About Charm Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal.

Since then, we’ve scaled to **[thousands of tons of carbon removal](https://charmindustrial.com/ledger)**, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana.
