Project Summary / Description:

Carbon Smart Technologies
Titan is simultaneously revolutionizing waste management and combatting climate change. Our company leverages the power of our proprietary slow pyrolysis technology to convert biomass waste into sequestered carbon and environmentally friendly products, including activated carbon, bio-plastics, and biofuels. 

The world is grappling with two major challenges: the pressing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the urgent need for sustainable bioproducts. Our innovative approach addresses both of these concerns head-on. 

Slow pyrolysis, a cutting-edge thermal decomposition process, sequesters three tonnes of carbon dioxide for every tonne of carbon production. We convert biomass waste into value-added bioproducts while simultaneously sequestering carbon. By harnessing slow pyrolysis, we can transform agricultural residues, forestry waste, and other organic matter into biochar, a stable carbon-rich material that effectively stores carbon dioxide for centuries. Unlike traditional waste disposal methods, slow pyrolysis prevents the release of harmful greenhouse gases, significantly reducing our carbon footprint. 

Our business model combines environmental sustainability with economic viability. By partnering with major global industrial and agricultural companies, we secure a consistent supply of biomass waste while reducing disposal costs for our partners. Additionally, the versatile range of marketable products derived from slow pyrolysis creates multiple revenue streams, ensuring a strong return on investment. 

Join us on this transformative journey towards a greener, more sustainable future. Together, we can mitigate climate change, revolutionize waste management, and unlock the tremendous potential of slow pyrolysis.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

Our project removes carbon through pyrogenic carbon capture. Biomass such as trees and plants remove C02 from the atmosphere as they grow, but as soon as a plant or tree decomposes or burns, the sequestered carbon is re-released into the atmosphere. Our process uses renewable energy to stabilize the carbon but interrupting the process through pyrolysis. The carbon in the biomass is converted into a solid that will not decay, thereby continuing the sequestration indefinitely. 

This carbon can then be improved with our activation unit to give the biocarbon a high surface area, thereby making it ideas for air and water filtration products.  It is an ideal ingredient in bioplastics and bioplastic additives will gives the product strength, UV protection and color, and even be used s a livestock nutrition product to help aid in ruminants digestion for a reduction in methane production and gut health.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our team is put together from a broad range of age, experience, education and skill sets. We are based in a small town, and even though was have a relatively compact team, we are one of the biggest employers in our community. 

One of our three core managers/owners is a woman- Michele has been with us since Titan established operations in 2008, and we have worked closely with a local transgender designer and entrepreneur on several projects. We have aboriginal staff and have hired people from Ukraine, India and Africa as well as across central and western Canada.
