Carbon
production

High quality biochar (biocarbon) that acts as a carbon sink / carbon-offset.

Designed to minimize pollution by thermally oxidizing at 1650 degrees F°

700 degrees C° slow pyrolysis to ensure a clean and carbon rich biocarbon byproduct

Biocarbon

Extraordinarily high quality biochar (biocarbon) for use in a variety of industrial, agricultural, and horticultural applications.

80%+ fixed carbon content; clean and environmentally friendly for industrial and horticultural uses

80%+ fixed carbon content; clean and environmentally friendly for industrial and horticultural uses

Results driven environmentalism

Taking waste and converting it into clean carbon sinks.

Legacy railroad ties can significantly contribute to carbon emissions due to their slow decomposition. But with biochar production, we can stabilize that carbon, preserving it for generations. This innovative approach not only reduces CO₂ in the atmosphere but also fosters a safer, more stable world for us all. Embrace the power of transformation and help create a brighter, sustainable future.

Our story

From 50 years of railroad experience and engineering to maximizing innovation in a fossilized space.

With over 50 years of expertise in railroad construction and salvaging, ITD was born to tackle a pressing challenge: the millions of railroad ties accumulating across the country. Rather than relying on pollutant-heavy disposal methods, we believe in transforming these ties into valuable solutions. While many have envisioned this idea, ITD is proud to be the first to bring it to life on a large scale. Join us in revolutionizing the way we think about railroad ties and creating a more sustainable future.
