Lauren Breynaert: MYNO Carbon | Waste Wood to Climate Solution | Episode 101

How can we repurpose waste products of the timber industry to capture carbon, improve soil, and generate electricity? In this episode of Conservation Connection, we dive into the world of carbon sequestration with Lauren Breynaert, the Public Affairs Director of MYNO Carbon! MYNO Carbon is a recent startup with an innovative process which transforms waste biomass, including timber residuals and agricultural waste, into biochar – a highly porous material that sequesters carbon for up to a thousand years. Lauren shares how biochar supports regenerative agriculture, reduces carbon emissions, and fosters growth in timber economies. Biochar improves water retention and soil health, and can filter toxins in stormwater infrastructure. On top of all theses positive benefits, MYNO Carbon is partnering with power utilities to convert the waste heat from their manufacturing process into electricity that can power thousands of homes! Tune in to discover this remarkable carbon removal solution and its multi-faceted impact.
