Biochar carbon removal from LATAM

Tupana RGN

We transform agroforestry residues into durable carbon removal infrastructure for agricultural economies.

LATAM agroforestry residue streams

Tupana RGN builds high-integrity carbon removal projects grounded in science, enabled by industry partners and farmers, and designed for real-world agricultural systems.

The opportunity

LATAM can turn residual biomass into a new climate value chain.

Agricultural and forestry residues can become biochar, renewable energy, and carbon removal credits. Tupana RGN is advancing projects that connect residue owners, technology partners, investors, and carbon markets.

Input Agroforestry residues
Output Biochar + energy + credits
Market Carbon infrastructure

How it works

A residue-to-removal pathway with operational traceability.

01

Biomass sourcing

Track origin, volume, and feedstock type to support sustainability, traceability, and additionality.

02

Pyrolysis operations

Convert residues into biochar through controlled pyrolysis while collecting quality and process data.

03

Field application

Verify transport and application with geotagged logistics and precision field records.

04

dMRV

Connect sensors, lab results, logistics, and soil monitoring into a measurable removal framework.

05

Carbon removal

Deliver durable carbon storage while improving the economics and resilience of agricultural systems.

Residual biomass streams
Durable biochar production
Large bags used for storing and transporting biochar
Traceable storage and logistics

Field-scale validation

Turning rice residues into durable carbon removal.

Tupana RGN partnered with Argentina's largest rice producer to launch a field-scale biochar pilot in Santa Fe, Argentina. Rice straw was converted into biochar through controlled pyrolysis and applied at 5 t/ha under a randomized, replicated field design.

Soil carbon Evaluate durable increases in soil organic carbon.
Nutrient efficiency Study pH-mediated effects and fertilizer input reductions.
Yield integrity Monitor crop performance as harvest results come in.

Environmental problem solving

Turning sawmill residues away from burning and into biochar.

Sawmill residues are often treated as a disposal problem and burned in unmanaged conditions. Tupana RGN converts that waste stream into controlled biochar production, reducing local environmental pressure while creating durable carbon storage.

Avoid open burning Redirect residues away from unmanaged combustion and smoke.
Controlled conversion Use pyrolysis to transform biomass into a stable carbon-rich material.
Useful carbon product Create traceable biochar for soil and material applications.
From residue burning to controlled biochar production

Monitoring, reporting, and verification

dMRV designed for carbon markets and field reality.

Tupana RGN is building a full-chain data layer from biomass sourcing to long-term soil monitoring, connecting operational evidence with high-integrity carbon removal claims.

Full-chain traceability

Records the path from residue sourcing through biochar production, transport, application, and soil monitoring.

Biochar quality data

Tracks carbon content, H/C ratios, O/C ratios, fixed carbon, volatile matter, and stability indicators.

Geotagged logistics

Verifies the delivery and application of biochar with precision location and field records.

Soil and crop metrics

Monitors soil conditions, nutrient flux, greenhouse gas reductions, and crop yield impacts.
