What role can biochar play in advancing safe, scalable climate and remediation solutions? In the third episode of ‘The Shift’ webcast, Myno Carbon’ CEO, Thor Kallestad speaks with Dr. Debbie Aller. of Cornell University to explore what role can biochar play sin...
What would remediation look like if it delivered land renewal instead of just containment and compliance? Environmental remediation has traditionally been a zero-sum game. You remove contaminants, contain risk, and walk away. The job is considered done when pollution is under control, even if the...
When most people hear biochar, they picture fields and farms. But a shift is underway that reframes biochar as a functional material for industrial-scale climate solutions. From cement and roads to energy infrastructure, biochar is beginning to prove its value not only by storing carbon,...
In the very first ‘The Shift’ webcast episode, Myno Carbon’s CEO, Thor Kallestad, and Kathleen Draper, Emeritus Chair of the International Biochar Initiative and Director of the Ithaka Institute for Carbon Intelligence, share how biochar is delivering impact now. Pyrolysis + biochar are opening new...

Wave Rider. Soil Systems Thinker. Pragmatic Changemaker. Dr. Jim Ippolito doesn’t describe his career as a straight line, but as a series of waves. From early soil science to nearly two decades of biochar research, he’s stayed where the science meets real-world impact. Today, his work focuses on...
What if land remediation could unlock new potential? Myno Carbon’s approach goes beyond removal, it’s about restoration with returns with our Biochar 3.0 solutions. Too often, remediation is seen as a cost center and a necessary burden to manage risk and meet compliance. Contaminated sites are...
Biochar Maven, Systems Thinker & Hope Carrier. When Kathleen Draper first encountered biochar, it wasn’t at a conference or a lab....

Myno Carbon’s Biochar 3.0 transforms remediation from costly containment to tailored restoration. Communities gain cleaner soil, restored ecosystems, and renewed land value sooner. Across North America, the scars of extraction are visible. Petroleum spills, mining runoff, and persistent hydrocarbon contamination represent a legacy of environmental harm...
