What is the Biocarbon Imperative?
With carbon dioxide now over 390 parts per million, scientists are

“safe operating space for humanity.” Read more.
Why the Northwest?
The Northwest has what it takes to develop catalytic, world-class initiatives to build the biocarbon economy.
To learn more about biocarbon solutions and see them in action, meet our Innovation Partners and find out how their projects increase the
capacity of the planet to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and view our videos of some Northwest biocarbon leaders.
