Project Alfheim
Industrial-scale biochar carbon removal in Paraguay.
Project Overview
Project Alfheim converts waste biomass residues into high-quality biochar through industrial pyrolysis, creating durable carbon removal while generating renewable energy and productive uses for biomass waste streams.
Alongside the production facility, Alfheim incorporates monitoring, traceability and verification systems designed to provide a clear link between biomass inputs, biochar outputs and carbon removal claims.
A particular focus is the integrity of the sampling process. Carbon removal claims ultimately depend on whether laboratory samples are representative, traceable and properly documented. Alfheim is developing procedures designed to strengthen that link through independent sampling protocols, digital record keeping and documented chain of custody.

Sustainability & Governance
The project is designed around circular-economy principles, integrating agricultural waste management, renewable energy generation, carbon removal, and soil regeneration.
In addition to local regulatory requirements, the project is being developed in alignment with recognized carbon removal and monitoring frameworks, including Puro.earth.
These frameworks support feedstock traceability, carbon accounting, monitoring and verification.
