About the Company

Arbor Energy

BiCRS-based CO2 removal credits provider

Arbor Energy removes CO2 from the atmosphere using Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS), combining natural carbon drawdown with engineered steps to ensure permanent storage. Biomass naturally pulls CO2 from the air, and Arbor couples this with engineered storage, selling carbon removal credits and securing multi-year offtake agreements with governments and organizations. The approach differs by pairing natural drawdown with engineered permanence and by offering two predictable revenue streams—carbon credits and long-term contracts—while prioritizing energy security and integration of nature into urban spaces. Its goal is to remove more than 2 gigatons of CO2 per year by 2050, advancing legacy-emission reduction and global decarbonization.
