Charm Industrial

Getting biomass ready for the reactor isn’t straightforward. From the edge of a field or log pile, it moves through transport, grinding, drying, and final prep—each step designed to reduce cost and energy use. Mark Hamann walks through the process:

Last week, we shared a simple idea: Our team is often the first connection in a community. Here’s what that looks like in practice—engagement starts early and continues throughout. Because meaningful scale requires meaningful engagement. charmindustrial.com/blog/early-mea…

We’re not saying running a carbon removal company feels like a game… …but we did make one 🤣 Started as an April Fools joke. Now we can’t stop playing it. CharmVille is live. Think you can make it work? charmindustrial.github.io/charmville/

Turns out we’re good at BBQ. Underground and above ground. Russell and the Charm team took 3rd in two categories (out of 63 entries) at a local competition. We’re proud to support them. More on that soon.

Proud to be included in the 2030 Portfolio by @Isometric_HQ and @cur8earth . A strong group of projects helping move durable carbon removal forward. More here: cur8.earth/isometric-2030…

Not all learning happens behind a screen. This week’s Lunch & Learn was hands-on—learning welding fundamentals by building a steel cube that spells Charm. Different topics, same goal: understanding the systems we’re building.

We’ve joined WBCSD to collaborate on the harder side of industrial decarbonization—across steel, cement, fuels, and more. Turning waste biomass into permanent carbon removal is just the start. Excited to build alongside this group of climate leaders.

Meet the Professor of Steel (our very own Brian Jamieson). What started as a simple explanation turned into Steel School—a series breaking down how carbon removal, steel and other industrial processes actually work. Catch up here 👇 youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Inventory sounds simple. Until it’s piles of logs and bales with no consistent shape, density, or ground surface. We’re using AI + computer vision to make biomass measurable in the real world. charmindustrial.com/blog/biomass-i…

Paper logs and clipboards used to run parts of Charm’s operations. Now it’s thousands of telemetry streams flowing across a distributed network of pyrolyzers and injection sites. Carbon removal infrastructure turns out to be a data problem too. charmindustrial.com/blog/automatio…

Raw biomass is messy. Logs, bales, chips, stalks — all with different moisture, density, and composition. Before it ever reaches a reactor, all of that has to become consistent feedstock. Turns out… that’s harder than it sounds. charmindustrial.com/blog/feeding-t…

Big week for the Charm Duo! 👯‍♀️ Record injections + one of our largest biochar shipments yet. Excited to deliver our next batch of credits to customers this month.

Time to pyrolyze those old paper processes. Charm’s gone digital. What used to be handwritten logs and clipboards are now thousands of telemetry streams across a distributed pyrolysis network. How we built the infrastructure behind it ↓ charmindustrial.com/blog/automatio…

Great conversation with Jessica Livingston and Carolynn Levy about building companies across very different industries — from Segment to Charm Industrial.

Meet Kenny. He helps ensure our work is done right — every time. “The most rewarding part is knowing we’re really trying to help the environment.” 🎥 #MeetTheCharmers

At Charm, we like our engineers to be C Students. Carbon. Capacity. Consistency. Cost reduction in CDR isn’t magic — it’s disciplined execution. Our latest field update outlines a path toward >95% unit cost reduction from our pilot baseline. Read more: charmindustrial.com/blog/learnings…

From Iowa State research to field-deployed systems. Our latest generation of autothermal fluidized bed reactors: • 3x biomass throughput • Lower energy requirements • Improved bio oil quality Built to operate where biomass is grown. 🎥 Watch: youtu.be/yCiNF4Wemv0

Bad news: operating our machines is getting boring. Good news: operating our machines is getting boring. 30,000+ runtime hours and counting. That’s what progress looks like in early climate infrastructure.

Super Bowl greatness happens in a night. Real greatness is built over thousands of hours. Durable carbon removal is no different — it takes engineers, operators, and problem-solvers working together every day → charmindustrial.com/blog/the-bigho…
