Our Story

Biochar is a carbon-rich residue derived from the pyrolysis of biomass and stands at the intersection of sustainability, agriculture and  environmental stewardship. This versatile material, characterised by its stable carbon composition, emerges as a promising tool in addressing pressing challenges such as soil degradation, carbon sequestration, and agricultural productivity enhancement.

In agricultural settings, biochar demonstrates remarkable potential in improving soil fertility and structure. Studies have shown positive correlations between biochar application and enhanced crop yields, particularly in degraded or nutrient-poor soils. By reducing leaching of critical nutrients and promoting nutrient uptake, biochar contributes to soil health and resilience, fostering sustainable agricultural practices.

Beyond its role in soil management, biochar finds application in diverse sectors, from animal breeding to construction materials. As a feed additive, biochar shows promise in improving digestion and reducing methane emissions in livestock, highlighting its potential to address environmental challenges in animal agriculture. In the construction industry, biochar serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete additives, offering reduced carbon emissions and enhanced material properties.

Biochar, a form of charcoal produced from biomass, sequesters carbon dioxide through a process called pyrolysis. When organic matter is heated in the absence of oxygen, it turns into biochar, locking carbon within its structure. This stable carbon-rich material can then be applied to soil, enhancing its fertility and storing carbon for centuries.

Biochar carbon credits are credits representing a permanent sequestration of carbon. This permanent sequestration, also called removal or drawdown, differs from avoidance or reduction credits since it physically traps carbon in a stable form for long periods.

Biochar carbon credits have an immediate impact. In this case, the credits correspond to long-term carbon sequestration with biochar. Instead of gradually reducing the number of emissions released, conversion of the wood to biochar and using it in the soil keeps carbon in the ground.

If you have a supply or access to a supply of sustainable biomass, agricultural waste or organic matter, then contact us to discuss an initial scoping study. If our scoping study establishes that it is an economically viable project, then we will conduct a detailed feasibility study. 

If you have related or supporting ClimateTech technology, finance or EPC (engineering, procurment and construction) skills, then contact us with your partnership proposals.
