PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - The global Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Market has been growing in the past years and is expected to continue at a substantial pace for years to come. Growing awareness and concern about the impacts of climate change are driving governments, businesses, and individuals to seek effective solutions for mitigating carbon dioxide emissions. The CDR market benefits from this heightened awareness and the urgent need for sustainable practices. A report from Custom Marketing Insights said that the global Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Market size is expected to record a CAGR of 14.8% from 2023 to 2032. In 2023, the market size is projected to reach a valuation of USD 610.9 Million. By 2032, the valuation is anticipated to reach USD 2,115.5 Million.   The report said: “Stringent Regulatory Policies and Targets: Governments around the world are implementing and enhancing regulatory frameworks aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The imposition of carbon reduction targets and the integration of carbon pricing mechanisms create a favorable environment for the growth of the CDR market, as industries seek ways to comply with these regulations.   Advancements in CDR Technologies: Ongoing research and development efforts are leading to technological advancements in carbon removal methods. Improved efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of CDR technologies contribute to their wider adoption and growth in the market.   Increasing Corporate Sustainability Initiatives: Many companies are adopting sustainability goals and committing to achieving net-zero emissions. As part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, businesses are investing in CDR technologies to offset their carbon footprint, contributing to the overall growth of the market.”   Active carbon companies in the markets this week include: BluSky Carbon Inc. (CSE: BSKY) (OTCQB: BSKCF), SLB (NYSE: SLB), DevvStream Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: DSTRF) (NEO: DESG), Base Carbon Inc. (OTCQX: BCBNF) (NEO: BCBN), LanzaTech Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNZA).

Custom Marketing Insights continued: “Rising Investments and Funding: The CDR market is witnessing increased investments from both public and private sectors. Governments, venture capital firms, and major corporations are allocating funds to support research, development, and implementation of carbon removal technologies, fostering market growth.   Emergence of Carbon Offset Markets: The development of carbon offset markets, where entities can buy and sell carbon credits, provides financial incentives for the deployment of CDR technologies. This market dynamic encourages the adoption of carbon removal solutions as a means for businesses to offset their emissions and comply with regulatory requirements, thereby driving market growth.”

BluSky Carbon Inc. (CSE: BSKY) (OTCQB: BSKCF) Commences Biochar Production in Arkansas - BluSky Carbon Inc. (FWB: QE4 /WKN A401NM) (“BluSky” or the “Company”), an innovative entry into the carbon removal clean technology sector is very pleased to announce that it has commenced production of biochar at a dedicated facility in Arkansas. The event marks the official startup of initial biochar production aimed at servicing the recently announced $105 million, ten-year supply agreement (see Company news release dated Sept 24, 2024) (“Supply Agreement”).

A video showing the equipment start-up and providing some insights into the facility, the region, and BluSky’s strategic plan is available here.

The startup of the Vulcan Heavy system at this location represents the first of three units required to service the totality of the Supply Agreement. Once the other two units are procured and fully operational (see news release dated September 24, 2024), these machines are expected to produce a combined output of approximately 40,000 tons of biochar annually. It is also expected that production byproducts such as bio-oil and syngas may help reduce the Company’s overall production costs by providing some of the energy required to power the Vulcan systems, potentially along with surplus power capacity to contribute towards operating BluSky’s related carbon removal technologies (CDR) including its Medusa Carbon mineralization process and Kronos Direct Air Carbon Capture technology.

The inaugural production plant has been dedicated as “AR1“ and is located at 110 Industrial Park Drive in Warren, Arkansas. The facility consists of a multi-room 50,000 sq/ft enclosure located on an 8.54-acre property. Warren services an established sustainable timber industry with a strong presence in the town and surrounding area. Nearby softwood wood chip production (mostly yellow pine) serves as a nearly limitless source of clean biomass feedstock for the BluSky Vulcan Heavy pyrolysis systems.

BluSky CEO Will Hessert comments, “The facility is ideally suited for scalability. We have ample room for the three Vulcan Heavy units as required to service our initial regional contract, with additional room to double that production without the need to create more space. The property itself is large and well suited to handle industrial scale logistics and storage needs.”   CONTINUED… Read this full press release and more news for BluSky Carbon at:   https://bluskycarbon.com/news/
