By nature, plants and trees are our best allies against carbon emissions.

On top of breathing out oxygen, they capture CO2 during photosynthesis, keeping the world in balance.

However, when they decay, the carbon they stored is released back into the atmosphere.

We knew that energy was critical.

Thats why we started with the power of nature, reads the company’s website.

Drying the biomass eliminates microbes, and impermeable barriers prevent water and gas from restarting the decomposition process.

Graphyte’s solution is a LEGO-like brick that can be buried underground and later tracked.

The company then dries it to eliminate microbes, stopping decomposition.

Once ready, they are equipped with a sensor and placed 10 feet underground.

The sites where their blocks are placed can be used as solar farms or working agricultural land.
