Award finalist: Myno Carbon

December 22, 2022

Washington’s Commissioner of Public Lands, Hilary Franz, will present the second annual David & Patricia Giuliani Clean Energy Entrepreneur Award on January 5th, atop Seattle’s Columbia Tower, at the Future of Carbon Policy Forum.

The award, named after our organization’s founder and his wife, recognizes meaningful advances in clean energy innovation. The inaugural winner was Kenworth Trucks, presented by Governor Jay Inslee.

Join us there to find out which of these five finalists will win this year’s award:

Myno Carbon’s mission is to remove as much carbon as possible, as fast as possible, by building large-scale biochar production Carbon Removal Facilities (CRFs). Myno CRFs convert sustainably-sourced wood waste from sawmills into sequestered carbon in the form of biochar, generate renewable electricity, and create green jobs in rural timber-dependent communities.

Myno’s first production facility will be located in Kettle Falls in Stevens County, with at least four more facilities built by 2030. Myno reports their CRFs produce consistent volumes of steam for production of renewable electricity, generate large quantities of biochar targeted to agricultural applications, and create carbon removal credits and other carbon attributes. These multiple revenue streams allow Myno to remain profitable and generate carbon removal at scale.

Beyond carbon removal and sequestration benefits, biochar can be used as an agricultural amendment, reducing nitrogen fertilizer requirements and soil nitrous oxide emissions. Research in California has shown that adding biochar to a dairy’s manure-composting process reduces methane emissions by up to 84%.

Biochar as a carbon removal solution is recognized and supported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Will Myno’s biochar production innovation be recognized with the Giuliani Clean Energy Entrepreneur Award? Join us on January 5th to find out!
