The Process - From Concept to Carbon
Onnu is a biochar carbon removal project developer. We work at scale and speed, taking projects from inital concept to biochar production in less than a year.
With extensive experience in BCR project development, we partner with organizations that have a residual biomass, helping them to unlock its additional value. Because of the nature of biomass pyrolysis, our partners are typically in the agricultural or food processing sectors.
We design each carbonization plant around the available feedstock and the specific requirements of the site. Our proprietary CarboFlow technology is installed and commissioned by our team, and carefully optimized to meet performance specifications.
Once the plant is operational, we manage the full value chain - securing offtake for the biochar produced, as well as handling the associated carbon credits and green energy.
Making BCR projects a reality at speed and scale
Engineering and manufacturing our own pyrolysis technology, alongside our experience in project development, means that we can take projects from concept to carbon in just 6-12 months.

Planning
Feasibility and validation
A light-touch engagement to square off key requirements, and develop reliable, realistic projections and a business case.
Feedstock trials
Real-world pyrolysis of your waste to give accurate outcomes and inform any process changes and plant design.
Technology and engineering
All aspects of feedstock preparation, drying, pyrolysis and energy integration, giving an accurate design to take forward.
Implementation
Planning and compliance
Relating to all regulatory authorities and compliance, such as planning applications and permitting.
Installation
The delivery, installation and commissioning of your plant, ensuring all aspects are working to specification.
Operation and training
Development of a detailed operation model, and the certification and training of responsible staff.
Operations
Carbon accounting
We ensure qualification for carbon credits by the implementation of the correct methodology, project registration and sales and marketing of the credits.
Biochar
We can off-take the biochar produced and find applications for the biochar based on its properties.
Regular maintenance
We carry out regular planned maintenance, needed to ensure our carbonization plants are operating at their optimum level.

Pyrolysis
Our Green Energy Hubs produce large amounts of excess heat which can be delivered as a fully sustainable, carbon negative energy source for your business.
Carbon removal
Pyrolysis is the only practical and available carbon removal technology available today, and is a critical tool for the world's journey to Net Zero.
Biochar
Biochar is a long-term store of carbon, and an effective soil additive improving plant yields and health. We are committed to producing it on a large scale to make a real difference in the fight against climate change.
