BIOCARB

What BIOCARB does

BioCarb Solution is a Denmark-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credit provider founded in 2022 and headquartered in Silkeborg. The company operates a BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) value chain that sources biogenic CO2 from Danish biogas plants, transports it via CO2-neutral logistics, and stores it approximately 1,800 meters underground via the INEOS-operated Project Greensand for over 1,000 years of permanent sequestration. The full process is certified under Puro Earth, making the resulting CDR credits eligible under SBTi requirements for counterbalancing hard-to-abate residual emissions.

The company's core product is Puro Earth-certified CDR credits sold directly to climate-ambitious companies seeking to address residual emissions that cannot be eliminated through direct reduction. BioCarb operates a consultative direct-sales motion, offering flexible engagement from small-scale purchases (e.g., compensating for business trips) to full residual emissions compensation. Pricing is custom and undisclosed, with revenue generated on a transaction-fee basis per credit sold. The company is 100% owned by Danish Bio Commodities (DBC), a consulting and investment firm that part-owns several Danish biogas plants, providing vertical alignment between feedstock supply and CDR credit issuance.

BioCarb employs 1-10 people, including CEO Birger Parsberg Olesen (a biogas industry veteran who helped establish the first CO2 liquefaction plant at a Danish biogas facility) and Head of Carbon Credits Mille Munk Jørgensen. Beyond CDR credits, the company is testing biochar production from biogas residual waste with planned commercial availability from 2026, which would add a second carbon removal pathway. All current operations are Denmark-domestic, leveraging EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) compliance and a supportive Danish policy environment. No external institutional funding rounds have been disclosed.

Revenue model

1. CDR Credits Sales: BioCarb Solution generates revenue by selling Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits to companies seeking to compensate for emissions they cannot reduce. These credits are derived from the permanent storage of biogenic CO2 and are certified under Puro Earth. Companies can purchase credits in varying quantities, from small-scale compensation for specific activities like business trips to comprehensive compensation for all residual emissions.

Core offering

BioCarb Solution provides certified Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits generated from the capture, liquefaction, CO2-neutral transport, and long-term underground storage (1,000+ years) of biogenic CO2 sourced from Danish biogas plants. The full BECCS value chain is certified under Puro Earth, with storage executed via the INEOS Project Greensand partnership, allowing the company to deliver SBTi-eligible carbon removal credits to companies seeking to offset hard-to-abate residual emissions.

Product overview

BioCarb Solution is a service provider that offers Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) credits from the storage of biogenic CO2, certified under Puro Earth. The company works with Danish biogas plants to collect CO2 captured from biomass processing, handles transportation in a CO2-neutral way, and stores the CO2 underground via the INEOS project Greensand for over 1,000 years. The company also plans to offer BioChar from biogas plants starting in 2026, which will convert residual waste from biogas production into biochar for additional CO2 removal.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• INEOS (Project Greensand)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerBioCarb Solution partners with INEOS at project Greensand for safe CO2 storage. INEOS provides the underground storage infrastructure while BioCarb supplies the biogenic CO2 from Danish biogas plants. This partnership enables the permanent storage component of the CDR process.
• Puro EarthcoreTechnology or IntegrationBioCarb Solution works with Puro Earth to certify biogas plants and issue carbon removal credits. Puro Earth provides independent third-party certification ensuring the CDR credits meet all required standards for transparent and real climate action.
• Danish Bio Commodities (DBC)coreOthersBioCarb Solution is 100% owned by Danish Bio Commodities (DBC), a consulting and investment company focused on biogas. DBC also co-owns several Danish biogas plants and works to create more transparent, effective, and sustainable biogas production in Denmark, providing strategic alignment and potential business synergies.

Direct peers

• Charm Industrial: US-based company that sequesters biogenic carbon by converting biomass into bio-oil and injecting it underground. Closely comparable to BioCarb in using biogenic feedstock and achieving permanent underground storage, although the storage medium differs.
• Heirloom Carbon: California-based DAC CDR startup selling verified removal credits to enterprise buyers. Comparable to BioCarb in selling durable, certification-backed CDR credits for residual emissions, with a different capture technology.
• CarbonCapture Inc. US-based DAC CDR company developing full-stack capture plus geological sequestration and selling removals to corporate buyers. Comparable business model and customer base to BioCarb, with DAC as the underlying technology.
• Climeworks: Swiss-based DAC CDR pioneer that sells permanent carbon removal credits to corporates, the same core business model as BioCarb. Most comparable in go-to-market (direct credit sales to climate-ambitious companies) though technology is DAC rather than BECCS.

Broad incumbents

• Ørsted: Danish energy major with significant bioenergy operations and explicit decarbonization strategy relevant to CDR demand. Comparable as a large domestic Danish energy player in the same policy and feedstock ecosystem, even though it is not primarily a CDR seller.
• Drax Group: UK-listed biomass power generator with active BECCS project development (including geological storage via the CCS Cluster). Comparable as a large, established BECCS project developer targeting permanent CDR credit sales, though far larger and earlier-stage on actual removals.
• 1PointFive: Occidental subsidiary scaling industrial DAC plus dedicated geological storage (STRATOS hub) to sell CDR credits. Comparable as a large, well-capitalized CDR credit seller serving enterprise demand; differentiated by DAC rather than BECCS.

Others

• Puro.earth: Leading CDR registry and methodology provider that issues the certification for BioCarb's BECCS credits. Comparable as the dominant infrastructure layer for certified CDR credit issuance, and a core operating partner to BioCarb rather than a direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Stockholm Exergi: Swedish energy company developing one of Europe's first large-scale BECCS projects at a biomass-fired CHP plant, intending to sell permanent CDR credits. Closely comparable in BECCS technology and EU regulatory context.
• 44.01: Oman-based CDR company commercializing mineralized CO2 storage for permanent removal credits. Comparable as an emerging, science-based CDR credit seller competing for the same corporate buyer pool.
