Aperam: first sales of biochar on the Patch platform

(CercleFinance.com) - Aperam announced on Tuesday that it had kicked off its partnership with carbon credit trading platform Patch with the sale of 15,000 metric tons of carbon-removing biochar.


Aperam BioEnergia, the Brazilian subsidiary of its recycling and renewables business, said it had initially sold 8,500 metric tons on the trading platform to buyers in January, followed by 6,500 metric tons in March.

The stainless steel specialist's biochar comes from charcoal produced by its own certified forestry operations in the Jequitinhonha Valley.

This substance - which results from the heating of organic agricultural or forestry waste without oxygen - enables carbon to be stored outside the atmosphere for hundreds, even thousands of years.
