Locoal's approach to sinking over 30 million tons of carbon as biochar annually by 2028 has several benefits, including mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, providing a sustainable solution for organic waste management, improving soil health and fertility, and creating economic opportunities for farmers and other agricultural users.

Biochar is a type of charcoal made from organic waste such as wood, crop residues, manure or even sewage sludge. It is produced by heating the waste in a low-oxygen environment, a process called pyrolysis. Biochar improves soil health and secures carbon credits when applied to soil or other long-term storages.
LOCOAL® is working with Pecan Grove Farms to explore the potential benefits of using biochar in their commercial pecan farms. Biochar can improve soil health, offset energy costs, increase crop yields, and reduce the environmental impact of pecan farming.
LOCOAL is always looking for ways to grow and connect with like-minded individuals, organizations and investors. One way that they have been able to do this is through their membership in the Capital Factory Network, a community of entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors who are dedicated to supporting startups and promoting innovation.
Locoal collaborated with Davey Tree on a study that explored the potential benefits of using biochar as a soil amendment for new tree growth.
Biomass conversion systems are highly efficient in generating energy and capturing carbon when designed with remote connectivity.
Tyson Foods conducted a 225-day study in 2021 with LOCOAL to explore the potential benefits of using biochar as bedding material for chickens.
Locoal is developing a portable, multi-feedstock biomass conversion system that is beneficial for advancing the bioeconomy in the United States by enabling the utilization of abundant, renewable, and diverse biomass resources for producing biofuels, biochar, and resilient energy.

Intelligence enables biomass conversion systems to monitor, control, and optimize their conversion process using sensors, data analysis, and feedback loops. This results in higher efficiency, lower emissions, and less waste.
Wood waste is one of the most common sources of biomass and accounts for about 2.1% of U.S. annual total energy consumption in 2021. However, there is still a lot of wood waste that is not being utilized for energy production due to lack of infrastructure and incentives to collect and transport waste wood to biomass facilities.
Biomass is a renewable source of energy that can be used to generate heat, electricity, or biofuels through various processes. It has several advantages over fossil fuels such as being renewable and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, it also has some challenges and drawbacks that need to be addressed.
The Rainmaker™ biomass conversion system is a relocatable and highly efficient solution for generating energy and capturing carbon from available organic materials.
