Biochar

Biochar is a nature-based solution that reduces CO₂ emissions. It provides a durable way to lock carbon into the ground and prevent it from re-entering the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Made by heating organic materials like agricultural or forestry waste in a low-oxygen environment, biochar stabilizes the carbon that plants originally absorbed from the air through photosynthesis. When added to soil, this carbon can remain stored for hundreds to thousands of years while it improves soil health, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and further lower greenhouse gas emissions. It's a natural carbon sink and it's good for the planet.

Wildfire Prevention & Biomass Waste Removal

We partner with forest partners to turn their biomass waste into biochar. This reduces wildfires by removing excess fuel that could ignite and sustain a fire, and helps reduce forest management costs for those agencies by unlocking new income streams from biochar sales and carbon credits. By turning this waste in biochar, we are preventing CO₂ emissions helping growers nourish their soil, and supporting economic development.

Supporting Women Farmers with Regenerative Agriculture practices

We work with local partners in the global south to train small-scale farmers how to make and use biochar on their farms. This regenerative and organic farming practice improves soil quality, crop yields, and sequesters carbon.
