Revenue model

1. Waste Management Fees (Tipping Fees): Revenue from waste management fees charged to municipalities, landfill operators, and waste management companies for processing organic waste through carbonization facilities.
2. Specialized Biocarbon Sales: Revenue from sale of specialized biocarbon products including SoilChar for agriculture, ConcreteChar for construction, FilterChar for wastewater treatment, RemediChar for remediation, and LandfillChar for waste management applications.
3. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Credits: Revenue from generation and sale of verifiable carbon dioxide removal credits through the production and sequestration of biocarbon materials. Advanced market commitment of USD $100,000 received from Shopify through AirMiners Kiloton Fund.
4. Technology Licensing: Long-term revenue opportunity through technology design and deployment licensing agreements for biomass-to-biocarbon facilities.

Core offering

Carbon Lock Tech develops and deploys proprietary pyrolytic reactor systems that convert biomass and organic waste into specialized biocarbon products through controlled thermal decomposition without oxygen. The company produces six branded biocarbon outputs (SoilChar, ConcreteChar, FilterChar, RemediChar, LandfillChar, and BioBitumen) for applications across agriculture, construction, water treatment, environmental remediation, and waste management. Revenue is generated through waste management tipping fees, biocarbon product sales, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits, and technology licensing.

Product overview

Carbon Lock Technologies Inc. operates as a cleantech company offering a proprietary pyrolytic reactor technology platform that converts biomass and organic waste into specialized biocarbon products. The core technology processes various organic feedstocks through pyrolysis to produce stable biocarbon for long-term carbon sequestration. The product portfolio includes six specialized biocarbon offerings: SoilChar™ for agriculture, ConcreteChar™ for construction, FilterChar™ for water filtration, RemediChar™ for environmental remediation, LandfillChar™ for municipal waste management, and BioBitumen™ for sustainable asphalt. Revenue is generated through waste management fees, biocarbon product sales, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits, and technology licensing agreements.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Rural Municipality of RitchotcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 20 August 2025Municipal demonstration project deploying proprietary pyrolytic reactor near Mid Canada landfill to convert organic waste (wood and food scraps) into stable biocarbon pellets. Council unanimously approved moving forward with negotiations. Vital commercial milestone to validate technology at scale.
• RXN HUBcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 18 June 2025Partnership with RXN HUB in Kingston, Ontario for bio-bitumen development, techno-economic analysis (TEA), and research collaboration. Won Breakthrough Research Prize at Climate Solutions Prize Festival 2025 in partnership. Research activities underway at RXN HUB's state-of-the-art facility in Kingston.

Emerging players

• CarbonOrO: Biochar-based carbon removal project developer producing certified biochar CDR credits; partial overlap with Carbon Lock's biochar/CDR credit revenue model but operating at earlier commercial stage.
• Wakefield BioChar: U.S. biochar producer focused on agricultural applications of biochar for soil health; comparable specialized biocarbon product approach (SoilChar analog) though focused primarily on agriculture rather than full vertical portfolio.
• Standard Biocarbon Industries Corporation: Maine-based biochar producer using pyrolysis to convert forest biomass into biochar products for industrial, agricultural, and filtration markets; comparable pyrolysis-based biocarbon product portfolio targeting similar end-use verticals.

Direct peers

• Carbofex: Finnish pyrolysis technology provider manufacturing biochar from woody biomass for soil and carbon removal applications; directly comparable pyrolytic reactor technology with European customer base.
• Carbon Cycle GmbH: European pyrolysis technology provider manufacturing biochar production systems sold/licensed to operators; comparable business model around pyrolytic reactor design with technology licensing revenue stream.
• Charm Industrial: U.S.-based carbon removal company that converts biomass into bio-oil and sequesters it underground; the most directly comparable peer operating a biomass-pyrolysis-based durable CDR platform with similar technology and customer profile.
• NovoCarbo: German biochar production and project developer operating PyroCore pyrolysis plants and selling certified carbon removal credits; directly comparable biomass-to-biochar model with mature CDR credit sales.
• Pacific Biochar Benefit Corporation: Producer of biochar and activated carbon from biomass feedstock via pyrolysis, selling into agriculture, livestock, and water filtration markets; closely comparable pyrolytic process and multi-vertical product portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Aemetis, Inc. Renewable fuels and bioenergy company with carbon capture initiatives; adjacent in carbon and bioenergy markets, larger and more diversified, but pursues biomass-based climate solutions with comparable regulatory and feedstock dynamics.
• PyroGenesis Canada Inc. Canadian-based plasma and pyrolysis technology company with broader portfolio across waste destruction, metal powders, and carbon black; comparable Canadian domicile and core pyrolysis technology, but serves multiple end markets beyond biocarbon.
