Our carbon capture solutions
A BIT OF HISTORY
At the start of our solutions, a principle known since centuries: wood charcoal.
Wood charcoal production process is known since centuries. First treaces of wood charcoal have been discovered in archeological sites dated from Bronze Age in Europe. Our current civilization recently rediscovered the usage of biochar as soil amendment, also known as the concept of "Terra Preta".
This concept refers to black soils, highly fertile, which exist in regions of Amazonia. These soils were shaped by indigenous people, thousands of years ago by adding biochar into poor nutrient soils.
Usin Biochar as soil amendment is a sustainable method to improve soil quality, increase yield, improve water scarcity resilience and decrease greenhouse gases emissions.

OUR RAW MATERIAL
Wood: A unique and multipurposes resource
All the wood we use is local. Depending on the production cycle we will use: hardwood, softwood, pulpwood, industrial wood, wildfire wood, pruning wood, bark beetle wood and recycled wood. In all cases, we will use by-products from the wood industry coming from sustainable forests. In France, we harvest about 60% of the yearly natural growth of our forests, which allows french forest to continuously grow by 1% every year. It is detrimental to maintain that sustainable practice to avoid deforestation and maintain a renewable resource.
Miraïa's process allows to trap for thousands of years, the carbon existing within trees.
PYROLYSIS
Extracting the best elements through pyrolysis
This reaction does not generate fumes nor scents as all component are used within our process.
From this reaction we collect three outputs, Biochar, Bio-Oils, and synthetic gases. The pyrolysis reaction allows to convert woody biomass in a carbonated material: the Biochar!

CO2 Sequestration and Carbon Dioxide Removal
Offsetting residual CO2 emissions using a process that is truly virtuous for the planet is the challenge facing all companies wishing to achieve towards carbon neutrality.
Producing renewable energy
Our continuous pyrolysis technology enables us to produce renewable energy, at the heart of the region we are implemented, without intermittence.
Depending on the needs, our plants will produce heat and/or electricity.
