High Plains Biochar is creating the first biochar co-op in which members can generate income from carbon credits by producing biochar. High Plains Biochar offers two carbon-negative technologies that enable anyone with biomass (such as wood chips) to create both heat and biochar, a charcoal-like substance typically used as a soil amendment. The co-op will remotely monitor the amount of carbon that is produced through data collection, verify the carbon credits produced, and distribute carbon-credit payments to individual member producers.
