Restoring Oklahoma's Carbon Loop
LESS LANDFILL.
MORE LOCAL
WEALTH.
We transform Oklahoma's 2 million tons of annual wood waste into valuable biochar products through proven pyrolysis technology—creating multiple revenue streams while permanently sequestering carbon.
WE CONTROL THE
ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN
Vertical integration creates structural advantages that competitors can't match—from negative cost basis to proven technology to established market access.
COLLECT
StormCo Waste Solutions provides internal feedstock control. We get paid through tipping fees while competitors pay for raw materials.
CONVERT
Proven GRD pyrolysis reactor with operational history in Colorado. Relocating to Oklahoma reduces initial capital while maintaining reliability.
COMMERCIALIZE
Four established revenue streams with strong market relationships across agriculture, oil & gas, and environmental sectors.
StormCo Waste Solutions provides feedstock at construction sites across Oklahoma
THE STRUCTURAL ADVANTAGE
OKLAHOMA GENERATES
2M TONS
OF WOOD WASTE ANNUALLY
Currently burned or landfilled—massive environmental and economic waste in our own backyard.
Landscaping & Tree Services
Operations across Oklahoma generating consistent waste streams
Land Clearing
Development and agriculture creating large volumes of biomass
Eastern Red Cedar Removal
State-funded initiative providing guaranteed feedstock supply
THE ECONOMIC LOSS
Trapped carbon that could be transformed into valuable products is being wasted. Millions in potential revenue and carbon credits lost annually.
PROVEN PYROLYSIS
TECHNOLOGY
We heat wood waste to create solid carbon—no burning, no emissions. The GRD reactor has operational history in Colorado with documented performance.
HOW IT WORKS
Input
Wood waste, tree debris, agricultural biomass
Process
Heat to 400-600°C in controlled, low-oxygen chamber
Outputs
Solid biochar (60-70%), liquid bio-oils (20-30%), gases (10-15%)
Energy
Gases recycled to power reactor—reducing external energy costs
THE GRD REACTOR
Proven Track Record
Operational history in Colorado with documented performance data
De-Risked Technology
Not experimental—established operational data significantly reduces execution risk
Scalable Design
Processes 25-50 tons of biomass per day with consistent output quality
THREE PRODUCT CATEGORIES,
FOUR REVENUE STREAMS
Diversified revenue model reduces market risk and creates multiple pathways to profitability.
Solid Carbon Products
- •Biochar: Soil enhancement for agriculture, landscaping, golf courses
- •Activated Carbon: Water/air purification (potential with post-processing)
- •Graphene: Advanced materials (future opportunity with additional processing)
Liquid Carbon Products
- •Bio-oils/Pyrolysis Oil: Industrial applications, chemical feedstock
- •Market Interest: Strong interest from oil & gas sector (Stuck Enterprises/Jacobs Petro exploring offtake)
Energy & Credits
- •Gases: Recycled back into facility to power operations, reducing energy costs
- •Carbon Credits: Permanent carbon sequestration eligible for high-value credits
Four Revenue Streams
TIPPING FEES
We get paid to acquire our raw materials while competitors pay $50-100/ton for feedstock.
SOLID CARBON
Biochar to agriculture, landscaping, golf courses, regenerative farming. Established market relationships through Farm Bureau and Monsanto connections.
LIQUID CARBON
Bio-oils to industrial buyers. Strong interest from oil & gas sector (Stuck Enterprises/Jacobs Petro exploring offtake). Letters of intent in place.
CARBON CREDITS
Permanent sequestration credits as market matures. Biochar responsible for 89% of global carbon capture in 2024. Growing corporate demand (10,000+ companies committed to carbon neutral by 2030).
Diversification Reduces Risk: Even if one stream underperforms, three others provide revenue stability. This is not a single-product business—it's a multi-faceted carbon transformation platform.
PERFECT MARKET TIMING
Multiple tailwinds create a unique window of opportunity to establish Oklahoma as the Midwest's biochar hub.
Market Dominance
Biochar responsible for 89% of global carbon capture in 2024—permanent sequestration solution
Corporate Demand
Companies committed to carbon neutral by 2030, creating massive demand for credits
Federal Support
$11B for American farming + $700M for regenerative agriculture (RFK partnership, 2025)
Regulatory Momentum
Standardization effective Nov 2025, USDA Nationwide Atlas launching 2026 (Dr. Trippe)
Market Gap
No biochar production in the Midwest—first-mover advantage to establish regional hub
State Support
Government-funded initiative to remove Eastern Red Cedars (abundant feedstock supply)
