Long Term Carbon Removal

At Tierra Prieta, we transform pecan shells into biochar, a soil amendment that also stores carbon long-term within the soil.

At Tierra Prieta, we distinguish ourselves by responsibly scaling up carbon removal via biochar, prioritizing biochar quality for the farmers who trust us with their crops.

What is Biochar?

Biochar is plant matter heated in the absence of oxygen, resulting in an ultraporous charcoal.

Tierra Prieta's Biochar, thanks to its high quality, retains water and nutrients longer near the roots, improving field performance.

Carbon Removal

Tierra Prieta specializes in creating biochar with a very stable form of carbon, which can be stored in the ground for hundreds of years, eliminating the possibility of it returning to the atmosphere. We follow the strict standards of the Puro.earth Biochar Methodology.
