BluSky Carbon Biochar Quality Standards Achieved
Biochar Produced by Company Meets Biochar Offtake and Carbon Credit Standards
Biochar Produced by Company Meets Biochar Offtake and Carbon Credit Standards
(CSE:BSKY)(OTCQB:BSKCF)(FWB:QE4 /WKN A401NM) ("BluSky" or the "Company"), an innovative entry into the carbon removal clean technology sectoris pleased to announce that it has completed certified laboratory testing which confirms its Biochar production qualifies for global carbon credit transactions, including in respect of the company's recent $105 million AR1 offtake agreement (see Company news dated Sept 24) and proposed $192 million AR2 Biochar project (see Company news dated Dec 11).
The Company believes that this technical hurdle is a singularly important milestone, as achieving the certification requires a Biochar producer to ensure quality and product credibility. To meet the requirements, Biochar production needs to meet a low threshold of contaminants such as heavy metals like nickel and chromium.
Additionally, the process needs to produce a stable product regarding a low hydrogen-to-carbon ratio (H/C). When biomass is pyrolyzed, the biomass loses hydrogen as a gas. This leaves behind carbon-dense biochar. The more carbon dense, and the less hydrogen, the more stable the biochar is in terms of carbon sequestration. In other words, a lower H/C ratio means less hydrogen, higher carbon density, and higher carbon stability.
Results of the certified lab testing demonstrate that BluSky's Biochar produced by its Vulcan Heavy equipment meets the Company's requirements for its current and future offtake agreements and categorically qualifies for carbon credit transactions.
BluSky CEO Will Hessert notes, "We are delighted to confirm that our Vulcan Heavy system delivers quality Biochar as intended. Fewer contaminants and higher carbon density has always been the target for our production team. The test results confirm product eligibility for our current and future biochar offtake agreements, including biochar quality suitable for carbon credit transactions by marketplaces such as NASDAQ partner PURO. Earth where current pricing is now sitting near €160 (~167USD) per ton. Our next step is to move through the accreditation process for carbon credit production and to deliver high-quality biochar to our commercial customers. Consistent high-quality char is what the industry needs and our goal is to deliver gigatonnes of it. With our Vulcan Heavy system, we are well on the way to achieving a meaningful carbon removal impact as we grow to scale in the year ahead."
