Composting sites
Evaluate overs, woody fractions, compost outputs, contamination, stabilization, and biochar or durable product options.
Organic Waste to CDR
From diversion to durable removal.
Organic waste diversion is the starting point. Verified carbon removal is the opportunity. MSW2CDR evaluates whether food scraps, yard waste, food-soiled paper, composting, anaerobic digestion, and existing organics infrastructure can support a credible path toward durable carbon storage.
Why start here
Organic waste is the most understandable entry point for municipal CDR feasibility.
Communities already understand food scraps, yard waste, composting, green bins, organics hauling, anaerobic digestion, landfill diversion, and methane reduction. MSW2CDR builds from that familiar system and evaluates the next step: whether diverted organic carbon can be routed into biochar, hydrochar, AD + CO₂ capture, mineralization, carbon-storing products, or another verified durable pathway.
Core rule: diversion is not the carbon-removal claim. Diversion is the operational starting point that makes a carbon-removal opportunity review possible.
Retrofit potential
Existing organics systems can be assessed without replacing the entire waste program.
AD operators
Evaluate biogenic CO₂ capture, digestate stabilization, methane control, hydrochar, and integrated MRV.
Organics haulers
Evaluate route density, contamination checks, load documentation, source separation, and delivery proof.
High-control producers
Evaluate airports, stadiums, campuses, food courts, grocery operations, resorts, and institutional sites.
