About us
Airex Energy is a global leader in decarbonization solutions for industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the transition toward a more sustainable economy.
Our company develops and deploys innovative technologies that valorize residual biomass and transform these resources into high-value-added carbon products.
Our patented Carbon FX™ torrefaction technology lies at the heart of this approach.
Proven at an industrial scale, it enables the production of bio-coal and other renewable carbon solutions for industrial and environmental applications.
Leveraging our technological and operational expertise, we designed, built, and operated a bio-coal production plant in Bécancour for 10 years, demonstrating our ability to turn innovation into concrete industrial solutions.
Our expertise and technology are also central to Carbonity—Canada’s first industrial-scale biochar plant, located on the North Shore.
This major project marks a new milestone in the large-scale deployment of renewable carbon solutions.
We are a team of passionate, entrepreneurial individuals determined to tackle complex challenges.
Here, ideas become projects, projects become solutions, and solutions have the potential to generate a tangible impact on our environment and our industry.
