Charm Industrial is working to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. They design, build and operate a fleet of mobile fast pyrolyzers that convert ag and forest biomass residues into bio-oil for use in carbon removal and direct-reduced-iron steelmaking.
Charm uses plants to capture CO₂ from the atmosphere. They convert biomass into a stable, carbon-rich liquid and then pump it deep underground. This removes CO₂ permanently from the atmosphere, out of reach of wildfires, soil erosion, and land use change.
