Converting raw biochar into industrial biocarbon
Kore deploys the Kore-3500 at biochar production sites to refine raw biochar into consistent carbon materials for industrial applications.
How it works
Feedstock
Wood processors generate offcuts and other residues that can be used to make biochar.
Intermediate Material
Producers pyrolyze biomass residues into biochar to generate process heat and carbon-removal credits.
Finished Product
Kore deploys the Kore-3500 at existing producer sites to convert raw biochar into Kore Carbon.
What Kore sells
Biochar granules for industrial applications
Kore’s process combines controlled particle sizing, a carbon-rich binder, low-pressure forming, and thermal curing. The result is a durable carbon precursor for hard carbon and activated carbon.
Target specifications. Performance varies by feedstock and processing conditions.

How the Kore-3500 produces Kore Carbon
Where Kore Carbon is used
A consistent carbon product built to spec
Industrial buyers need consistent carbon materials, not variable raw biochar from dozens of individual producers. Kore is building the refining layer that turns distributed supply into specification-driven Kore Carbon.

In development
Horticultural Growing Media
Commercial growing media producers need biochar that works with existing handling and blending equipment. Kore Carbon delivers uniform, low-dust granules designed for these facilities.

In development
Water & Soil Treatment
The U.S. imported nearly 89,000 metric tons of activated carbon in 2024. Kore is developing Kore Carbon for water filtration and contaminated soil remediation, with the potential for a net-negative carbon footprint.

Future market
Industrial Gas Separation
Kore is exploring how Kore Carbon's retained microporosity can support the production of carbon molecular sieves for nitrogen generation and gas purification.
