The PurestActivated Carbonon Earth.

Bio Carbon Products transforms sustainably sourced wood biomass — material that would otherwise decompose in the forest or be openly burned, releasing greenhouse gases — into one of the most powerful filtration materials on the planet. No coal. No compromise.

Who we are

We reuse what others discard. We refine it into something the world can't do without.

01The Problem

Millions of tons of wood biomass from sawmills, forestry operations, and land clearing decompose on the forest floor or are openly burned every year — naturally releasing greenhouse gases and squandering a resource the world urgently needs.

02The Process

Bio Carbon Products collects sustainably sourced wood biomass within an 80-mile radius of our facility and converts it through advanced thermochemical conversion into premium activated carbon — cleaner, purer, and more effective than coal-derived alternatives. Diverting this material captures carbon that would otherwise return to the atmosphere as greenhouse gas.

03The Product

Activated carbon of exceptional purity, tailored for the most demanding applications: PFAS remediation, drinking water treatment, gas purification, and industrial filtration.

The Process

From Forest Biomass to Pure Carbon.

Every tonne of activated carbon we produce diverts a tonne of wood biomass from forest decay — and replaces a tonne of coal-derived carbon. Wood naturally decomposes and releases greenhouse gases; this process intercepts that cycle and locks the carbon into a high-value product. The entire process is sealed, continuous, and carbon-negative by design.

01

Wood Biomass In

Sawmill residues, forestry thinnings, and land-clearing biomass — sourced within 80 miles of our facility. Material that would otherwise decompose in the forest or be openly burned, releasing greenhouse gases.

02

Thermochemical Conversion

Feedstock is fed into a modular reactor system, where it is processed through high-temperature pyrolysis and steam activation in a sealed, oxygen-controlled environment.

03

Activated Carbon Out

A granular, ultra-porous material with over 1,000 m² of surface area per gram — ready for water treatment, gas purification, and PFAS remediation.

The St. Mary's facility takes wood biomass — sawmill residues, forestry thinnings, and material that would otherwise decompose in the forest or be openly burned, releasing greenhouse gases — and converts it into the purest activated carbon available on the market. The plant employs an advanced thermochemical conversion process, the same technology operating commercially in California today.

All output is contracted under take-or-pay agreements, providing revenue certainty from day one. The modular design supports future capacity expansion as market demand grows.
