Natural vs. accelerated

The natural way

Slowly, over thousands of years

Dead plant matter forms peat layers.

BiCRS = artificial acceleration

Plant emulsion injection under high pressure

By injecting dry matter and liquid as an emulsion.

Technology

The crop: Pennisetum SpM

A specially bred cross between grass and sugar cane.

In tropical regions, the crop can be harvested five to six times a year.

400 to 500 tons fresh biomass per hectare per year
Approximately 22 % dry matter — 250 to 300 tons CO₂ captured per hectare per year
Root system up to 1.2 meters deep
5 to 6 harvests per year
No impact on tropical rainforest

The carbon cycle with BiCRS

Atmospheric CO₂ is absorbed, stored in plant mass, harvested, and then injected into the subsurface.

Permanence

Long-term storage: 95.2 % rising to 99 %

Calculations based on Puro.earth's Terrestrial Storage of Biomass methodology, Edition 2023 v.1 show that approximately 95.2 % of the stored carbon remains permanently sequestered over a 100-year horizon.

With continuous injections on the same site, this figure rises to approximately 99 %. The reason is geometric: the stored volume grows cumulatively over time, while the exposed surface area at the boundary remains constant. The volume-to-surface ratio becomes increasingly favourable, and edge losses become marginal compared with the total stock.

Vision

Making our society CO₂-free

By freeing world trade from CO₂ certificates.

Recognize CO₂ as a global problem.
Keep this global process tax-free.
Intensify production of ethanol and methanol.
