Description

EWS's goal is to provide environmental and also profitable solutions to current inefficient, costly and environmentally damaging waste management challenges. In Canada, most forestry and municipal green waste is either burnt, buried or landfilled. The transformation of these wastes into a high-carbon, stable biochar sequesters carbon for hundreds of years, supplies renewable energy and creates jobs for local communities. 


Located on Yale First Nation land, Emergent Waste Solutions' plant transforms about 3000 mtons of green wastes into biochar with one mission in mind: reverse human impact on the planet. The project's goal is to integrate as many sustainable synergies as possible in forestry, agriculture and energy. This plant is only the first of many planned. It is being finalized to start operating in Q4 2021. Our project has many partners, including the Yale First Nation which is key to the success of this venture.


EWS is looking for partners who believe that our actions can lead to better practices and a healthy synergy with the environment to build new projects and contribute to the existing one. We believe that we can't solve this climate crisis alone, which is we are planning to integrate solar energy system and storage for plant start-up in our next projects. We want to offer these solutions for remote areas such as First Nation land to promote efficient waste management. EWS has the commercially-proven technology that will allow these projects to move forward and also scale rapidly.

Understanding the project

This project has vintage years. This means the year in which the credits were issued, corresponding to the tons of CO2 avoided or captured in that same year by the project.


This project has a removal mechanism. This means taking steps to remove or reduce harmful emissions from the atmosphere.


This project type is Biochar. This means producing a special kind of charcoal made from plants (heating the biomass without oxygen, in a process known as pyrolysis) that can be applied to soil enhancing soil fertility while storing carbon for a longer period. The biochar carbon credits are generated by measuring how much carbon is trapped in the soil when biochar is used.


Carbon standard. This means a set of rules and criterias used to measure, report and verify the emissions reductions or removals from a specific project or activity. Carbon standards are essential in carbon markets, as they provide a transparent and consistent methodology for determining the number of carbon credits that can be issued to project developers.
