long-term storage. American BioCarbon's pre-certification demonstrates its successful compliance with Puro.earth's rigorous requirements. This involves a meticulous verification process conducted by an accredited, independent third party to confirm that American BioCarbon's biochar is carbon net-negative and socially responsible.

Biochar produced from agricultural waste, like American BioCarbon's bagasse biochar, captures carbon in a secure chemical structure that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere through decomposition or burn-offs. If the end-use application of the biochar is stable, carbon is secured. When incorporated into soils, biochar is up to 100 times more stable than the feedstock from which it was produced, and a substantial amount of biochar's organic carbon will persist in soil for centuries. American BioCarbon's bagasse biochar advances several UN Sustainable Development Goals in addition to carbon removal. For example, as a soil amendment, biochar increases water retention, reducing the demand irrigation puts on limited water supplies. It is also proven to reduce fertilizer run-off, a leading cause of US waterway pollution. Finally, biochar may be used to filter stormwater and wastewater by removing pollutants and heavy metals.

American BioCarbon is a carbon removal and renewable bioproducts company which offers a multi-pronged approach to scaling renewable bioenergy carbon capture. American BioCarbon's biochar is third-party certified by Puro.earth to remove and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. American BioCarbon is co-located with the Cora Texas Sugar Mill in White Castle, LA, and uses patented biomass separation technology to make biochar and other products from sugar cane bagasse. By using an agricultural waste product in a unique way, American BioCarbon eliminates legacy environmental impacts while helping customers meet environmental, social, and governance goals. www.americanbiocarbon.com

Puro.earth is the world's leading crediting platform for engineered carbon removal. Aiming at climate and economic impact, its mission is to mobilize the world's economy to reward carbon net-negative emissions. Puro provides voluntary corporate buyers long-term carbon removal procurement portfolios to fulfill net zero pledges, by identifying suppliers, verifying their negative emissions, and issuing CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) with the Puro Standard, the first carbon standard for engineered carbon removal. Trusted by leading organizations, Puro.earth is driving forward a market of carbon negative industries, enabling a new revenue stream for carbon removal suppliers to accelerate their growth. In 2021, Nasdaq acquired a majority stake in Puro.earth. www.puro.earth
