We are on a mission to develop and scale groundbreaking technologies that regenerate our soils and sequester atmospheric carbon by the gigaton for the betterment of people and planet.
Our technology leverages natural thermal processes and precision automation to convert crop residues into biochar, a stable form of carbon that builds soil health and stays out of the atmosphere permanently.
By utilizing a mobile, in-field solution to convert field waste to biochar, we keep carbon where it matters most while dramatically cutting costs from the typical approach of shipping massive amounts of bulk material to and from centralized facilities.

Next-gen machinery creating biochar to boost soil health and sequester carbon.

Applied Carbon is harnessing the power of the biosphere to beat climate change. Working at the intersection of soil health and carbon removal, we’re building the world’s first in-field mobile biochar production system to unlock a new scalable market in sustainable agriculture. Biochar is a real climate and soil health solution today and one of the most promising solutions for addressing global climate change at scale. We've partnered with leading buyers of carbon removal credits, including as the largest biochar carbon removal supplier to Microsoft, to build a new type of business that helps farmers succeed while fighting climate change. Applied Carbon is a Series A stage company well-capitalized by top VC investors in climate tech, including Congruent Ventures, Grantham Foundation, and Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund. The RoleWe’re seeking an experienced Field Technician to join our world-class team at the intersection of soil health and carbon removal, helping to build an entirely new industry in sustainable agriculture. In this vital role, you’ll operate our state-of-the-art mobile pyrolysis systems in customer fields across the Southern United States—converting agricultural residue into biochar directly in the fields.
