Weyerhaeuser and Aymium have formed a joint venture to produce 1.5 million tons of sustainable biocarbon annually for the metals industry, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

Information on the Target

Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY), a leading name in the timber industry, has partnered with Aymium to produce 1.5 million tons of sustainable biocarbon annually, primarily aimed at metals production. The collaboration has led to the establishment of TerraForge Biocarbon Solutions, a joint venture that will develop a facility in McComb, Mississippi. This facility will utilize a combustion-free and low-emissions process to convert wood fiber into biocarbon, leveraging Weyerhaeuser's vast timber resources.

The partnership between Weyerhaeuser and Aymium is set to redefine biomass conversion. The technology employed is designed not only to replace coal and coke in metal production but to do so without requiring any capital investment or modification of existing processes. As a renewable alternative, biocarbon will serve as a significant player in reducing the carbon footprint of the metals industry.
