Palm kernel shells. Cashew husks. Sawdust. Whatever you're burning or dumping — BIG converts it into biochar and carbon credits, and you get paid for it.
What We Do
BIG handles collection, production, carbon credit verification, sales, and revenue sharing.
01 — Offtake
Palm kernel shells, cashew husks, sawdust. If you're producing it at scale and don't know what to do with it, that's exactly what we're looking for.
02 — Production
Our equipment converts your residues into stable biochar through a controlled heating process. No open burning. No smoke. A clean, high-value output.
03 — Payout
Biochar locks carbon out of the atmosphere permanently. That earns verified carbon credits. We sell those credits to international buyers and pay you a share of what we earn.
Revenue Calculator
Two inputs. See what you earn each year as your share of the carbon credit revenue — paid to your business under our partnership model.
All revenue figures shown are what you receive after the partnership split. Assumes $150/tCO₂e carbon credit price · 97.5% collection efficiency · 0% upfront investment shown as primary result.
How It Works

FAQ
BIG (Biochar Industrial Group) is incorporated in the USA. We finance, install, and operate an industrial pyrolyzer at your site at no upfront cost to you.
Revenue from carbon credit sales is split: 20% to you, 60% to the financier of the machine, and 20% to BIG. If you choose to co-invest in the machine yourself, your share scales proportionally — up to 80%.
It depends on your feedstock type and annual volume. See the calculator above for a live estimate — pick your feedstock and enter your tonnes per year.
For context: a processor running ~5,000 tonnes/year of cashew shells earns roughly $71,000/year at the 0% upfront tier, or $177,000/year at the 50% co-invest tier.
Continuous-feed industrial pyrolyzers operating at 450–600°C in a low-oxygen environment. Zero open flame, no smoke.
We've been running this exact system at a sister palm kernel processing facility in Nigeria since 2024 — it's proven, not prototype.
Minimum volume: 1,000 tonnes/year. Moisture thresholds vary by feedstock:
If your material runs wetter than this, we can usually accommodate it with a short pre-drying step — talk to us.
We use the European Biochar Certificate (EBC) and Puro.earth methodology. MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) involves third-party lab verification of biochar carbon content and stability.
First credit issuance typically lands ~2 months after installation goes live.
Yes. We operate Nigeria's first industrial biochar plant, continuously processing palm kernel shells since December 2024. Happy to share site references and connect you with the operating team once we're in serious conversation.
Three things:
Permits, compliance, machine operation, and carbon credit certification — all handled by BIG.
Roughly 6 months from signed agreement to live operations, then ~2 months until the first carbon credits are issued and sold. So plan on ~8 months from handshake to first payment.
