About
SOLER Group is a French family-owned renewable carbon producer (founded 1993, parent of Carbonex) operating three biorefineries that use proprietary pyrolysis technology to convert sustainably sourced wood residues into charcoal, biocarbon, biochar and green electricity. Biochar and CDR credits — sold via Carbonfuture through their Carbon Centric team — are an adjacent product line added around 2021; the core business remains industrial charcoal/biocarbon for metallurgy, construction and barbecue markets, plus cogenerated electricity.
