Graphyte is a carbon capture enterprise established in 2023 with financial support from Bill Gates, initially collaborating with American Airlines. Its business model involves marketing carbon removal credits within voluntary carbon markets across the United States. The firm captures carbon by dehydrating and compacting biomass into brick-like forms, which are then encapsulated in airtight containers and buried underground. This technique, referred to as biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS), ranks among the most economical and durable solutions for carbon dioxide extraction available during the mid-2020s.
