Standard Biocarbon builds commercial biochar manufacturing capacity using state-of-the-art technology to produce consistently high-quality biochar for carbon removal. The company’s plant in Enfield, Maine will begin production in Q1 2024 and is estimated to produce 16,000 cubic yards of biochar annually. That production is expected to capture roughly 3,000 tons of carbon per year, positioning biochar as a long-duration carbon removal pathway. Biochar produced by the company has applications in agriculture, hazardous waste remediation, stormwater management, and in low-carbon cement, pavement and polymers. Founded in 2020 by Fred Horton and Tom Horton, Standard targets scalable CDR (carbon dioxide removal) and higher-value end markets. The recent funding is intended to scale operations at its Enfield facility to meet growing demand for carbon capture and biochar.
