Metals + Organics Removal
Glanris’ Biocarbon media is an eco-friendly and low-cost alternative to existing filtration solutions.
Glanris’ Biocarbon possesses the novel dual functionality to remove both organic and metal contaminants from water and wastewater.
Typical activated carbon can remove organics but doesn’t do much for dissolved metals. And did you know that most activated carbon used today is made from coal? Yikes. Then to remove metals, many people use ion exchange resin beads, a petroleum-based microplastic — we have the same functionality as this environmentally persistent pollutant.

Sequestration
Lock it in.
Think of carbon sequestration like locking precious items in a safe deposit box.
How? Let’s look at the Carbon Cycle.
The Carbon Cycle is a closed loop system — meaning no carbon is ever created or destroyed. But atmospheric CO2 and greenhouse gasses (GHGs) are wrecking its delicate equilibrium. It’s no mistake we’re made with rice husks - it’s the world’s largest agricultural waste with a whopping 220+ billion pounds of it produced annually around the globe that currently are burned to rot — emitting gigatons of GHGs annually.
Glanris’ technology has the power to make a big dent on removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
We locked the carbon inside husks and made it resistant to degradation or combustion. Effectively removing this carbon from the cycle means we have eliminated its atmospheric CO2 contribution.
Glanris’ biochar could be the fastest route to meaningfully scale carbon sequestration → learn more.

Cement + Concrete
Cement or concrete producers wanting to green up your product and differentiate yourself with customers looking for sustainable alternatives?
Eco-friendly cement/concrete
Glanris has worked with several major universities on developing a formulary for substituting rice hull biocarbon for cement. One major university found that a substitution of up to 30% of the cement for our biocarbon could reduce the carbon footprint by 69%. It also increased the compression strength from 7,326 psi in the control to 13,233 psi. Because of its high silica content, our biocarbon also makes a good replacement for up to 40% of the aggregate. Our greener concrete can be used for pavers, walkways, and nonstructural pads — and it may even qualify for LEED points.
From concrete pavers to lane dividers, our biocarbon can reduce the carbon footprint, improve the strength, and lighten the weight of concrete.

Soil
Biochar dates back thousands of years to indigenous Amazonian people’s practice of adding carbon-rich additives like low-temperature charcoal, bones, and pottery shards to soil — adding this mixture to soil created extremely fertile and nutrient-rich soil.
Centuries of research prove that biochar:
→ Provides long-term water retention since it doesn’t break down
→ Helps soil retain nutrients
→ Removes contaminants from soil
Farmers, ranchers and forest landowners:
The USDA is offering incentive payments to implement biochar through several NRCS Conservation Programs:
