Terraton Information

Terraton is a full-stack biochar platform that finances, builds, and operates carbon removal facilities around the world. Agribusinesses already collect crop waste like cocoa pod husks and nut shells as part of processing. A Terraton facility turns that waste into biochar, which stores carbon for hundreds of years. An independent registry verifies the carbon removed, and Terraton sells it as carbon removal credits. Every facility runs on the same system: one design, vetted equipment, proven operating procedures, and smart facility management software that tracks feedstock, production, and equipment in real time. What one facility learns goes into the next, so each new facility is faster to build. Terraton lines up financing and handles verification and credit sales, so operators can add a second line of business with no carbon expertise required. Carbon buyers get one supplier across many facilities, with production records and lab tests visible for each site. Financiers can back many facilities as one portfolio, because each site shares the same design and reporting. Terraton was founded by Kevin Gibbs, Greg D’Alesandre, and Nat Robinson, whose earlier work includes Google App Engine, Quip, Dandelion Chocolate, and Leaf. Investors include Lowercarbon Capital, Gigascale Capital, ANA Future Fund, and JR East.
