Orbital Biocarbon Canonsburg

Orbital Biocarbon

The Orbital Biocarbon Canonsburg Biosolids-to-Biochar Carbon Removal Project converts municipal wastewater biosolids from the Pittsburgh metropolitan region into stable biochar using high-temperature pyrolysis in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. By transforming a waste stream that would otherwise be landfilled into a durable carbon-rich material applied to soils, the project achieves approximately 1,400 tonnes of net CO₂ removal per year. The facility is co-located with wastewater treatment infrastructure to minimize transport emissions and operates under the Isometric biochar carbon removal methodology, delivering long-term (1,000 year) carbon storage while supporting circular waste management and regional soil health
