Our project partner: CARBONITY
The biggest plant of its kind
When the plant reaches full production capacity in 2026, the new CARBONITY biochar production facility in Port Cartier, Quebec, will be the largest plant of its kind in North America and among the largest biochar projects in the world certified to issue carbon sink certificates.
Biochar production at the CARBONITY plant, a joint venture between Airex Energy, Groupe Rémabec and SUEZ, will start operations in 2024 with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of biochar. By 2026, production will triple; by 2035, a total of 350,000 tons of biochar will be produced. Due to its size, this project will have a lasting impact on the development of the global market for biochar and increase the available supply in the long term.
In its role as carbon asset manager, First Climate ensures that the project meets international carbon sequestration standards and is also responsible for the overall certificate management. By marketing the carbon credits from the CARBONITY project, First Climate offers its clients the unique opportunity to invest in an exciting and forward-looking climate project.

Such a flagship project requires a team of professionals with proven experience in all fields within the voluntary carbon markets, such as First Climate. Their drive was integral in establishing and promoting this CARBONITY biochar project with us.
