According to a recent LinkedIn post from Mast Reforestation, the company is highlighting progress at its MT1 biomass burial project aimed at addressing wildfire-related carbon emissions. The post references comments by CEO Grant Canary on CBC/Radio-Canada’s “What On Earth,” describing a large-scale effort to bury fire-damaged wood underground in low-oxygen conditions to slow its return to the atmosphere.

The post suggests that monitoring data from above and within the burial chamber indicate the system is performing as designed, with carbon expected to remain sequestered for at least 100 years. It further notes that less than a year after excavation began, Mast has already delivered all carbon credits associated with the MT1 project.
In addition, the company’s LinkedIn update indicates that tree planting on the same landscape is scheduled to begin shortly, implying a combined approach of carbon removal and ecosystem restoration. For investors, the successful issuance of credits in under a year may point to an emerging revenue model tied to carbon markets, subject to verification standards and demand for long-duration removal credits.
The post also frames biomass burial as a “new funding solution” to help close financing gaps as Canada and the U.S. confront increasingly severe wildfire seasons. If this approach scales and gains policy or corporate buyer support, Mast Reforestation could strengthen its position in the climate-tech and nature-based solutions segment, though project performance, regulatory acceptance, and carbon price volatility remain key variables for its long-term financial outlook.
