For us, sustainable agriculture is not a niche — it is the new standard. Locally produced, independently of global supply chains, and certified to EU standards.
Five interconnected value streams — from the barn to the field, from local residuals to certified carbon credits.
CE-certified soil substrate pursuant to EU Fertilizing Product Regulation 2019/1009. Produced from manure, biochar and nutrients — a large-scale alternative to conventional mineral fertilizers. Improves soil structure, promotes plant growth, prevents nitrate leaching, and acts as a certified long-term CO₂ sink. Produced locally. Independent of global supply chains.

Carbon certificationManure → clean process water + C-Humus® + carbon credits + energy. Nothing is wasted. Every output generates value.
See the systemProduction facilities generate surplus energy — 3.0 MW/year of heat delivered to local and district heating networks. A contribution to the regional energy transition.
"C" stands for the carbon in biochar — "Humus" for the organic carbon in the organic component, combined with soil nutrients N, P, K, Mg, and trace elements. Together, they form a substrate that works like nature's own Terra Preta.
C-Humus® is produced by combining organic filter material from manure processing with soil nutrients from slurry, green waste, biochar and minerals. The resulting mixed substrate is fermented and further processed into a certified biofertilizer pellet.
The sponge-like porous structure of the biochar stores water and nutrients, hosting complex communities of microorganisms. Through C-Resource's proprietary process, biochar is coated internally and externally with soil nutrients — achieving exceptional plant-available nutrient density.
C-Humus® uses slurry and biochar as nutrient carriers, improves soil properties, and promotes plant growth. By building up humus and enhancing cation exchange capacity, yields improve in the long term.
C-Humus® has a positive CO₂ balance due to the binding of carbon in the soil. Each tonne applied acts as a long-term, certified carbon removal sink.
C-Humus® supports the regeneration of healthy soils as a natural, organic soil improver. It prevents nutrient losses through leaching and reduces nitrogen pollution in soil and groundwater.
C-Humus® improves water retention capacity and soil biodiversity thanks to the sponge-like, porous structure of the biochar — 5× water absorption of its own weight.
Regional production supports EU and German climate protection objectives through significant CO₂e reduction and creation of certified carbon sinks.
Surplus renewable energy — 3.0 MW/year of heat — is delivered to local district heating. A direct contribution to the regional energy transition.
Production complies with EU regulations, ensuring availability and affordability of fertilizers fully independent of geopolitical supply disruptions.
Local raw materials, local jobs, 60,000 t/year of biofertilizer as a direct alternative to imported mineral fertilizers. Value stays in the region.
The patented EAP® process reduces NH₃, CH₄ and N₂O at the source — fully automated, 24/7, without disrupting farm operations. Operational since 2023 at the Streicherhof pilot plant in Bavaria.
The Stiftung myclimate (Dr. Roman Hüppi & Fiona Stewart-Smith) independently validated the scientific basis of all seven EAP® mechanisms, commissioned by M-Klimafonds. Key findings:
Conclusion: "Das C-Resource Verfahren ist ingenieurtechnisch plausibel, wissenschaftlich fundiert und zeigt ein sehr hohes Potenzial zur Reduktion von Emissionen." — myclimate, 22.04.2026
Biochar distributed mechanically on barn floor. Binds moisture, nutrients and ammonia immediately.
Lely robot distributes proprietary lactic acid formulation. pH → <5.0 blocks NH₃ formation by 80–90%.
Slurry pumped every 2 hours into 6 filter containers (160 m²), 20–30 m from barn.
Natural gravity separation — no chemicals. Multiple filter phases. Purely physical and biological.
Clear water (drinking water quality) + solid substrate → C-Humus® precursor. Continuous remote monitoring.

C-Resource generates both avoidance credits from the EAP® process and removal credits from C-Humus® — independently certified, with distinct buyer profiles in the voluntary carbon market.
The EAP® process prevents NH₃, CH₄ and N₂O from entering the atmosphere — generating certified avoidance credits for food manufacturers reducing their Scope 3 FLAG emissions.
Food retailers face mandatory Scope 3 FLAG emissions targets under SBTi-validated programmes. EAP®-generated avoidance credits allow them to demonstrate measurable, independently certified reductions within their supply chains.
Myclimate study (April 2026): "Die Finanzierung der Klimaschutzleistung innerhalb der Wertschöpfungskette der Tierhaltungsbetriebe [ermöglicht] Co-Finanzierung des Klimaschutzbeitrags." The study explicitly confirms feasibility as a Scope 3 climate protection project for food industry customers.
Each tonne of C-Humus® applied to soil acts as a permanent, certified carbon sink. Biochar-bound carbon remains stable in the soil for centuries.
Combined avoidance and removal credits: 78,000 t CO₂e per unit p.a. — two independent value streams with stable, growing demand.
C-Resource integrates decentralized EAP® units on farms with a centralized C-Humus® production plant. Every output generates value. Nothing is wasted.
Modular container unit in or adjacent to the barn. Automated lactic acid and biochar addition binds NH₃ and CH₄ at the source. 24/7 automated operation.
Solids transported to central C-Humus® plant. Purified process water remains on the farm — 190,000 m³ per unit p.a. for field irrigation.
Central plant: 60,000 t/a. Biochar + manure solids + nutrients → CE-certified soil substrate. 6,700 t biochar p.a. Energy surplus to district heating.
C-Humus® biofertilizer for regional agriculture. Clean process water for farm irrigation (190,000 m³/unit p.a.). Biochar-based carbon sinks. Surplus energy to district heating networks. Every material flow is captured, certified, and utilised.
C-Resource addresses the full agricultural challenge — not just one piece. We compare differently to alternative approaches in the sustainable fertilizer space.
| Criterion | C-Resource | Alternative approaches |
|---|---|---|
| Input source | Livestock manure — solving a waste & pollution problem at source | Agricultural byproducts (crop-specific), synthetic inputs, or air/water |
| Operational status | ✓ 3 years pilot operation (Streicherhof, Bavaria, since 2023) | Many still in pilot or first-plant phase |
| Emission avoidance | ✓ In-barn (NH₃, CH₄, N₂O) — up to 85% reduction, certified | Typically focused on production emissions only |
| Carbon credits | ✓ Both avoidance credits (EAP®) AND removal credits (C-Humus®) | Usually only one credit type |
| EU regulatory fit | ✓ CE-certified · EU FPR 2019/1009 · DüV-compliant · German HQ | Primarily US market; EU expansion in progress |
| Supply chain independence | ✓ 100% locally sourced inputs — no global dependencies | Dependent on specific feedstock availability or global logistics |
| System outputs | ✓ Five distinct outputs: biofertilizer, two credit types, energy, clean process water | Typically one or two output streams |
We regenerate soils and avoid GHG emissions in agriculture. We believe in sustainable agriculture that is scalable — not as a niche, but as the new standard.
In a circular system, we use local biomass, residual materials and manure to produce a high-quality, scalable alternative to conventional fertilizer. Our work strengthens water resilience, reduces nitrate leaching, and generates verifiable climate impact — measurable, auditable, and locally anchored.
Our team brings together experience from research, industry, finance, and agriculture, combining diverse perspectives to drive practical and innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture.
We are currently expanding our website. More detailed information on technology, certification, and partnership models will be available here shortly. We look forward to hearing from you.
Klimaschutz, der sich lohnt — for your farm, cooperative, food retailer or supply chain. We look forward to the conversation.
