Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (SEER) has launched a new subsidiary, SEER Carbon Corp., to spearhead biochar production and the issuance of fully verified, insured carbon credits. Using patented technology licensed from Biochar Now, the company aims to establish a 60-kiln facility in Texas and issue blockchain-recorded carbon credits supported by rigorous verification standards.
SEER will transfer specific assets to SEER Carbon Corp. and raise capital through the sale of digital security tokens. In addition, the company plans to introduce utility tokens backed by the carbon credits, targeting industries such as aviation and golf.
“This new division is perfectly aligned with SEER’s mission to combine environmental stewardship with financial performance,” said John Combs, Chief Executive of SEER. “By producing high-quality biochar and issuing auditable, insured carbon credits, we’re creating new revenue streams and offering trusted carbon offset solutions.”
Biochar, produced from organic biomass, is widely recognised as a scalable and permanent carbon removal method. The market for biochar credits has seen rapid growth, with recent prices exceeding US$200 per credit. However, a surge in supply has raised concerns over quality and verification. SEER says its approach addresses these challenges directly.
“Our credits will be recorded using a decentralised, tamper-proof blockchain system,” said Daniel Cannon, CEO of First Block AI, a partner in the project. “Every SEER carbon credit will be permanently recorded, creating an indisputable chain of custody and boosting confidence for buyers seeking environmental compliance.”
SEER’s production facility will be based in Texas’s timber region and is supported by an air permit issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The project also leverages a collaboration with DevvStream, an environmental technology firm.
James Gaspard, CEO of Biochar Now, highlighted the insurance component of the credit scheme: “Our patented process and credit insurance programme eliminate risk and assure buyers of the authenticity and permanence of every credit issued. This is not just another offset—it’s a fully insured environmental asset.”
The insurance, backed by major financial institutions, will protect credits from devaluation, degradation, or invalidation throughout their lifecycle. SEER believes this framework positions it to deliver the kind of high-integrity credits that markets increasingly demand.
Combs added, “We’ve assembled a remarkable team of experts and innovators to help us achieve our near and mid-term goals—expanding market reach, diversifying revenues, and strengthening the credibility of environmental technologies.”
With the biochar sector projected to grow significantly in the next three years, SEER’s initiative signals a shift toward higher standards of quality, traceability, and market integration in the voluntary carbon market.
