Advanced Carbon Materials From Waste Wood
A strategic technology partner in InfiniteEco's Waste-to-Value ecosystem
What Biochar Now Does
Biochar Now transforms low-value waste wood into high-performance carbon using a patented slow-pyrolysis system. Their process produces high-fixed-carbon, activated-carbon-adjacent material used across agriculture, water treatment, oil & gas remediation, construction materials, and long-term carbon sequestration.
The company has spent more than a decade developing, testing, validating, and commercializing durable carbon products across dozens of industries. Their consistent product quality, verified performance, and long-track record make them one of the most proven biochar producers in North America.
Partnership Impact at Full Build-Out
The Technology
Patented Slow Pyrolysis System
Biochar Now operates a sealed, batch-based slow pyrolysis system designed for maximum carbon retention and product quality.
Very High Carbon Retention
Consistently produces char with unusually high fixed-carbon content, often approaching properties of activated carbon.
Advanced Pore Structure
Creates meso- and macro-porous structures suited for water filtration, chemical adsorption, and nutrient capture.
Clean, Controlled Processing
Sealed-kiln system minimizes emissions and produces consistent, contaminant-free carbon material.
Multiple Validated Applications
Years of trials demonstrating results across agriculture, remediation, construction, and carbon sequestration.
Applications & ROI
Biochar Now's technology delivers tangible, measurable returns across multiple industries.
Agriculture
Increased soil water holding capacity, reduced water consumption, higher yields through nutrient retention and soil structure improvements. NRCS funding reimbursements (Code 336) reduce cost to growers.
Oil & Gas / Industrial Remediation
Proven removal of mercury, hydrocarbons, and salts. Frack-water cleanup pilots showing strong results. Used in state-approved applications (Texas Railroad Commission).
Water Bodies & Nutrient Management
Patented system uses biochar sacks placed in rivers or lakes to capture phosphorus and nutrients that cause algal blooms. Spent biochar becomes valuable phosphorus-rich fertilizer.
Construction & Materials
Improved compressive strength in concrete, lower weight and improved insulation in materials. Carbon-negative construction products attract ESG-oriented buyers.
Carbon Removal & Credits
Produces durable carbon stored for centuries. Verified, high-integrity carbon credits insured via AgriCap/AXA. Potential 45Q benefit depending on structuring.
Why InfiniteEco Partners With Biochar Now
InfiniteEco is deploying Biochar Now's technology as a core part of our regional Waste-to-Value ecosystem.
1. Feedstock Security Through StormCo
StormCo generates large volumes of clean wood waste from construction and demolition hauling, creating a stable, long-term biomass supply with lower cost per ton and high margins.
2. Regional Demand (Oklahoma & Texas)
InfiniteEco's network includes oil & gas operators, municipalities, environmental consultants, farmers, ranchers, golf courses, water treatment groups, and industrial processors.
3. Scalable Carbon Impact
At full build-out, 30,000+ tons of waste diverted annually, 40-50K tons of CO₂e permanently sequestered each year, with significant local economic development and job creation.
4. Low CAPEX, High Output
Biochar Now's kilns are cost-effective compared to other pyrolysis technologies, enabling faster plant deployment, break-even, revenue generation, and expansion to multiple regional sites.
Company Background
Biochar Now was founded by CEO James Gaspard, an attorney and entrepreneur who identified the urgency of addressing beetle-kill and wildfire-risk wood in Colorado's forests.
Over more than a decade, he and his team have refined the process, built long-term customer trust, proven dozens of applications, scaled to supply demanding industrial clients, developed patents and unique carbon-product capabilities, and pioneered insured carbon credit products with AgriCap/AXA.
Biochar Now is now positioned for national expansion—and InfiniteEco is a strategic partner helping scale that vision across Oklahoma and Texas.
