Carbonity is a joint venture born from a collaboration between Airex Energy, Groupe Rémabec, and SUEZ. At full capacity, the plant will produce 30,000 tonnes of biochar per year.
Founded in 1988, Groupe Rémabec is proud to be the largest private forestry company in Quebec and one of the province’s leading sawmillers, providing high-quality direct employment to nearly 2,000 people.
For more than 160 years, SUEZ has provided essential services to protect and enhance quality of life in the face of growing environmental challenges.
SUEZ enables its clients to deliver reliable water and waste services through innovative, resilient solutions. Present in 40 countries with 40,000 employees, the Group helps clients create value throughout the entire life cycle of their infrastructure and services, driving their ecological transition in collaboration with local stakeholders.
In 2023, SUEZ supplied drinking water to 57 million people worldwide and provided wastewater treatment services to over 36 million people. The Group produced 7.7 TWh of energy from waste and wastewater, achieving €8.9 billion in revenue in 2023.
Airex Energy has been developing and supplying world-class decarbonization technologies capable of significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
With its proprietary CarbonFX™ clean technology, Airex Energy transforms residual biomass into high-value products such as biochar, biocarbon, and biocoal. Its technological solution and expertise are now in demand across the globe.
Produced from residues supplied by the neighbouring sawmill, the biochar manufactured at Carbonity offers multiple benefits, including increased nutrient retention, optimized water availability, and improved soil aeration.
Biochar is also a powerful tool for both climate change mitigation and adaptation. It has been identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as one of the five most effective negative emission solutions. It can sequester CO2 in soils or materials for several hundred years.
The biochar produced at Carbonity is a 100% organic soil amendment that enables farmers to improve crop yields while actively contributing to fight climate change by durably sequestering CO2 in the soil. A winning solution for both crops and the planet.
Discover how biochar can be integrated into your agricultural practices today.
Municipalities are on the front lines when it comes to dealing with the impacts of climate change: heat waves, flooding, droughts, and soil degradation. They are also among the first to take action.
Discover how biochar offers a tangible, circular, and forward-looking solution for your community.
The use of biochar as a feed additive can enhance animal health, feed efficiency, and livestock productivity. It also helps reduce nutrient losses and greenhouse gas emissions, while improving the quality of manure and, in turn, soil fertility.
Discover how biochar can be a valuable supplement for your livestock.
Biochar s a versatile solution with a wide range of applications. Discover how you can integrate it into your sustainable practices today.
The biochar produced at Carbonity meets the strict standards of the European Biochar Certification (EBC), ensuring both quality and sustainability. It complies with EBC Agro and AgroOrganic standards.
These internationally recognized certifications are available for verification upon request and reflect our commitment to producing high-quality biochar.
The voluntary carbon credits generated by Carbonity’s biochar are certified by Puro.earth. An established and internationally recognized standard Puro.Earth.
The metallurgical industry, responsible for nearly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, faces urgent pressures to decarbonize.
Biocarbon is a densified form of biochar with higher carbon and energy content. It can partially or fully replace metallurgical coal in metal refining processes (iron ore, base metals, steel, etc.).
The biocarbon produced at Carbonity can be tailored to meet each client’s specific requirements. For more information, contact us today.
