TerraForge Biocarbon Solutions Locating Operations in Magnolia
December 11, 2025
Jackson, Miss. (December 11, 2025) – TerraForge Biocarbon Solutions, a metallurgical biocarbon manufacturer, is locating operations in Magnolia. The project represents a corporate investment of more than $100 million and will create 36 jobs.
TerraForge Biocarbon Solutions is a joint venture between Aymium, a biocarbon and biohydrogen product manufacturer, and Weyerhaeuser, the largest integrated forestry and wood products manufacturer in the United States. The company was formed to produce a metallurgical biocarbon product that can substitute for coal and coke in metallurgical processing.
The project includes construction of a new manufacturing facility that will house two biocarbon processors to transform wood fiber through a combustion-free, low-emissions process into metallurgical-grade biocarbon as a drop-in replacement for coal in iron, steel, silicon, ferro-alloys and other metals production.
The Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. MDA also is providing assistance with infrastructure improvements. Pike County is assisting with the project, as well.
TerraForge Biocarbon Solutions expects to complete the project and fill the jobs by 2027.
