About Diacarbon

We are a Canadian company using patent-pending technology to convert common biomass into feasible and carbon-neutral fuel with the aim of helping our community, the business sector, and of course, our planet. [read more]

Our Technology

Our revolutionary biomass refinery is the key to what we can achieve. Our refineries are energy-independent and portable, allowing for the use of otherwise inaccessible biomass waste that would normally decompose or end up in landfills. [read more]

Investment Opportunities

Diacarbon Energy employs a business model that involves abundant, and yet cheap (or free), raw materials and a huge target market. As such, Diacarbon Energy represents an incredible investment opportunity. [read more]

So What Are We All About?

World Energy Demand
Projection 2007 to 2035

The world energy demands have been and will be rising steadily. This has resulted in a corresponding increase in the demand for fossil fuels burned, and this demand will continue to increase in the future.

Where Electricity for Homes,
Offices and Factories come from

Look past the “green craze” such as electric cars, and see the real picture - producing household and industrial electricity is still the greatest energy demand our society has.
Unfortunately, over 50% of the everyday electricity North America consumes still comes from coal, the dirtiest energy source we possess.

Imagine..

If we can start converting portions of this coal consumption to carbon-neutral biochar!

Coal consumption is inevitable for the decades to come in order to meet increasing demands. Our technology aims to reduce the consumption of “dirty” coal, and increase portions of carbon-neutral charcoal that we can produce from bio waste.
Combustion of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Since these fuels are not part of the natural carbon cycle, this results in a net increase in greenhouse gases.
Biomass, such as dead trees and plants, decompose into greenhouse gases as part of the natural carbon cycle. This cycle eventually assimilates the greenhouse gases into biomass.
Our pyrolysis technology converts biomass into charcoal, bio-oil and synthesis gas. These products can be used in the place of fossil fuels.
For example, these alternate fuels can be used to generate energy for households, offices, and industrial purposes.
The greenhouse gases produced from these alternate fuels is returned to the carbon cycle. The process is completely carbon neutral.
Alternatively, the charcoal can be buried or used as a soil treatment resulting in a net decrease of carbon in the biosphere and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Our process achieves complete carbon-neutrality by diverting biomass carbon and inserting an energy conversion step. This occurs without disturbing the natural carbon cycle of our planet.

Who can Diacarbon Help?

Our technology benefits the business sector by providing them with carbon-neutral energy - a huge advantage in the new era of carbon credits.
We can help reduce our carbon footprint, and alleviate some of the pressure that our environment has been under with the heavy demand for natural resources.
Diacarbon's technology also helps our community by taking a load off of waste management while providing a close-by source of carbon-neutral fuels.
Diacarbon truly provides a win-win & win situation for all of us with this new technology - a practical and realistic approach to our energy problem!
