Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in helping businesses and landowners participate in high-integrity carbon removal solutions.

Our three main service areas are:

1. Carbon offset credits – We help businesses reduce or offset their carbon footprint via verified projects and credits.
2. Biochar production and sales – We convert organic waste into biochar, a long-lasting carbon‐sequestering material, which also supports soil health and regenerative agriculture.
3. Farmer / landowner programs – We partner with farmland owners to deploy proprietary plants or crops that capture carbon (and/or convert into biochar), creating new income for landowners while removing atmospheric CO₂.

Working with DCC means you’re partnering with a company that:

• Has over 25 years of combined industry experience in carbon markets and sustainable agriculture.
• Offers solutions based on science and measurable outcomes rather than “generic” tree-based credits.
• Uses high-integrity approaches—including our proprietary plant-based direct air capture (DAC) systems and biochar production—to provide additionality (i.e., carbon removal that wouldn’t have happened without our projects).
• Helps with reporting, transparency and corporates’ sustainability goals (Scope 1/2/3 emissions).

Additionality means that a carbon removal or reduction would not have occurred without the project’s financial support or intervention. If a project would have happened anyway, the credits don’t represent real emissions reduction.

At DCC, we ensure our projects meet additionality standards by using technologies and practices that are not business-as-usual, such as biochar conversion, plant-based DAC, and regenerative farming on previously underutilized land.

Plant-based Direct Air Capture (DAC): Instead of using high-energy mechanical systems, we use specialized high-carbon-sequestering plants to pull CO₂ from the air or soil. The biomass is then converted into biochar (or otherwise sequestered) ensuring permanence.

Biochar: We take organic biomass and process it via pyrolysis to convert it into biochar. That biochar is extremely stable and locks carbon away for centuries when applied to soil.

Credibility is critical. At DCC we focus on:

• Using well-documented, science-based methods (e.g., peer-reviewed agricultural trials) in partnership with universities.
• Ensuring permanence: Biochar, for example, is stable and avoids risks typical of tree-based offsets (e.g., fire, disease).
• Transparent monitoring: We track carbon capture/ sequestration metrics, often via real-time data tools.
• Additionality: Ensuring the project would not have occurred without the funding/credits that we provide. (See Additionality Question above)

Our clients range from large-scale enterprises (including Fortune 500 companies) down to medium-sized organizations. We design solutions that scale based on the size and needs of the client.

• We’ll perform a carbon footprint assessment (if you’re a business) to determine your emissions baseline and identify reduction vs. offset opportunities.
• We’ll then present a tailored proposal and guide you through the verification/contracting process.
• For landowners/farmers: We’ll review your acreage, suitability for our program, and determine whether you’ll plant/harvest vs. fully outsource to us.

Our North American headquarters is in Chesaning, Michigan (15403 Sharon Rd, Chesaning, MI 48616, USA).

We also have an Asia-Pacific office in Tokyo (Level 28, Shinagawa Intercity Tower A, 2-15-1 Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108-6028, Japan).

We operate projects across the United States (over 800,000 acres in 26 states).

Yes — we focus on providing verified carbon credits that can be used for corporate sustainability goals and carbon markets. We also leverage digital tools / blockchain for traceability.

Currently, our primary focus is on businesses (for offsets) and landowners/farmers (for sequestration programs). If you’re an individual interested in smaller scale purchases, please contact us and we can discuss options.

Pricing varies depending on project size, type, and client requirements. We provide custom proposals based on your needs. For business clients, we’ll assess your footprint and then propose the appropriate volume of credits.

Our plant-based DAC systems are designed to avoid reversal and integrate into farming systems rather than ephemeral carbon sinks.

Similarly, our biochar projects lock carbon for hundreds to thousands of years, providing long-term sequestration.

Beyond carbon removal, our implementation delivers:

• Improved soil health, water retention, and reduced fertilizer needs through regenerative agriculture practices.
• Reduction of methane emissions by converting organic waste to biochar rather than letting it decompose anaerobically.
• Enhanced corporate sustainability story and stakeholder trust.
