BluSky Carbon Launches Biochar Production Facility in Arkansas

BluSky Carbon Inc. has initiated biochar production at its new facility in Warren, Arkansas. This marks the beginning of a significant ten-year supply contract valued at $105 million. The Warren plant hosts the first of three Vulcan Heavy systems intended to fulfill the agreement's requirements. The equipment is anticipated to produce up to 40,000 tons of biochar annually once fully operational. Additionally, byproducts like bio-oil and syngas may help reduce production costs by powering these systems.

Located on an 8.54-acre property, the facility benefits from proximity to a sustainable timber industry, providing abundant biomass feedstock. The CEO, Will Hessert, highlighted the scalability offered by the site's ample space and its strong logistical advantages. The plant also aims to support local employment, drawing from the skilled workforce available in the area.
