Empacar launches CarbonX to scale biochar carbon removal in Bolivia
Empacar S.A. has launched CarbonX, a new business unit, to enter the voluntary carbon market by scaling biochar carbon removal in Bolivia. Supported by BioFlux, the initiative aims to remove approximately 70,000 tonnes of CO2e annually through pyrolysis operations in the Guarayos region. The project will utilise low-value woody residues from local sawmills, addressing challenges in equipment validation and regulatory frameworks for biochar in Latin America. CarbonX is developing an audit-ready framework targeting Puro.earth methodology standards and plans to use local agricultural soil application for its biochar.
