About The Carbon trap project

A Grass-Roots Community to Permanently Sequester Atmospheric Carbon

The Carbon Trap Project is dedicated to developing and supporting simple, safe methods for individuals to permanently sequester carbon that nature has scrubbed from the atmosphere.

Nature has the plants. We have the numbers. There's strength in numbers!

Nature's Role

Nature is quite good at scrubbing carbon from the air for photosynthesis of leaves, grass, twigs, food, etc. (plant biomass), but poor at sequestering it, releasing 95% back into the air. We let nature scrub the atmosphere for us.

Community's Role

We then enhance nature's carbon sequestration efficiency by using renewable energy to lock up 50% of this biomass carbon as charcoal where it is permanently sequestered in landfills.

There is strength in numbers!

A nature-community partnership to remove atmospheric carbon!

Our Mission

At the Carbon Trap Project, we believe ordinary people can achieve extraordinary impact — by working together to trap carbon, we create a lasting contribution to slowing climate change, one handful at a time.
