About TerraNusa Biochar

TerraNusa Biochar is the biochar division of PT Nusantara Karbon Lestari, building on over 15 years of coconut-shell charcoal manufacturing and export experience across more than 20 countries. From our facility in Magelang, Central Java, we transform renewable coconut shells — plus palm kernel shells and wood residue — into high-quality, carbon-negative biochar.

Coconut-shell feedstock delivers exceptional fixed carbon, low ash, and a stable aromatic carbon structure, making it a premium choice for both soil enhancement and durable carbon dioxide removal. We combine deep feedstock knowledge with controlled pyrolysis and rigorous, lab-verified quality control to serve agriculture and carbon-removal buyers across Europe, North America, and beyond.

Indonesia is the world's leading exporter of coconut-shell charcoal — roughly 37% of global shipments — giving our supply chain unmatched scale and traceability.

Backed by an established charcoal export operation with proven logistics, international compliance, and long-standing supplier relationships.

Feedstock Science

Why Coconut Shell Makes Premium Biochar

Feedstock determines quality. Coconut shell is a dense, lignin-rich biomass that carbonizes into biochar with high fixed carbon, low ash, and a stable aromatic carbon structure — the properties that matter most for soil performance and durable carbon storage.

How carbonization temperature shapes biochar

Property~350 °C~600 °C
Fixed Carbon~45%~79%
Total Carbon~73%~83%
Volatile Matter~50%~13%
Ash~4.6%~8.2%

Higher pyrolysis temperatures drive a more aromatic, carbon-stable structure (lower H/Corg) — which is why we target 550–700°C.

Coconut Shell

High fixed carbon, low ash, high stability, regular pore structure — premium for soil + CDR.

Palm Kernel Shell

High fixed carbon, good porosity, slightly higher ash — strong cost-effective secondary.

Wood Residue

Uniform, ~75% fixed carbon — widely accepted soil amendment.

Values reflect typical published ranges for these feedstocks; final product values are confirmed per batch.

Coconut Shell — Agriculture Grade

High WHC & CEC, pre-charged option, targeting EBC-Agro.

Coconut Shell — Carbon Removal Grade

Max fixed carbon, low H/Corg, aligned with Puro.earth & Verra VM0044, ~2–3 t CO₂ stored/tonne.

Palm Kernel Shell Biochar

High fixed carbon, cost-effective.

Wood Residue Biochar

Uniform, ~75% fixed carbon.

Certification-grade parameters are confirmed by third-party laboratory analysis; certification is in progress.

What H/Corg means

The hydrogen-to-organic-carbon (H/Corg) molar ratio is the international proxy for biochar permanence. The European Biochar Certificate requires H/Corg < 0.7; premium carbon-removal tiers (e.g., Isometric agricultural soils) require < 0.5. Coconut-shell biochar's naturally low H/Corg suits durable carbon storage.

Carbon Removal

Biochar: The World's Leading Durable Carbon Removal

~86%

of all durable carbon-dioxide-removal deliveries in 2024 came from biochar — the most-delivered durable CDR method.

CDR.fyi · industry data, 2024–2025

2–3 t

CO₂-equivalent locked away per tonne of biochar, for centuries.

industry data, 2024–2025

100,000 t

of biochar carbon removal contracted by Google in 2025 from a single supplier. Buyers also include Microsoft, BCG and JPMorgan.

~US$150

per tonne CO₂ — typical price of biochar carbon-removal credits in 2025.

industry data, 2024–2025

Pyrolysis converts labile plant carbon into a stable, aromatic form that resists decomposition. Carbon that would have returned to the atmosphere is locked into a durable solid — then quantified, verified, and sold as carbon-removal credits. Permanence is governed by the H/Corg ratio, where coconut-shell biochar excels.

Sustainability

Carbon-Negative by Design

Durable Carbon Removal

~2–3 t CO₂e locked per tonne for centuries.

Circular Economy

Upcycles coconut shells, an agricultural byproduct.

Deforestation-Free Feedstock

Renewable plantation byproduct, not forest timber, traceable.

Healthier Soils

Water retention, nutrient efficiency, less runoff.

CO₂ figures are confirmed per batch by laboratory analysis and life-cycle assessment.
