Tangible, real-world impact at commercial scale
In short, we recycle carbon. Through pyrolysis, we prevent new emissions from entering the atmosphere via degradation and instead, convert the carbon into a durable form and bury it in soil which provides a range of benefits from water retention to increasing microbial activity. This process reverses the direction of potential emissions and enables new asset creation within the carbon cycle, while eliminating what would otherwise be waste. Circularity is key to a sustainable future!

There are many ways to improve the outcomes in failing systems worldwide, we believe that utilizing carbon is one of the fastest and most economical ways to create positive impact in the short and long term. We are excited to deploy our organic carbon into marine, agricultural, and forest systems to increase their productivity, viability, and resilience as we move into this critical time for our planet.
According to the U.N., the pace of global desertification is increasing by 30x its natural, historical rate. Higher temperatures and lesser amounts of arable land due to human intervention and changing weather patterns, create less natural rainfall and less land for agriculture adding to inflationary pressures and food insecurity.
Innovations such as electric vehicles, batteries and AI super computers require an immense amount of conductive carbon materials, which are typically not available in quantity in many regions. The global supply of graphite is dwindling and predominantly found in Asia, while moreover, other base metals such as nickel and cobalt are destructive and can be directly traced to child labor. Karmanterra is working with key collaborators on using its pyrolyzed carbon materials for development of battery anodes.
By deriving value and energy from previously discarded raw materials, Karmanterra is developing integrated waste recycling systems that solve multiple global challenges.
Waste that is burned or dumped into landfills emits significant amounts of CO2and causes human health ssues, this along with heavy industry are creating unpredictable scenarios for future warming of the planet.
Globally, nearly 12 million hectares of land become desertified every year. As this trend continues to increase, major disruptions await for food production, mass migrations, and increasing temperatures.
Eliminating the use of cobalt and nickel in battery applications will not only reduce the use of predatory and dangerous mining practices, it will also reduce harmful pollutants, runoff, and carbon emissions.
