Project Overview
American BioCarbon uses patented equipment and a proprietary process to transform bagasse, a byproduct of sugar cane processing, into biochar, CO2 removal certificates, and pellets. Traditionally discarded or burned, bagasse contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and land management issues. By productively using waste, American BioCarbon not only address environmental challenges, but also enhances the efficiency of sugar mills and creates beneficial products used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.
Sustainability Profile
Uses waste bagasse as feedstock material to produce biochar for soil improvement and carbon sequestration.
Technology
Patented Biomass Separation Unit removes waste material from incoming sugar cane to use as feedstock.
Location
Co-located with Cora Texas Sugar Mill in White Castle, LA under a long-term lease and feedstock supply agreement.
Investment Profile
Total investment at White Castle project: $150 million. Growth opportunities for additional facilities in LA and FL.
CS Operations Involvement
