Planned facility near Birmingham designed to produce about 74,600 tons of biochar per year from wood residue, serving both steel applications and carbon removal
📅 September 2026 📍 Alabama, USA
Beston Group recently conducted a site visit in Alabama, USA, to a large-scale biochar carbon dioxide removal (CDR) project now in preparation. Henry He, CEO, and Matt Zhang, Marketing Director, represented Beston Group on the visit, where they met the project team and toured the planned site at a wood processing facility near Birmingham. Below is the video recap and information regarding the site visit.
The U.S. is a fast-growing market for durable carbon removal, and biochar is among its most commercially established pathways. Buyers increasingly seek verified, high-quality removal credits, so the client sees strong long-term demand for biochar CDR.
The client formed a dedicated company for the project. The project first targeted the northwestern U.S. However, the South offers more abundant biomass and lower feedstock costs. The project therefore moved to a wood processing plant near Birmingham, Alabama.
Ordinary wood residue is gaining new value, and this Alabama project is moving step by step from planning toward reality. Beston Group will continue to follow its progress and share updates. Likewise, if you are planning a biochar or CDR project, we are ready to visit your site. Together, we can understand your needs and discuss biochar production solutions that fit your project.
