Bolivia-based company Exomad Green announced that it has wrapped up 2025 with the successful expansion of the operational capacity at its Riberalta biochar production site.
As shared in the announcement, the site has increased the capacity from three to six pyrolysis lines, projected to double the annual carbon capture capacity from 60,000 to 120,000 tonnes while raising the biochar production volume from 25,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year.
This expansion comes a year after Exomad initially built and commissioned the Riberalta site back in 2024, along with another biochar production facility located in Concepción.
In 2025, the company successfully expanded both of these facilities, making significant progress towards its end goal of scaling carbon removal to industrial levels.
Both of these facilities will now operate with doubled capacity, delivering carbon dioxide removal (CDR) results while also introducing additional green jobs to the local communities inhabiting these two Bolivian regions.
For Exomad Green, this milestone expansion follows a successful year in which the company established itself as the largest durable CDR supplier on the market, dominating theCDR.fyi leaderboard with its biochar volumes. So far, the company has captured nearly 300,000 tonnes of CO2.
These results were made possible through the company’s biochar production operations, in which sustainably sourced forestry residues are put through a pyrolysis process to create CO2-dense biochar.

This approach helps control the CO2 emissions from a biomass residue material that would otherwise be incinerated or left to decompose in open air, releasing carbon pollution into the atmosphere.
100% of the biochar produced through Exomad’s operations gets distributed free of charge to indigenous communities and local farmers, who use the product to restore degraded soils in their areas, helping improve the region’s agricultural resilience.
In mid-2025, Exomad announced that it has also started work on an ambitious new biochar production facility in Bolivia’s Guarayos Region, which is expected to become the world’s largest biochar plant once it comes fully online.
