THE WORLD’S LEADING BIOMASS CARBON REMOVAL DEVELOPER
Transforming Western Australia’s largest weed infestation into carbon-capturing biochar
Our Impact
Carbon Trailblazers
Carbon Removal (CDR) is essential to limit global warming to 1.5˚C and needs to scale now. By 2050, we need to be removing 10 billion tons of CO2 each year.
Founder Richard Paterson, a visionary in Northern Australia carbon capture opportunities, Biomass Projects is on a mission to make a scalable impact on climate change through Biomass Carbon Removal.
Engineered Carbon Removal
We transform Weeds of National Significance and Invasive Species into high-grade biochar at an industrial scale.
When applied back to the land, biochar increases water retention and soil fertility, restoring the ecosystem to its original state.
The carbon sink created by biochar is captured and stored for circa 1,000 years. This permanent carbon sequestration is critical to reducing global warming.

Net Zero Transition To Green Steel
The steel industry is one of the largest emitters of CO2, contributing 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Our metallurgical grade of biochar (MetChar) is a sustainable alternative to replace coal in steel production.
Plans are underway to supply the steel industry with industrial scale Pulverised Coal Injection (PCI) coal replacement and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) charcoal replacement.

Our Projects
Our first project is set on 225,000 hectares in the Pilbara, Western Australia.
The property is overrun with Australia’s largest mesquite infestation, recognised by government as a Weed of National Significance (WoNS), posing a severe threat to the local ecosystem.
Plans are underway to build the world’s largest biochar production facility on-site. The plant will pyrolyse 10.5 million tonnes of biomass over 20 years, resulting in 10.2 million tonnes of CO2 removal.
The project Carbon Removal is equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from 2.2 million cars or the electricity used in 2 million homes every year.

Our Technology
Biochar production involves heating organic plant matter (biomass) in the absence of oxygen through pyrolysis, which converts it into a stable form of carbon rich charcoal.
Positive Social Impact
Our land restoration program will return the ecosystem to its original landscape that existed prior to the mesquite weed infestation – a long held ambition of the government and community.
We value our strategic partnership with the Wirrawandi Aboriginal Corporation on our first project and acknowledge the Mardudhunera and Yaburara people on whose land this project will operate.
The project aims to offer income and employment opportunities to First Nations Peoples on country. We look forward to building a sustainable, low carbon future with the Mardudhunera and Yaburara people on their ancestral lands.
