Your biomass. Your plant. NetZero's ecosystem.
NetZero One is our turn-key industrial partnership model. It is built for companies that have biomass and want to run their own biochar project, with NetZero's technology, operating support, certification expertise, and industrial biochar track record behind them.
The partner owns the plant. NetZero brings the technology, project delivery, operating standards, data systems, agronomy, MRV, certification, and carbon-credit commercialisation.
After start-up, we stay involved. We support the local team so the project delivers in the most efficient way possible and continuously adapts to the evolutions of certification standards.

Ongoing technical support across multiple dimensions
MRV, certification, and CDR commercialisation
Continuous adaptation to the frequent evolutions of certification standards
What the project delivers
Better valorisation of biomass
Biochar to improve soil quality and crop productivity
Certified, high-permanence carbon removal credits sold at a premium price
Potential local energy value from the production process
Much more than hardware
NetZero One is not another biochar equipment offer. It is an integrated industrial model that brings together technology, engineering, operations, agronomy, MRV, certification, and carbon-credit commercialisation. In a first-time implementation, each of these elements carries significant operational risk. NetZero One brings them together in a proven, ready-to-run package that significantly de-risks the project.
NetZero's continuous, modular pyrolysis technology is developed for consistent production at industrial scale, with a cutting-edge process-control and automation system.
After commissioning, NetZero supports operations with standards, technical and maintenance expertise, training, joint developments, data systems, and performance routines.
A recognised industrial biochar and CDR brand, strengthened by winning XPRIZE Carbon Removal, helps projects earn trust with partners, buyers, and stakeholders.
The partner benefits from NetZero's experience across multiple certification processes, plus ongoing work to anticipate methodology, registry, and buyer requirements and bring the necessary adjustments into the project.
NetZero connects high-permanence carbon removal projects to credible carbon-credit demand.
NetZero uses trials and research to support feedstock choices, biochar quality, and practical field use.
Who is it for?
NetZero One is built for organisations that control at least 10kt of biomass per year, can host an industrial project, and want to own the value created by biochar production.
Large farms or plantations
Large-scale crop operations, plantations, or planted forests that generate sufficient residue volumes on-site to support a dedicated biochar installation.
Cooperatives
Agricultural cooperatives managing collective production, storage, or processing, with the scale and governance structure to anchor a shared NetZero One facility.
Integrated agro-processors
Sugar mills, rice processors, coffee processors, and similar facilities that generate large, consistent volumes of agricultural residues as a natural by-product of their operations.
Agricultural traders and exporters
Commodity traders and exporters with direct access to processing infrastructure and residue streams, looking to add a certified sustainability layer to their supply chain.
