Welcome to a new carbon journey
Global carbon emissions must be rapidly reduced from current levels. But that’s not enough, by far.
To save the climate we have to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
We’re here to do just that.
We reverse climate change by returning carbon back to the ground.
When we lock in the carbon, we also heal deep wounds after human mining activities.
The process gives new life back to the surroundings.
We lock in carbon with
Nature and Tech.
We use plants to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. We convert biomass residues into stable and carbon-rich biochar and then we bury it deep underground in closed mining sites and establish a vegetative cover. This creates a deep artificial permanent biochar repository with CO2 removed permanently from the atmosphere - out of reach of soil erosion, land use change or wildfires.
WE CAPTURE THE CARBON FROM THE AIR
We take care of the agricultural biomass waste that has been stockpiled or otherwise burnt causing environmental harm releasing CH4 or CO2 and black carbon to the atmosphere. We work close together with agro industries in developing countries with large amounts of biomass residues.
WE LOCK IN THE CARBON PERMANENTLY
We convert the biomass residues into biochar with a stable form of carbon which is highly resistance to degradation. We use pyrolysis at high temperature which leads to a highly recalcitrant biochar with a carbon content above 80%.
WE DEPOSIT
THE CARBON UNDERGROUND
We bury the biochar deep underground in existing closed/abandoned mining sites thus creating artificial permanent biochar repositories. As part of the overall rehabilitation process, the biochar will help restore contaminated mine sites and work as filter to prevent leakage. A vegetation cover will be established on top to prevent erosion and help recover biodiversity.
Carbon sequestration & climate adaptation and resilience in agriculture.
We team up with organisations working with smallholders and will provide subsidised biochar to enable sustained sensitisation, training, demonstration farms etc to promote enhanced biochar adoption. Agricultural benefits of biochar are most pronounced in carbon-depleted and acid sub-Saharan soils.
Biochar can boost harvests by over 25 percent
CONTRIBUTIONS BEYOND REMOVALS
We operate in developing countries where a carbon sequestration programme can contribute to multiple SDGs and our mitigation outcome will not be counted towards a national target, (NDC) and risk of double claiming is not an issue for years to come. Our projects, therefore, raise the collective ambition of efforts to achieve the Paris Agreement.
