Project Details
Description
CalyChar aims to develop cost-effective direct air carbon capture solutions for agriculture and construction, leveraging hydrochar technology to create net-zero products. These include a soil amendment to enhance fertility while capturing CO₂ and an aggregate additive for cement to sequester CO₂ permanently.
With the potential to capture 3-5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually at £100 per tonne, CalyChar addresses rising carbon credit costs and sustainability challenges. The project transitions from Proof-of-Concept to Minimum Viable Product, collaborating with industry partners to validate performance.
The team includes experts in industry engagement and techno-economic analysis. Research focuses on material characterization, lab testing, and commercial feasibility. By providing scalable and economical decarbonization alternatives, CalyChar supports the global net-zero agenda, benefiting both environmental sustainability and industrial compliance.
